Spring has a hundred flowers and autumn has a moon, as long as people are willing to slow down, there are charming scenery everywhere in life. Every grass and tree may have a deep affection; green mountains and green waters are more likely to bury a lot of loyal bones.
A poet of the Southern Song Dynasty was once ordered to go out, and when he passed a small forest, he suddenly felt a lot of emotions. What exactly impressed the poet? Is there any legend hidden in this forest? The following is Yang Wanli's winter lyrics, reciting a poem of seven gems, implicitly, but touching people's hearts.
Soaphorn forest Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli The water and frost are cold, and the moss seals the war bones. The only tree by the river knows what wood, and it is said that the soap horn forest is passed down from ancient times.
The meaning of the poem is: the river is rippling, the frost is cold and the wind is cold, the clothes are thin, and the north wind is bone-chilling. The soldiers who died in the fight against the enemy were buried in the ground, and the ground was covered with moss, and there was no way to identify them, nor did anyone distinguish them, how not to make people sigh and mourn.
That lonely tree by the river, know what kind of tree it is? It should have been a soap horn tree that had been baptized by the enemy's beacon a long time ago! The heroic deeds of the soap horn forest against the enemy will be passed down for a long time.
Yang Wanli, Zi Tingxiu, Jiangxi Jishuiren, a famous poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, served as a secretary supervisor and deputy envoy of Jiangdong Transport. He was proficient in poetry and wrote the "Makoto Collection". The soap horn forest is thirty miles south of Yangzhou City, close to Guazhou, and it is also a necessary place to pass from Yangzhou to Guazhou during the Southern Song Dynasty, where there is a soap horn forest. Soap horn is a deciduous tree with thorny branches and small, dense leaves.
The poem was written during the Southern Song Dynasty, when the poet served as a companion and was ordered to travel by water to the Huai River to greet the emissaries of the Jin Dynasty. When he passed through Guazhou and saw the soap horn forest, he remembered a fierce battle that took place here that year, so he wrote a poem.
The first sentence depicts the surrounding environment, "water ripples frost wind cold guest placket". Although it was only the beginning of winter, the weather in the north was severely cold, and the roaring north wind kept blowing by his side, not only the water rippled, but also through the poet's clothes, making him feel bone-chilling.
The weather is cold, you can add clothes; but the chill in your heart cannot be overcome for a while. When the poet saw the north bank of the Huai River trampled by the iron hooves of the Jin people, he immediately felt sad. He suddenly remembered the unforgettable battle that took place here twenty-eight years ago.
The Jin lord Yan Liang personally led 600,000 cavalry south, and the smoke and dust along the way were covered in smoke, and those princes and ministers were very shocked. The famous general Liu Kun stationed in Zhenjiang was not afraid, and he personally led his troops across the river to meet the battle. Many of the Jin ships came carrying grain, and Liu Ordered the divers to sink their ships and immediately send troops to garrison Guazhou for battle deployment.
However, the Yangzhou defender Liu Ze faced the attack of Gao Jingshan, the commander of the Jin army, abandoned the city and fled, and the city fell. Gao Jingshan also took advantage of the situation to command the Jin army to capture Guazhou, but Liu Kun's army refused to take command of the soap horn forest, and personally commanded the front line, dismounted and fought to the death. The Chinese general Wang Zuo set up an ambush in the soap horn forest, and the crossbow fired suddenly, killing and wounding countless Jin soldiers, and fled to Yangzhou. Liu Kun pursued with his troops, beheaded Gao Jingshan, captured hundreds of Jin soldiers, and won a complete victory.
Yang Wanli was born when the country and the nation were in difficulty, he was burdened with a humiliating mission, and after the land of fierce battles in those years, he touched the past and gave poetry to the past, and the second sentence appeared emotionally desolate, "Moss sealing the bones of war moves people's hearts." The great victories in the past battles also greatly boosted morale, but because the enemy was still strong and weak, in the end we had to retreat to Zhenjiang.
The poet lamented that the heroes and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country have been forgotten for many years, and even where their bones are buried, no one cares. The moss is flying and covering the bones of the war, as if only they have great pity for those warriors, and the poet does not say that he is moved, but the three words "moving" come from the heart.
The last two sentences express the sentiment, "The only tree by the river knows what wood, and the soap horn forest is passed down from ancient times today." "The poet was thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly he found that there was a lonely tree growing by the river, and he did not know how many years it had stood here. Looking around again, there was a lush forest of soap horns, and the cold wind blew through, and it seemed that the sound of shouting and killing could still be faintly heard.
If people don't know the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, they don't know what Yang Wanli wants to express. In fact, there were many similar battles at that time, some of which were organized by the people spontaneously, but how many people were remembered by future generations? Yang Wanli's poem implicitly implies that he sees things and thinks of people, remembers those heroes who bravely sacrificed their lives, and also hopes that the Great Song Dynasty can regain its might and recover the lost land as soon as possible!
