"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city of Wanlingshan", since the Tang Dynasty, Biansai poetry has become the most imaginative, most profound and artistic part of classical poetry. Therefore, it has also achieved a number of very famous border plug poets, some of whom have been to the border plug, some have not, but in any case, their works have a great influence on later generations, so that in the later Song Dynasty, more writers will integrate the border plug factor into the creation of words, such as Fan Zhongyun.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a Li Yuanhao established the Western Xia in the northwest, brazenly launched a war, wantonly plundered, and invaded the borders of the Northern Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan was ordered to go to the border in the first year of Kangding and the third year of the Qing calendar, and during the period from the first year of Kangding to the third year of the Qing calendar, he was also the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Jingluo and the governor of Yanzhou.
During Fan Zhongyan's tenure in Shaanxi, he fought against the enemy on the side, advised Nongsang, and not only gave strict orders but also cared for the soldiers, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Western Xia was deeply convinced. However, after all, it is far away from relatives and guarding the bitter cold frontier, the autumn wind strikes, full of depression, it is inevitable to arouse the author's homesickness, so he has the feeling to create the ancient song "Fisherman's Pride Qiusi", which can be called the best masterpiece in the poetry of the border plug.
"Fisherman's Pride Autumn Thoughts"
[Song Dynasty] Fan Zhongyun
The scenery in the autumn is different, and the geese in Hengyang go without noticing. The sound of the four sides is even horned, and in the thousand mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed.
A glass of turbid wine is a thousand miles away, and Yan Ran has not returned to the house. Qiangguan was full of frost, people did not sleep, and the general's white hair was in tears.
Fan Zhongyun has been in the border pass for nearly four years, has a real life experience at the border, and has been in contact with the soldiers and people on the border for a long time, so when we read this poem, we can feel that Fan Zhongyun integrated his own sense of truth when writing this word, the whole word is somber and majestic, passionate, and the heroism of defending the country on the border is vividly expressed, and it also reflects the hardships of the living and fighting environment of the soldiers on the border and the emotions of their missing relatives.
The upper piece of the word writes the scenery outside the plug. The author writes from a large place and outlines a picture of the scenery outside the plug through "the scenery of the autumn is different". "Tucked down" explains the location, "Autumn Coming" points out the time, and "different" is even more meaningful and extremely exquisite. It not only dominates the following, writing out the difference between the scenery under the plug and the Jiangnan - Xiao Suo, desolate and magnificent, but also makes us faintly feel that a homesick heart is beating, and cleverly paves the way for the next film to express homesickness.
"Hengyang geese go without paying attention", Gui Hong flew south, the long sky drum wings, without any intention of staying. "The four sides of the sound of the horns", Hu Di interacted, the horses roared, and the military trumpets sounded everywhere. "In a thousand hills, the lonely city is closed by long smoke and sunset", countless peaks stand like a barrier, the sun sinks to the west, the smoke is filled, and a lonely city is closed. "Different" exists in the comparison, through the author's comparison with the scenery of his hometown, through the author's unique feelings about the scenery outside the plug, we can appreciate the author's mood, and at the same time, the homesickness of the whole film also comes out.
The next piece of the word turns lyrical. He expressed his determination to resist foreign troubles, make meritorious achievements, and his deep thoughts about his relatives in his hometown. The opening sentence contrasts with "one cup" and "ten thousand miles", which tells the heavy nostalgia of the cup of wine that is difficult to sell. The second sentence uses allusions to show that the war was not won, and the plan to return to the homeland cannot be discussed, but to achieve victory, it is not easy to talk about the unfavorable military situation of the Song Dynasty.
"Qiangguan yo-yo frost on the ground" to write the night scene on the film. In the middle of the night, there was the sound of a sad and desolate qiang flute, and the earth was covered with cold frost. On such a miserable and cold night, full of patriotic passion and strong nostalgia, the tide of thought of the lyricist rolls over, how can it fall asleep, naturally leading to "people do not sleep." The concluding sentence is from oneself and others, and the whole word is always collected, which expresses the common sentiments of the general and the recruiters: not only hope to achieve a great victory, but because the war situation has not progressed for a long time, it is inevitable that there are complex and contradictory emotions of missing their hometown and worrying about their relatives. Sorrow is more embarrassing, and emotion is more miserable.
Fan Zhongyan's "Fisherman's Pride" is sad and majestic, and has always been highly evaluated, Mr. Liu Yongji once said: "Although the purpose of the word is majestic, it is desolate." According to legend, Ouyang Xiu saw Fan's words and jokingly called them 'Poor Lord'. "China's feudal dynasty is an ancient hierarchical society, many border poets in the poetry, focusing on the border scenery and their own emotions, and ignoring the soldiers and the people, Fan Zhongyan is different, he is always concerned about the border soldiers and the people, extremely valuable.
