Full-text translation of Dafeng songs

Original text: The wind is flying, the weaver girl returns to the sea, and the brave guards the four sides!

The wind is blowing, and the clouds are rolling and rushing with the wind. A mighty Ma Pingchuan, returning home with clothes on. How can we get a warrior to defend our country?

Make an appreciative comment

Song of the Great Wind contains only three sentences, which is extremely rare in the history of China's poetry. Each of the three poems represents a vast and different scene and artistic conception. The author really cherishes these three poems and is highly concentrated.

Among them, the first sentence, the wind rises in the clouds, is the most amazing poem in ancient and modern times. The author did not directly describe how he and his men annihilated and annihilated the rebellious enemies on the grand battlefield, but skillfully compared this thrilling war scene with strong winds and flying dark clouds.

If Xiang Yu's "Gaixia Song" shows the sorrow of losers, then "Da Feng Ge" shows the sorrow of winners. As a link between these two kinds of sadness, it is a sentimental feeling for people's smallness.

Extended data:

It was Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, who sang in the wind. At the beginning of BC 195, after putting down the rebellion in Ying Bu, he returned to his hometown Pei County, where he sang and feasted his neighbors, and the song of the great wind came out. Later, it was named after Dafeng from the beginning, and the great wind song was magnificent and passed down through the ages.

Creation background

In October of the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 196), Ying Bu, king of Huainan, rebelled. Because he was brave and good at fighting, Liu Bang had to go out in person. Later, Ying Bu was defeated. On his way back to the army after the victory, Liu Bang stopped by his hometown, Pei County (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province), and called his former friends and elders to drink together for more than ten days. One day, when he drank too much wine, Liu Bang sang while hammering and improvised this song "Song of the Strong Wind".

A few years before the creation of this poem, the newly established Han Empire experienced rebellions in Rebecca, Zhang Qian, Han Wangxin and Chen Yi. Now the rebellion in Ying Bu has been put down, but the Huns in the north are eyeing up, and the strength of the domestic rebels is also waiting for an opportunity, and the whole country is teetering.

Liu Bang has returned to his hometown at this moment, remembering that the ups and downs of the first half of his life have brought today's glory, and all forces are trying to push this empire he built himself into the abyss. Presumably, Liu Bang sang this poem with a kind of heroism under the cover of sadness.
