[1] This is a poem written in Xin Qiji's frustrated and idle life. The exact time is unknown. Broken array: Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was the name of Jiao Fang, which was later used as a tune. Chen Tongfu: Chen Liang (1143-1194), also known as Mr. Longchuan, is a good friend of Xin Qiji. [2] dream back: wake up from a dream. The meaning of this sentence is that the dream army blew the horn and ordered soldiers. After waking up, you can still hear the sound of the horn. [3] Eight hundred Li: the name of the cow. According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Wang Jinkai has a cow named Ba (bó), which is very precious. Ji Wang and Wang Kai shot the cow, and Ji Wang shot it. "When you are angry, you can quickly find the heart of the cow and leave at once." Later generations called the cow 800 Li, which means heroism. For example, Su Shi's "Sun Yuegong is a strong wind" said that "eight hundred miles is for the public, and its heroism makes Confucianism sour." Points: share. Under the command (Hu ash): Subordinate. Grill: barbecue. This sentence also means that you can get a barbecue reward within 800 miles. [4] Fifty strings: refers to the fifty strings of ancient musical instruments, generally referring to military musical instruments. Turn: play. Magnificent and tragic music with frontier fortress as the theme. [5] Battlefield: Battlefield. Point soldier: review the army. [6] make: for example, for example. Drew: A fierce fast horse. Legend has it that Liu Bei was killed in Jingzhou, and the deer and horse he rode jumped three feet and got out of danger. [7] Thunderbolt: It is a metaphor for the violent bowstring sound in archery. [8] What's going on in the world refers to the restoration of the Central Plains and the completion of the great cause of reunification. [9] Unfortunately: Alas.
point out
When Xin Qiji was in his twenties, he joined the rebellion led by Geng Jing in the north against the rule of the Jin people. However, after his "political reform" in the south, he could not be reused, so he had to express his enthusiasm through creation.
The first sentence of this word outlines the image of a poet whose ambition has not been realized in six words: in the dead of night, his thoughts are tumbling and he can't sleep, so he has to drink alone, but the paralysis of alcohol has not calmed his mood, and he still wants to "see the sword by the light." The action of "watching the sword" shows that he is frustrated, but his ideal has not disappeared. The next eight sentences about writing dreams are not only remembering the past, but also expressing ideals, breaking the usual practice of ordinary poets to sketch their thoughts and expressing the lofty sentiments of strong men incisively and vividly. The last sentence, "Poor white hair is born", suddenly turns back to reality, and pride falls into a sigh and is swallowed up, echoing the drowning in the first sentence. The layout of the idea is self-contained, with a majestic and gloomy style. Although the space is short, it is very expressive.
One of Xin Gong's most famous ci poems (some versions are "send" and some versions are "send". )。 Xin Youan's life's duty is to resist national rejuvenation. However, in the political affairs dominated by capitulationists, he was restrained by political enemies and was suspected for no reason. When there was a sharp contradiction between his ideal and reality, he just expressed his ideal of killing the enemy and serving the country in the form of a drunken dream, and really responded to his friend Lu You's sentence "If you want to die and serve the country, there is no battlefield"! Sad! Singong! The writing of this word is very unique. The first nine sentences in one go vividly depict the image of a loyal general and show the poet's great ambition and life value orientation. The last sentence came to an abrupt end and suddenly made a 540-degree turn, completely denying the ideals of the first nine sentences! The more hearty the previous writing, the more disappointed the last five words are. The intensive military image group and the continuous magnificent aesthetic realm in Ci can better reflect the individual characteristics of Xin Ci, and also reflect another great change in the history of Ci in Song Dynasty, that is, the agitation of masculinity. The feminine beauty in Ci finally gave way to the vigorous beauty and lofty beauty of bloody men. Chen Tingzhuo's Notes on Yun Shao Ji: "Every word jumps out, and the word' battlefield' begins with the sound of autumn and lasts forever." A collection of lyrics and songs: "I am grateful, and my heart is eternal." However, loyalty loves sorrow, and Su is better than Xin; Jia Xuan, dripping with tragic, frustrated and depressed, will travel through the ages alone. Jia Xuan's words are magnificent, resounding, shocking and magnificent. "There is a further comment in Xin Qiji's New Interpretation of Ci: Xin Qiji's bold and unconstrained ci style is a' compound' style with both bold and depressed emotional characteristics. The two-way lyric characteristics of Xin Ci are unrestrained and restrained, which leads to its strong lyric effect of grief, anger, depression, gratitude and even sadness, which is the difference between Xin Ci and Su Shi's ci style. Su Shi's view of ci style is characterized by natural boldness, abstinence and a little "fairy spirit" nourished by reasonable interest; However, Xin Qiji's ci style is mainly characterized by sad and gloomy feelings, desolation, and more pride and domineering. The difference between him and Su Shi is the difference between the words of heroes and the words of literati. "
Creative experience: There are different opinions about the time and place of the creation of this word. By comparing several opinions, I think Shao Xi's fourth year (1 193) is the most likely, and Chen Liang was promoted to the first scholar after he was released from prison in, and Xin Zhiming did it for him during his stay in Fujian (he was sentenced in Fujian the year before last), at least in 15. The word is full of excitement, and it is in a drunken dream. It must be cursive! Pay attention to the difference between the first "Li" (used here) and the second "Li"! But to my surprise, I don't have many traditional cursive "Li" on hand! I got it after I finished writing it with the mouse, but it really didn't satisfy me. Finally, I found a calligraphy work with this word on the Internet and dug it up. There are two traditional ways to write "sword", and I chose one. In addition, I am afraid that few people have noticed that the word "string" is different in traditional Chinese characters. The former should be written as "string" (the "string" next to the lasso), while the latter is usually the same as the simplified word when it comes to bowstring. Although the word "Fan" has the words "true" and "Fan" in Kingsoft, it is not in the modern Chinese dictionary and is not written in many traditional versions, so the word "Fan" is the same as the simplified version now. The final "sheng" chose the writing method of strokes, which reflected the rich charm. The word "yes" has been modified by the transformation path, making the last stroke longer, bigger and more imposing. Some of the words "Fa", "Hou" and "Shua" were invented by ourselves, and some were modified by hollow words. On the whole, three pictures are used from the top right to the bottom left, which are basically on a diagonal line. The picture in the upper right corner is the online picture collected in the past. Obviously, it was born for this word. The big picture in the middle is Yue Fei, painted by Mr. Dai Dunbang. Although it's not Xin Qiji, I think it's very suitable to use it here, because they have similar aspirations, with a difference of decades, and their costumes haven't changed much. Moreover, the horse and bow in the picture are very apt to the word, and I like it very much, so I adopted the picture here. In order to express the emptiness of the dreamland, it is translucent and fuzzy. The photo in the lower left corner was taken by me from Jiaxuan Temple in Daming Lake Park, Jinan. The sculpture itself is actually dark green, which is not easy to identify when it is displayed normally. If it's a silhouette, it's even harder to recognize. Here, it is simply treated as brown, so that it is in the backlight, and the front of the book is faintly visible, similar to the silhouette effect near the head. The word "white occurrence" looks a little pale under the aura, which is exactly what I hope. Between the lines, Xin Gong's extreme grief and indignation are expressed, and the last picture is reduced to a corner and visually condensed into a point, which is even more desolate against the backdrop of the oval halo behind him! Some friends think that three paintings are a bit too much. If it only represents one theme, it may be a bit messy. However, it is much more reasonable to imagine the transformation of space from right to left with the passage of time (similar to the method of scattered point perspective), and the two sides are real and the middle is imaginary, and the effect is also good by emphasizing the contrast between reality and dreams. The position between words and pictures is also elegant. Let's take a closer look.
The author of this poem wrote his dream of serving the country with romantic brushstrokes, especially the first sentence, which left endless heroic spirit for future generations and reverberated. There are two versions of the word "800 Li": one is that 800 Li refers to the name of the cow, and in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, there is a saying that "Wang Junfu has a cow whose name is 800 Li (Majiao)"; Another way of saying it refers to the regional scale of Geng Jing's anti-Jin uprising at that time.

His life was spent under the repression of treacherous court officials and in the grief and indignation of serving the country. During his tenure, his anti-money proposal was not adopted and was hit by the peace faction. I have left my post for a long time and lived in Shangrao and Lead Mountain in Jiangxi. In his later years, when Han Biaozhou was in power, he was once used, but he died soon. His lyrics try to restore the patriotic enthusiasm of national reunification, pour out the grief and indignation of hard-to-pay ambitions, and expose and criticize the humiliating surrender of the upper ruling group in the Southern Song Dynasty. In his words, we can read sentences like "unfulfilled ambition" everywhere, and we have to "pat the railing" and "the hero cries".
