Ten thousand sentences per sentence: This poem has only two sentences, but it tells a story that is longer than 20,000 sentences! He was originally a prodigal son of the jianghu, and he recited two poems when he was parting from life and death, but he became an irreparable song!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >1/Easy Water Lament</h1>
A few years ago, Liu Zhenyun, a famous writer from Henan, published a sought after novel called "One Sentence top 10,000 Sentences", which was called the Chinese version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude". However, Lao Huang was too lazy to read it. However, "one sentence is 10,000 sentences" was familiar to everyone in the 1960s and 1970s.
In fact, in reality, there is no myth of "ten thousand sentences in one sentence", and even the emperor's golden words do not have such power. If there is, we can only look for it in literary works, for example, the short poem that Lao Huang wants to introduce to you today, although it only has two sentences, it can deduce more than 20,000 sentences of stories.
This poem is the well-known "Yi Shui Song", written by the famous assassin Jing Ke during the Warring States period, which was composed when he left The Prince of Yan dan to xianyang to assassinate the King of Qin before he had Yi Shui parted. Jing Ke's "Song of Easy Water", its poem has only two sentences:
The wind is cold and the water is cold,
Once the hero is gone, he will not return.
This poem is only two sentences, at first glance, easy to understand, straightforward as words; carefully tasted, but the meaning is deep, righteous, and quite artistic. The whole poem imitates the technique of "Xing" in the Book of Poetry, "pre-empting other things to cause the words of the chant", first of all, the west wind is easy to rise, and then leads to the heroic feelings of the warrior, which is quite imposing.
The first sentence of the poem describes the autumn wind and the cold water, and writes about the sadness of heaven and earth, rendering the desolate and tragic atmosphere of slaughter, and infiltrating the singer's surging feelings. The last sentence praises the protagonist's dedication to righteousness, righteousness, and determination to die in the tiger's den.
Although this "Song of Easy Water" by Prince Dan of Yan is only two short sentences, its tragic and magnificent feelings can pass through the thousands of rivers and mountains of history, which is not only a magnificent song, but also a trick to say goodbye, inspiring generations of heroic sons and daughters who have pledged their lives to the country.
It is this short two-sentence poem that fixes a heroic lament of The Qin Dynasty and provides the fullest emotional tone for the creation of later generations of literati. The story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin has been recited by the world since the day he died generously, and it has been 2248 years. During this period, ancient and modern literary and art workers created a large number of stories about Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, including commentaries, novels, dramas, films and television... Zero and zero total, no less than ten million words.

The story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin took place in 227 BC, less than 7 years after the Qin King's reign and qin unified the Six Kingdoms. As early as 3 years before Jing Ke decided to assassinate Qin, The King of Qin, Yingzheng, began the war to annex the world. Since 230 BC, the Qin king Yingzheng has successively attacked Han, Wei, and Chu, and the Yan state is in danger. In 228 BC, the Qin general Wang Qi attacked Handan, the capital of the Neighboring State of Zhao in Yan, and King Qian of Zhao was captured and sent to the mountains deep in Fangling. According to the Qin army, the next stop is the Yan kingdom in the north of Yishui. Prince Dan of Yan was very scared, so he asked Jing Ke for advice.
Jing Ke was originally a descendant of the Qi Guoqing clan, and later moved to Weiguo and changed his surname to Jing. Jing Ke loved to read and fencing, and used his swordsmanship to persuade Wei Yuanjun, but Wei Yuanjun did not appoint him, and Jing Ke left the Yan Kingdom. After Jing Ke arrived in the Yan Kingdom, he befriended Gao, who was good at building, and became a confidant. Zhu is an ancient Chinese Han stringed instrument, shaped like a qin, 5 strings in the pre-Qin period, and later developed into 13 strings. There are columns under the strings. When playing, the left hand presses one end of the string, and the right hand holds the bamboo ruler to strike the string. Originating in Chudi, its voice was sad and agitated, and it was widely spread in the pre-Qin period. Gao Fade is a highly skilled folk musician.
Jing Ke was a good wine, and every day he and Gao gradually left to drink in Yan City, and after drinking as if they were not drunk, Gao gradually left the building, and Jing Ke sang in the street market with beats; after a while, they cried to each other as if no one was around. For a time, the people of Yan Guo knew about these two crazy people. Tian Guang, the hermit of the Yan Kingdom, understood that Jing Ke was not an ordinary person and had deliberately come to befriend him.
Later, Tian Guang recommended Jing Ke to prince Dan of Yan, who was thirsty for talent. After becoming a protégé of Prince Dan of Yan, Jing Ke received a generous courtesy from Prince Dan of Yan.
Therefore, when Prince Dan of Yan asked About Jing Ke, in order to repay the favor of Prince Dan of Yan, he decided to go to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, to assassinate the Qin King, Qin Wang Yingzheng. In order to get close to the Qin emperor, Jing Ke asked Prince Dan of Yan for two things, one was the head of Xiang Shangren of the Qin general Fan Yu period, and the other was a map of the Governor of yan (涿县, Yi County, and Gu'an in Hebei).
The Qin general Wang Zhai broke through Zhao and captured the King of Zhao, took all his land, and marched into the north to reach the southern border of Yan. Prince Dan was afraid, but asked Jing Qing to know: "Qin Bing Dan crossed the water at dusk, although he wanted to serve for a long time, how could he get it?" Jing Qing said, "Prince Wei said that the subject wishes to be praised, but if he does not believe in this act, then Qin is not amiable." General Fu Jinfan, the King of Qin purchased thousands of pounds of gold, Yi Wanjia. Cheng can get the head of General Fan, and the map of Yan Dou Kang will be presented to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin will say that he will see his subjects, and the subjects will have to repay the prince. (Warring States Policy, Yan Ce III)
In 227 BC, Jing Ke took yan dou kang and Fan Yu to the first rank of the qin state to assassinate the Qin king Yingzheng. Before leaving, Prince Dan of Yan and others sent off Jing Ke at the edge of the Yi Water. Yishui was in present-day Yi County, Hebei Province, which was then the southern boundary of the Yan State. Prince Dan of Yan and his guests were dressed in white and wearing white hats to send off Jing Ke, and the send-off scene was very tragic. Jing Ke's good friend Gao Wanli was also in the send-off, he once again built for Jing Ke, Jing Ke and beat, sang the song "Easy Water Song" that is still touching to this day: "The wind is Xiao Xiao is easy to be cold, and the hero will not return once he is gone." ”
Jing Ke walked on the song and never looked back. After Jing Ke came to the Qin Kingdom, the King of Qin did summon him at the Xianyang Palace. When Jing Ke presented the map of Yan Dougang, Tu Qian dagger saw it, but in the end the assassination failed, and was killed by the Qin King's bodyguards, and Jing Ke was sacrificed.

Jing Ke has passed away, easy to flow for a long time, many are future generations of literati, every time they come here, they will think of the ancient hanging of the ghost. For example, when Yi Shui, one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty" of the Tang Dynasty, luo bin wang, when Yi Shui bid farewell to his friends, gave the poem "Yu Yi Shui Sends People" to Ming Zhi:
Here don't yan dan, strong men hair rush crown.
In the past, people were gone, and today the water is still cold.
Luo Binwang's "Yu Yishui Sends People" describes the author's feelings when Yi Shui bids farewell to his friends, borrowing the history of Yong to illustrate the present. The first two sentences write the place where the author bid farewell to his friends through the ancient events of Yong Huai Jing Ke, and the last two sentences are words that hurt the past and the present, expressing the author's feelings. The whole poem is cleverly conceived, the language is subtle, the meaning is far-reaching, the feelings are strong, and the tone is desolate.
Jing Ke bid farewell to Prince Dan here, and when the strong man went out on the expedition, he was furious and rushed to the crown.
The heroes of the past have gone to their deaths and slept for a long time, and today's Yi Shui is still cold.
Luo Binwang was 7 years old and could write poems, known as "prodigies", and it is said that the famous "Wing Goose": "Goose goose goose, song to the heavens." White hair floats green water, red palms pluck clear waves. "It was when he was 7 years old.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, King Luobin was a subordinate of Li Yuanqing, the King of Dao, and the King of Dao asked him to state his talents, but he was ashamed of himself and did not obey orders. Later, he was a scholar of Dongtai Shuzheng. He was degraded because of the incident, and went from the army to the western region and guarded the frontier for a long time. Later, he entered Shu and entered the staff of Li Yijun, the governor of Yaozhou Province, and the Wen Tan who quelled the barbarian rebellion was mostly by his hand.
In the third year of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (678), King Luo Bin entered the dynasty as a servant of the imperial history, and Wu Zetian was in power, and he repeatedly wrote satirically, touching Wu Zetian, and was soon imprisoned. Composed "Cicada in Prison" to express sorrow and indignation:
The cicadas of the West Land sing, and the South Crown guests think deeply.
Unable to bear the shadow of Xuan Sideburns, come and groan to the white head.
It is difficult to fly heavily, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.
No one believes in purity, who gives to the heart.
The poet borrows the song of the cicada's high moral conduct, with the cicada than xing, with the cicada to allegorize himself, with the love of things, with the long-term depth, the cicada people are integrated, expressing the poet's high character but "the emblem of the time" of the mourning and sad feelings, expressing the desire to distinguish the innocent and the injustice.
In the autumn of the first year (679) of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, King Luo Bin was finally pardoned and released from prison; in the winter of that year, he rushed to the area of Youyan and was sideways in the military curtain, determined to serve the country. The aforementioned poem "Yu Yishui Sends People" was probably written during this period. In the second year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (680), King Luo Bin served as the governor of Linhai County, and after Wu Zetian's reign, he abandoned the official You Guangling and wrote a poem Mingzhi: "The sword thinks of Chu, and the golden spine xu repays Han." This state of mind is a continuation of "Yu Yishui Sends People".
In the first year of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang's reign (684), Wu Zetian deposed Emperor Zhongzong, causing dissatisfaction among his subjects loyal to Li Tang. In September of that year, Xu Jingye (also known as Li Jingye, Li Ji's grandson) rebelled in Yangzhou. King Luo Bin was a subordinate of Xu Province, and was appointed as the Art and Literature Order, in charge of clerical secrets. He drafted "Seeking Wu Shuo for Xu Jingye".
In November of that year, Xu Jingye was defeated and killed, and the whereabouts of King Luo Bin were unknown. Some people say that he died in the rebel army, and others say that he escaped death and became a monk at the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. In order to prove that King Luo Bin had indeed escaped the military disaster, an anecdotes of continuing poems were also published on the poetry altar.
In the fourth year of Emperor Jinglong of Tang Dynasty (710), Song Zhiqing was demoted to the post of governor of Yue Prefecture and left Beijing for Vietnam. When passing through Hangzhou on the way, he visited the Lingyin Temple at night, touched the scenery, and whispered out "the color of the trees on the edge of the ridge contains wind and cold". Because this poem was obtained by accident, the following sentences are stuck. It is said that just when he was unable to continue, an old monk continued the next sentence for him, "The sound of the spring on the stone brings rain and autumn." As soon as Song Zhiqing heard the sigh, he knew that this person was extraordinary.
The two sentences were completed, and Song Zhiqing wanted to write a poem to commemorate this trip. However, after only thinking about the first two sentences, "Vulture Ridge is lush and rocky, and the Dragon Palace is locked and lonely", my thinking dried up. As a result, the old monk continued the following sentence in order to continue: "Louguan Canghai Day, the door listens to the Zhejiang tide." Suddenly, Song Zhiqing's inspiration flashed, and the text gushed like a spring, and that night it became the famous landscape article "Lingyin Temple":
Vulture Ridge is lush, and the Dragon Palace is lonely.
Louguan Canghai Day, the door to Zhejiang tide.
The moon of guizi sets in the middle of the moon, and the heavenly fragrance clouds drift outside.
The tower is far away, and the wood is far away.
Frost thin flowers are more hairy, ice light leaves are not withered.
The age of the dream is still different, and the search is annoying.
Stay on rooftop road and see the Yudu Stone Bridge.
After a night of tossing and turning, he woke up the next morning, and Song Zhiqing wanted to stay and worship the old monk as a teacher, and humbly asked for advice. Unexpectedly, he was no longer where to go. After inquiring, Fang knew that the monk was Luo Binwang, one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", who was defeated by the lingyin temple because of his military defeat.
Of course, people prefer to believe that this is just a legend, because if Luo BinWang can live to the age when Song Zhiqing wrote the Lingyin Temple, when he is an 84-year-old man, how can he suddenly see it coming and not? The meaning behind this story is nothing more than that people hope that "heroes will not die" and give Luo Binwang a good ending.
Because, among the literati of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Binwang was one of the most proud figures, and in order to protect the old lord of Li Tang, he did not hesitate to oppose Wu Zetian and go to Qin with Jing Ke's generosity, which was spiritually inherited. Therefore, the matter behind Luo Bin Wang will attract so much attention.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" >4/conclusion</h1>
"The wind is cold and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return once he is gone." Jing Ke's heroic act of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tigers and mountains" cannot be done without extraordinary courage and boldness. Therefore, although he sang the phrase "once the hero is gone, he will not return" and stopped abruptly, without repeating his words, he still made the sender "blind to the soldiers and send out the crown of the upper finger", which is really an irretrievable song for eternity.
However, some people felt that the "Yi Shui Song" with only two sentences was too thin, only half a self-poem, so they added two sentences: "Exploring the tiger's cave into the Jiao Palace, exhaling into a white rainbow in the sky." "The white rainbow in the poem, that is, the white rainbow that people often say runs through the day.
Baihong Guanri was first derived from sima qian's "History of Lu Zhonglian Zouyang Lie": "In the past, Jing Ke mu Yandan's righteousness, Baihong Guanri, prince feared it." "White rainbow through the sun later became a common idiom, meaning a long white rainbow passing through the sun, describing an abnormal phenomenon. The ancients thought that this mutated celestial phenomenon was a sign of the murder of the monarch on earth or the hero's sense of sincerity.
"Explore the tiger's cave and enter the Jiao Palace, and exhale into a white rainbow in the sky." It can be translated as assassinating the King of Qin is as dangerous as going to the Tiger's Den to the Dragon Palace, but our heroic hero's heroic spirit can even form a white rainbow when he exhales from the sky.
From a historical point of view, we should affirm the unity of Qin Shi Huang, but at the same time we must also affirm the spirit of Jing Ke, a hero and warrior who resisted violence, and he did not stab Qin for personal revenge, nor for Prince Dan personally, but for all the people who suffered from the disasters of war.
The Qin state has harmed the people in the process of reunification, and the people are in favor of reunification, but they do not necessarily approve of the brutal unification method of the Qin state, although Qin does not adopt the method of armed violence, but Jing Ke's actions are still just, and we should regard Jing Ke's assassination of Qin and Jing Ke as the price that the people must pay in the great cause of reunification.
