Haraharu
(Qing) Qiu 1896 April 17
It's hard to force people to see mountains in spring.
The past is thrilling and makes people cry.
Four million people cry at the same time,
Today last year, Taiwan Province Province was cut.
Spring worries are hard to get rid of, and I am forced to look at the distant mountains. The past was shocking and tears streamed down my face. Four million Taiwan Province compatriots shouted in unison. Today last year was the day when the motherland's treasure island was ceded!
This is an impromptu lyric poem. The main idea of the poem is: Spring returns to the earth, facing the spring, causing me endless spring worries. It is difficult to get rid of it, and it is still difficult to eliminate the sadness in my chest even though I barely look at the mountain scenery. Recalling the thrilling past can't help but make people cry. Four million compatriots were deeply saddened by this and wept in unison, because they were forced to cede today's Taiwan Province Province last year.
The writer is a modern patriotic poet in Miaoli County, Taiwan Province Province. The Qing government ceded Taiwan Province Province to Japan, and he led the rebels to resist Japan, showing lofty national integrity. Defeated to the mainland, he was homesick, remembering that his hometown was occupied by invaders, and his family's worries and hatred for the country were intertwined. Facing the spring scenery, he can't help feeling "where petals flow like tears". The whole poem is straightforward and very touching.
I appreciated this poem in the spring of 1896, that is, one year after treaty of shimonoseki was signed. The poet learned from a painful experience and expressed strong patriotic feelings. Spring is the most beautiful season of the year, with green grass, trees and flowers in full bloom, and even the spring mountain is particularly charming. But why is it difficult for poets to get rid of their worries about spring, so that they are not interested in watching the spring mountain reluctantly? This is because the poet has never forgotten the painful past that happened last spring. Taiwan Province Province was originally the sacred territory of China, where poets were born and raised. Unexpectedly, the Qing Dynasty traitorous government ceded it to Japan. This is a shameless betrayal to the people of Taiwan Province Province and a great shame to the people of Taiwan Province Province. Looking back on this thrilling tragedy, how can the poet not be filled with emotion and burst into tears? At this time, the poet was forced to leave his hometown and saw the spring mountains in the mainland, which was associated with the green mountains and green waters in his hometown of Taiwan Province Province, the land occupied by the Japanese invaders, which naturally hurt his feelings. Spring worries are hard to get rid of, just a manifestation of the poet's love for the motherland and his hometown landscape. In the last two poems, the poet used inverted sentences to describe that when Taiwan Province Province was ceded last year today, four million people in Taiwan Province Province cried in unison and fell prostrate. This tearful scene vividly shows that all the people in Taiwan Province Province love the motherland and Taiwan Province Province is an inseparable part of the great motherland. From this point of view, this poem clearly embodies the spirit of the times at that time and has precious historical value. The language of this poem is unpretentious, but it has a shocking artistic power. This is mainly due to the poet breathing with his own people, * * * love and hate intertwined, tears overflow together. "Touching people, don't worry about love first." This poem is touching mainly because it truly and strongly expresses people's feelings and wishes.
