Qi Jiguang was the most famous anti-Wu general of the Ming Dynasty, and it was precisely because of his hard resistance at that time that he finally defeated the Japanese who came to invade and ensured the safety of the coastal area at that time. Although the Ming Dynasty seemed to be very powerful, in the middle and late period, the entire empire also began to falter, and the emperors at that time were even more strange, such as the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao, who was killed by his uncle; and the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was kidnapped; of course, it had to be mentioned that there was the Jiajing Emperor who loved alchemy; and the Ming Xi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who loved to do carpentry; it was also the appearance of these emperors one by one, which also led to a relatively sharp social contradiction, and there were countless Wukou invasions along the coast.
Then Qi Jiguang, as a famous general of the generation at that time, began to resist the Wukou with the support of Zhang Juzheng, and finally relied on his talent and the brave soldiers at that time to repulse the Wukou, thus ensuring the peace of the side. Therefore, Qi Jiguang is also known as a national hero, and the Qi family army created by him has become the most capable army of the Ming Dynasty. Then Qi Jiguang in addition to fighting bravery, he also has a very high achievement in literature, which he and Yue Fei are more similar, especially in poetry, but also show outstanding talent, such as his "Immediate Work", that is a touching and beautiful poem, the whole poem is to express his noble character, as well as lofty life aspirations.
"Do It Now"
Ming Dynasty: Qi Jiguang
The north and south rush to report the main situation, and the river lace grass laughs peacefully.
Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are crossed.
Qi Jiguang also expressed the difficulties of his own war march, the whole poem was written on horseback, which also showed that he was full of a great anger at that time, so in this poem, it was also written extremely sad, although it was only four short sentences, a total of twenty-eight words, but it was sad to read, so such a poignant work, it is also not to be missed. As a posterity reading such works, I can also best appreciate Qi Jiguang's patriotic enthusiasm.
"The north and south drive to report the main situation, and the river lace grass laughs peacefully." In the opening two sentences of this chapter, the poet directly stated his position, as well as a sense of gratitude, after all, living in the feudal era of ancient times, if a person wants to make meritorious achievements, he naturally wants to be appreciated by the emperor, and only in this way will he have the opportunity to achieve a great cause; then these two poems are also extremely easy to understand, I am now turning to the north and south, nothing more than a patriotic enthusiasm, and to repay the emperor for my knowledge and gratitude, and I am so rushing, the flowers and plants in the north and south of the Jiangnan River and the border plug, That will laugh at the rush and hard work of my life.
"Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are crossed." Think of the one hundred and thirty-six days of your life, each of which you spend on horseback, carrying weapons to fight the enemy. The last two sentences are extremely sad to describe, and it is even more poignant to read. It is precisely because of his bravery to lead the soldiers to fight, and finally maintained the tranquility of the Ming Dynasty at that time, as a general, Qi Jiguang is undoubtedly extremely outstanding, and as a poet he is equally remarkable, this poem seems to be very concise, not much poetry, but it is also very touching.
Qi Jiguang's literary style is naturally incomparable with those first-class great poets, but his "Immediate Work" is extremely affectionately described, and it expresses a noble character, and the whole poem is also written with great grandeur, especially the last two sentences, which portray the image of a general who has been away for many years, and also makes this poem a great masterpiece.
