During the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there was a famous soldier named Tan Dao Ji. He once compared himself to the Great Wall of Wan Li, believing that the emperor killed himself because he doubted his loyalty. Later, Tan Daoji was killed by Song Wendi 15 years later, Song Wendi launched the Northern Expedition, but it was defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it was issued, "If Tan Daoji is still there, how can it be this far!" Sigh.
Li was a famous soldier in the Tang Dynasty. He experienced numerous wars in his life. As early as in Wagangzhai, he started fighting from Shimi and made great contributions to Wagangzhai. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he conquered Emperor Taizong many times and made immortal contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he made great contributions in major military campaigns such as attacking and conquering East Turkistan, pacifying Xue Yantuo and eliminating Koguryo. It was named "Great Wall" by Li Shimin.
The poet wants to imitate their spirit and compare himself to "climbing the Great Wall", thinking that he can also become a hero against the enemy, but in fact, his ambition is not rewarded, but he has become rich and prosperous, in order to express his extreme indignation at the capitulators who are content to resist gold.
Extended information poem: Five Nu Shu First Song Dynasty: Lu You
When I was a child, I knew that the world was unbearable and the Central Plains looked like a mountain.
It snowed all night in the building, and the autumn wind dispersed in the iron horse.
Stuffed on the Great Wall, making empty promises, the sideburns in the mirror have long faded.
Real name first, who is better than one thousand years!
Translation:
When I was young, I decided to explore the Central Plains in the north. I never thought it would be so difficult. I often look north at the Central Plains, my blood is boiling, and my grievances are like mountains. I remember beating up the nomads from Guazhou and releasing warships on a snowy night. The autumn wind swept Ma Benteng, recovering the good news of the big three passes.
I think I compared myself to the Great Wall of Wan Li, and made a great wish to sweep away the border troubles for the motherland. Up to now, it is empty talk to expect the recovery of the Northern Expedition. People can't help thinking of Zhu Gekongming, who is really a model. Who made every effort to lead the three armies to the Han Dynasty and establish the Central Plains in the north?
