Li Qingzhao, as one of the few female lyricists in ancient times, left a lot of works, and later Xin abandoned the disease and called the word world. Most of her works belong to the gentle school, and a very few are the works of the extravagant school, and in the early days, she wrote more about women's boudoirs, and in the later period, she wrote about the desolate situation, and the style of words was very different. Aside from her words, her poems are also very stylish, such as her "Summer Sentences" was written when passing through the Guwu River.
This poem is just 20 words long, portraying Xiang Yu's heroic image to the fullest, and this poem is also the dividing line between Li Qingzhao's word style changes before and after. It was also the turning point from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, before, the Jurchens rose between the white mountains and black waters, rapidly expanded, and after the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, they went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Second Emperor of Huihui qin, and all the land north of the Yellow River of the Song Dynasty was lost, and a large number of court female relatives were captured by the Jin people and became slaves, and they were bullied arbitrarily, because it occurred during the Jing kang years of Emperor Qinzong, which was the shame of Jing Kang.
Because of the chaos of the war, in order to avoid the poisonous hands of the Jin people, a second southern crossing occurred, and king Zhao Zhao of Kang took the throne thirty-six times as a plan, running all the way south, under his influence, a large number of scholars, bureaucrats, and ordinary people all flocked to the south, and Li Qingzhao and his husband Zhao Mingcheng were also one of the people who crossed the south this time.
After the southern crossing, Zhao Mingcheng became the prefect of Jiangning, and later, there was a mutiny in Jiangning, Zhao Mingcheng rebelled against the city and fled, Li Qingzhao followed, just passing through the ancient Wujiang section, so he had the feeling to write down this last sentence. The finishing touch of this sentence lies in the last sentence, refusing to cross Jiangdong!
That is to say, the reason why Li Qingzhao believes that he was born as a master and died as a ghost male is that he refuses to cross Jiangdong. She compared herself to reality and remembered the ancients, and the reality in front of her was that her husband abandoned the city and fled for his life, and the imperial court ran all the way south, regardless of whether the people were dead or alive, nor did they care about the destruction of the country and the death of the family. In the face of the shattering of mountains and rivers and the displacement of the people, those in power only blindly flee for their lives and do not think about turning the tide of the war.
And Xiang Yu, after leading eight thousand Jiangdong disciples to break through Qin, now there are only a dozen people around, almost becoming a lonely family, facing the homeland across the river, feeling ashamed and guilty, and finally killing himself. In stark contrast to the kings of the Southern Song Dynasty, the defenders of the land either abandoned the city or surrendered, or swept away all the way south, and what is usually said about the home country and the world is nonsense.
As the saying goes, knowing shame is almost courageous, and it is precisely because of shame that Xiang Yu kills himself, even if he does not think that he has any faults. But the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty did not know what shame was at all, except to flee for their lives. What Li Qingzhao praised here is Xiang Yu's sense of shame, so he is a masterpiece. The reason why Xiang Yu knows shame, and not otherwise, there is an idiom allusion:
"Hanshu Xiangbi Biography": "So Han Sheng said yu yue: "Guanzhong obstructs mountains and rivers, the land of the four plugs, fertile, but all are Yibo." Yumi qin palace room has been burned down, and then think of the east return, said: "Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, like clothes and brocade night travel." Han Sheng said, "People call Chu people mu monkeys and crowns, sure enough." "Yu Wenzhi. Chop Han Sheng.
After Xiang Yu broke the Qin Dynasty, a man named Han Sheng (or he was a Scholar of the Korean surname Han, known as Han Sheng) advised him to set the capital in Guanzhong, and as a result, Xiang Yu said that the rich and noble did not return to their hometown, just like the night of the clothes! This shows that Xiang Yu likes to go to his hometown when he is rich and prosperous, of course, to show off, and his reluctance to cross Jiangdong when he is down must be because of shame!
Therefore, Crooked History believes that Xiang Yu did not want to cross Jiangdong precisely because of shame, and Li Qingzhao also made this poem because he admired Xiang Yu's shameful heart, and satirized that the people in power at that time did not have the shame after death!
