Chen Lin went to drink in Ma Great Wall Grotto.
Drinking in Ma Great Wall Grotto, the water was cold and hurt the horse’s bones. If you go to the Great Wall officials, be careful not to keep Taiyuan soldiers behind! Official work has its own course, and it will harmonize your voice! A man would rather die in a fight than build the Great Wall in frustration.
The Great Wall stretches for three thousand miles. There are many healthy cities in the border towns, but there are many widows in the inner houses. If you write a book and a house, then marry and don't keep her. Be kind to your new daughter-in-law, and always think of my old master!
The newspaper is going to the border areas, why are you so mean when you say something now? Why should he detain his family members when they are in disaster? Be careful not to give birth to a boy, but use breasts to feed a girl. I don't see you alone. Under the Great Wall, the bones of dead people are leaning on each other. The relationship between you and your husband is close to your heart. Knowing that the borderland is miserable, how can I, a humble concubine, be safe for a long time?
Translations and annotations
Let horses drink from the Great Wall Cave, but the spring water is cold and hurts the horse's bones. The officials who found the Great Wall told him not to stay in Taiyuan anymore!
The official said: The official project has a deadline, hurry up, pound the soil and shout in unison!
The Taiyuan police officer said: A man should fight to death, how can he build the Great Wall in such a depressed manner?
The Great Wall stretches endlessly for three thousand miles. There are countless young and middle-aged men serving in the border towns, and countless wives living alone in their hometowns.
Send a letter to your wife: remarry quickly and don’t wait! After you get married, serve your new parents-in-law well and remember not to forget me, the old man.
My wife wrote back to the border area and asked in her letter: Why do you speak so unpleasantly now?
The Taiyuan police officer wrote in his letter: If you are in trouble and cannot go back, why do you keep your daughter?
Never feed a boy after giving birth to a baby, and feed a girl with meat. Haven't you seen the bones of the dead intertwined under the Great Wall?

Appreciation
"Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave" is a poem by Chen Lin, a writer in the late Han Dynasty. This poem uses old Yuefu titles and is based on the historical fact that the rulers of the Qin Dynasty forced the people to build the Great Wall. Through the dialogue between the husband and wife of the soldiers who built the city, this poem profoundly reveals the deep disaster and pain that the heavy and endless corvee brought to the people. The poem uses the form of dialogue between letters to reveal the inner world of the hero and heroine and their deep concern for each other, and praises the noble sentiments of the couple who built the city and who built the city. The language of the whole poem is concise and vivid, sincere and touching.
This poem uses the form of dialogue to express the protagonist's demeanor and mood, which is concise and vivid. The dialogue between soldiers and officials reflects the hard work of the soldiers who served in the border areas for a long time, as well as their eagerness to return home; the letters between soldiers and their wives reflect the great sentiments of ancient working women and military servicemen who endured humiliation, cared for each other, and remained committed to life and death. . The sadness and indignation of being careful not to give birth to a boy but sucking breasts to give birth to a girl has made many readers cry. Du Fu once used his letter to tell us in "The War Chariot" that it is evil to have a boy, but it is good to have a girl. If you give birth to a girl, you still have to marry your neighbor, but if you give birth to a boy, you will have to marry her neighbor. Don’t see you. In Qinghaitou, no one has collected the bones since ancient times. The poem "New ghosts are annoyed and old ghosts cry, and the sky is wet and rainy," expresses his curse on the unjust wars that took place during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. Looking into its origin, it is obviously influenced by Chen Lin's Yuefu poem.
Stop the song and drink the horse crossing the autumn water
Wang Changling Stop the song and drink the horse crossing the autumn water
Drink the horse to cross the autumn water, the water is cold and the wind is like a knife.
The sun has not gone out on Pingsha, and I can see Lintao dimly.
In the old days of the Great Wall War, Xian Yan was in high spirits.
The yellow dust is enough for the present and the past, and the white bones are a mess of wormwood.
Translation and Notes
I led my horse to drink water and crossed the big river. The water was cold and the autumn wind was as sharp as a sword.
The setting sun has not yet set in the vast battlefield, and Lintao is seen in the distance in the dimness.
There was a fierce battle at the Great Wall back then, and everyone said that the soldiers guarding the border were in high spirits.
Since ancient times, this place has been filled with yellow dust, with white bones scattered here and there mixed with weeds.
1. An'an: Same as An'an;
2. Lintao: The area around Minxian County in Gansu Province today is the starting point of the Great Wall.
3. Xian: Du.
Appreciation
?This Yuefu piece uses the Great Wall as the background to depict the tragic cruelty of war. The first four lines of the poem describe the desolate scene of sunset on the flat sand outside the Great Wall in late autumn; the last four lines describe the area around the Great Wall, which has always been a battlefield, with bones forming mounds and a desolate scene. The whole poem is shocking and expresses the idea of ??non-war.
Poetry on the Great Wall
Poetry on the Great Wall
1. "Ballad of the Great Wall"
Xi Murong
Although the city A piece of history was fought under the city
Even though Yanzhi was taken and Yanzhi was returned
How many passes have there been so many joys and sorrows
You will always be a Heartless building
Squatting on the top of the desolate mountain
Looking at the grudges of the world with cold eyes
Why can't I always sing when I sing you
I can’t write about you
But as soon as I mention you, fire will burst into flames
In the fire there is your body that is thousands of miles away
There is your face that is thousands of years old
With your clouds, your trees, your wind
Under the Yin Mountain of Chilechuan
Tonight the moonlight should be like water
And the Yellow River still needs to be Flow past you
Flow into my sleepless dream
2. "Wild Great Wall"
(1)
I am in the dilapidated tower, feeling the joy of the wind.
Experience the hormonal charm of Genghis Khan.
The bleating moo on the distant grassland,
in the higher and farther beacon tower.
Burn a pile of dog shit,
and you can witness the miracle of the Spring and Autumn Period.
(2)
Pulling up a solid blue brick,
the sweat of migrant worker Wan will ooze under his feet.
I would like to ask Sister Xiao Meng:
Have you ever had a full lunch?
(3)
On the ruins of the beacon tower,
picked two green apricots,
put them in your mouth Hey, hey, hey,
Give another one to the uncle guarding the gate.
Uncle Qi lives in the Niulu I made up,
in the stockade far away from the Korean camp,
and in the woods where he is protected from the suffering of crops.
Uncle Qi’s grandfather mocked the glowing eyes in the darkness with his lips,
used a branch of feather arrows to send them a message:
Memorize it yourself Please come to my house, please;
It's best to bring your sister and go to the desk.
Don’t let me be in a daze on an empty stomach;
Let the little Nanman in this hundred years,
lift my feet The apricot beans growing out of it were stuffed into my grandson's mouth.
(4)
Watch this wild Great Wall,
There are no more Tatars.
The descendants of Xuanyuan,
need to engrave seals to apply for certificates,
need to present an orthodox pOSE,
need to calculate the investment cost of Emperor Yingzong.
Humans are not gods,
they just like to get distracted in the stories they write
.
3. "Your figure winding among the mountains"
I went to Shanhaiguan a few years ago
This year I went to Jinshanling specifically
I have a deep understanding of the Great Wall
But I have not written a poem for the Great Wall
Its momentum exceeds the majesty of my heart
Its length is longer than my deep sigh
I need to climb from one height to another
Open your mind as wide as space
It is not easy to be a hero since ancient times
It is even more difficult to be a poet like the Great Wall
You must touch every iron-green Qin brick
Make a profound exploration into the dim cracks of time
My passion at that time was also like a raging fire
I was full of pride in every crenel of it
Looking from inside the pass to outside the pass and from east to west
From time to time I shake my shoulders to straighten my spine
4. "The Great Wall Released"
Like red plums in the snow,
The warmth of longing calls for the spring breeze.
Like the rushing Yellow River,
The ups and downs of the pot’s mouth knock on the three gates.
I have a long-lasting wish,
I have an unforgettable dream.
When can crutches turn into wings?
When will the wheelchair be plugged into Hot Wheels?
When did you splash down for nine days in a spaceship?
When will you take a walk and climb the Great Wall?
I have a surging desire,
I have a cherished dream.
My wish is to ride a rainbow to the Great Pass,
The stars hold the moon and lift dozens of wheelchairs up the mountain.
Dreaming of looking at the battlements with auspicious clouds,
The armed police soldiers carried the paralyzed man to the top of the beacon tower.
Green mountains and blue rivers dance with dragons,
Grand plans and long winds express heroic sentiments
The heroic ambitions of heroes,
pay homage to the heroic soul of the nation.
The passionate love of an innocent child,
Close to the heart of the motherland.
The Great Wall is the launch pad of the new era,
The patriotic passion of the descendants of Yan and Huang surges.
I came from the ups and downs,
I learned to fly here.
Let go, my burning ambition,
Let go, my unyielding life,
Let go, my wishes for the new century, < /p>
Let go, the eternal youth of me and my motherland!
5. "The Great Wall"
How many people have you loved throughout the ages?
How many people have praised your unparalleled ambition
And How many people have you made sink into the haze?
Alas! You are always everywhere
But you always stand aside from the rest of the world
I often feel excited when I mention you
But now in this snowy world< /p>
Today, when the wind is howling, I am wandering here
Wandering in your ancient and ancient pass
Your majestic high-bank figure surrounds the mountains
Like a bright jade belt
Although you have long been eliminated by history
You are no longer of use and are not favored by your industry
But you are still Travel leisurely
The footsteps of history are rushing one year after another
But you are squatting in the blue star faction after all
How many people have passed by you But I ignored you
My heart has been unstable for a long time
Because I finally came to the fortress next to you
I finally saw your thousand-year style
The sea of ??people passing by you now
I don’t know if there are tens of thousands of people lining up again
But you are still standing there far away outside the wall
< p> Listen to the sighs of the birds and the trees every dayPrepare to wait slowly in this era of rapid development
Waiting for you This last mission does not exist
Then it disappears beyond this world
6. "A Tour of the Badaling Great Wall"
(1)
Huma, Autumn Wind, Saixiaqu, Guanshanyue, Shuludi, Tianshan Snow
Bing Dao, Wu Gou, Green Bar Sword, Dilu XX, Beacon Tower, Luminous Cup
< p> They were all your scenery in four seasonsThe mountains and rivers remain the same, the earth is speechless
Between the vast mountains
You wind up into a thick history< /p>
The beacon of blood and fire, life and death is silent
Ode or sigh
The most generous song
is twenty The swords held tightly by those passionate men of the Ninth Army
And the blood-red battle flag that will never fall!
The real Great Wall,
is a nation
A dignity that cannot be insulted
It is the iron will of the people
< p> We cherish peace, so we look back on war(2)
The Great Wall
You blocked the sharp arrows like locusts
You soften the neighing of war horses
And the milk, leather, ginseng, mutton skewers, simplicity and bravery outside the Great Wall, as well as the persistence and frankness of northern women
The bayberry of the south, the embroidery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, The singing of Yangzhou, the passion of the Qinhuai River, and the seafood treasures of Guangzhou
have never been blocked by you
Just like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River
A rushing river The masculinity of the Chinese nation
A rippling tenderness of the people of Yan and Huang
(3)
The Great Wall, the Great Wall
is by no means just majestic and majestic Majestic
A picture of thick history
There is also misty autumn rain!
7. "Looking at the Great Wall"
Your true length cannot be measured with footsteps
Your figure winding among the mountains
Touched affectionately by the eyes and the camera
My stirring heart beats with your sonorous pulse
The sweat from your bare shirt and bare feet welds your tallness and solidity
< p> The wisdom of the ancient working people created your majestic adventureThrough two thousand years of wind, rain and billowing smoke, you have come all the way
Holding high the tenacious fighting spirit and the unyielding spirit Backbone
Your Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, and thousands of miles of birds are singing and flowers are fragrant
Your Great Wall has blessed us for eternity, and has been prosperous and strong for eternity
8. "The Great Wall is Long"
Traveling through two thousand years of wind and sand,
Going through countless wars and smoke,
Accompanied by the bright moon of the Qin and Han Dynasties,
Carrying the dust of the Tang and Song Dynasties ,
From the Qin Dynasty,
you stood tall until now,
from the northwest,
you spread to the sea.
Back then,
you followed Qin Shihuang’s brilliant strategy,
and he used that bloody sword to unify the six kingdoms.
On the mountains and rivers,
evokes a
military fortress that is written thousands of miles away,
builds a
miracle on earth that spreads across thousands of mountains. .
Behind the Great Wall,
that distant story,
is an endless song of sorrow,
Listen, that Meng Jiangnu,
carrying the grief of losing her husband,
carrying the anger towards the First Emperor,
facing this stretch of the Great Wall, < /p>
Crying loudly,
Sorrowful for thousands of miles,
With endless tears,
In the sound of wailing,
Shocked the world,
Until the sky collapsed,
The city collapsed, and the walls collapsed,
Let an eternal legend chant to this day.
Look, those baskets of loess,
those pieces of blue bricks,
all bear the scars of flesh and blood,
All with the bone-white desolation,
In the separation of long-lasting love between children,
In the sorrow of wives and children,
In the picture of history
Build a high wall full of blood and tears,
Build a Great Wall that melted into the heroic spirit.
Now, when the flames of war and smoke have long dissipated,
When the clamor of drums and horns has long gone,
As long as the Great Wall has passed through the dust of thousands of years,
< p> Engraved with the vicissitudes of history,From ancient times to the present,
From beyond the Great Wall to the Central Plains,
With a backbone that still does not fall,
p>
Forever across the land of China.
The Great Wall is long,
I can’t use words,
to describe your majesty,
I can’t use pen,
p>
Describe your meandering beauty,
There are only those green bricks,
In the long river of history,
Thousands of heroes and patriots of flesh and blood,
forged into an eternal monument,
with that clanking pride,
with that eternal majesty,
Forever connected to the hearts of the Chinese people,
Forever straightened up the back of the Chinese nation.
9. "The Ballad of the Great Wall"
For more than two thousand years
You have been entrenched in the hearts of Chinese people
Like a snake< /p>
Devouring the joys and sorrows of the Meng Jiang girls
You are more like a leather whip
Beating this scarred tribe
Being lifted again and again It turned over
It’s the cube-shaped empire
No, you are a long rope
You tied the wings of freedom
What cannot be tied up
is the desert with its teeth and claws
and the flames of war that resurrect again and again
You are a long rope
p>You have deeply engulfed suffering
The arms of trackers on both sides of the river
10. "The Tears of the Great Wall"
Your history,< /p>
It is so desolate.
Loaded with too much helplessness,
You are heading for tragedy.
I have witnessed too many historical facts,
It is so long.
You don’t want to be the final sin,
You don’t want to be the beginning of a new wound.
You can only obey the flames of war,
Silently licking the wounds of the land.
Looking at the sword in the distance,
the light shining in the north.
Your history,
is so desolate.
After experiencing too much blood,
you are heading towards sadness.
The epic of the earth
sounded from your body.
Just like the upright reverse scales,
Burning with the smoke of sorrow.
Behind you,
are hiding countless figures.
Slowly buried by your body.
Your history,
is so desolate.
Like an earthy giant dragon,
You fly to the sky.
The changes of dynasties,
cannot affect your sad figure.
The numb bricks and tiles,
are no longer sad.
You don’t want to be exposed to the world,
You don’t want to appreciate the scenery of the frontier.
You can only carry the hooves of aggression,
Ruining another dream.
Your history,
is so desolate.
The mark of war,
has no longer made a sound.
You resent that you can't block Peiping's artillery fire;
You can only hear the front,
a heartbreaking hesitation.
The mottled body,
is no longer glorious.
But the dazzling beacon fire,
is still raging in the distance.
Ah! Great Wall!
Where is your soul still wandering?
Like the reborn dragon,
You roar with glory.
It was just the smoke-filled July,
The earth suffered too many misfortunes.
The mournful long cry,
along the north,
echoes, echoes.
The past of dust,
has been destroyed by history.
You are lying in decline,
but you are looking southward.
The movement of hope is played again.
The bright red flag,
is raised in the distance.
You are looking forward to such brightness,
you can also have it in yourself.
But is this hope too far away?
The earth,
is still covered in black fog.
I saw the blood of Nanjing,
splashed on you.
Leaving traces of blood,
Burying with maple red flowing out.
Dawn!
That is the singing of dawn!
You are covered with light,
flying in the sky.
Let out a shocking roar to the earth,
Only a flash of bright red,
above your head,
fluttering in the wind .
What you are carrying is no longer the hooves of aggression,
but the eyes of admiration.
The world marvels at your greatness,
and covers you with the light of miracles.
But you don’t want to perform miracles,
and you don’t want to be admired by the world.
