Life One life, one autumn for grass and trees

Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyal heart will illuminate history

Everyone has one life, which may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather

Fame and fortune, what the hell. If you don't bring it in life, you won't take it with you in death

Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven

Facing death, I laughed loudly, and the devil's palace was shaken by my laughter!

Don’t be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must remain innocent in this world!

After death, I know that everything is in vain, but I am sad that I will not see the same people in Jiuzhou.

I have to fight for the blood of a hundred thousand heads to restore the power of heaven and earth.

Live in sorrow, die in happiness.

Live as a hero, and die as a ghost.

Live generously in Yan City, calmly serve as a prisoner of Chu, use the sword to achieve success, and live up to your youth!

The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!

Lord Grim is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains. Why return the body wrapped in horse leather?

I don’t know how old I am, and wealth is like a floating cloud to me.

But if you feel that there are ghosts and gods while singing loudly, how can you imagine that you will starve to death and fill the ravines?

He died before he left the army, which made the hero burst into tears!

Here we go to Huangquan to recruit old troops, and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners

Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win the reputation before and after life

If a person dies but nods to the ground, his head falls off, leaving a scar as big as a bowl!

Eighteen years later, he is a good man again!

Many things in ancient and modern times are all discussed in a joke

The broad agreement between life and death is said to Zicheng . Hold your son's hand and grow old together with him

If you are less than a hundred years old, you will always worry about a thousand years old."

2. Ancient poems about life and death

Summer Quatrains Li Qingzhao Live as a hero, and die as a ghost.

I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong [Notes] 1. Renjie: A hero among men. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty once praised the founding heroes Zhang Liang, Xiao He and Han Xin as "outstanding people".

2. Ghost hero: The hero among ghosts. Qu Yuan's "National Memorial": "The body is dead and the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and is a ghost hero."

3. Xiang Yu (232 BC-202 BC): a native of the late Qin Dynasty (now Suqian, Jiangsu Province) . He once led the rebel army to eliminate the main force of the Qin army and established himself as the overlord of Western Chu.

Later he was defeated by Liu Bang, broke through to Wujiang (in today's He County, Anhui), and committed suicide. [Modern Translation] Those who live should be regarded as heroes among men, and those who die should also be regarded as heroes among ghosts.

People still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to return to Jiangdong secretly. [Explanation] This poem has a high-pitched tone and clearly puts forward the value orientation of life: when alive, one must be a hero among men and make contributions to the country; when one dies, one must sacrifice for the country and become a hero among ghosts.

The patriotic passion was beyond words and was indeed inspiring at the time. However, the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty did not care about the life or death of the people, and only focused on escaping for their own lives; they abandoned the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, just to survive.

Therefore, the poet thought of Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu broke through the siege and reached Wujiang River. The chief of the Wujiang Pavilion advised him to cross the river quickly and return to the east of the Yangtze River to reunite.

Xiang Yu himself felt that he had no face to see Jiangdong's elders, so he turned around and fought hard, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers and then committed suicide. The poet criticized the shameless behavior of those in power in the Southern Song Dynasty, and used the past to satirize the present, which is righteous and awe-inspiring.

There are only twenty words in the whole poem, and three allusions are used in succession, but there is no disadvantage of stacking them up, because these are all the poet's inner voice. Such a generous, powerful and powerful poem written by a woman is really overwhelming to men.

Crossing the Lingding Ocean. After a hard encounter, only a few stars fell in the fight. The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters and the catkins float, and the life experience is ups and downs.

Afraid to say panic on the beach, sigh alone in the ocean. Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.

Today’s translation I recall the hardships I experienced in my early years when I entered the imperial examination and became an official. Now it has been four weeks since the war ended. The country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind, and an individual is like duckweed in a sudden rain.

The disastrous defeat in Panpantan makes me still terrified. Being trapped in Yuanlu in Lingxiayang makes me feel lonely and lonely. Since ancient times, no one has been able to live forever. I want to leave a piece of patriotic loyalty to reflect history.

About the author Wen Tianxiang (1236-1283), a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was given the courtesy name Lushan, also given the courtesy name Songrui, and his nickname was Wenshan. He was a native of Luling (now Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province).

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he fought against the enemy with all his strength, was defeated and captured, but never succumbed to the coercion and inducement of the Yuan people, and finally died calmly. His later poems mainly described the difficult journey of fighting against the Yuan soldiers, expressing the steadfast national integrity, being generous and tragic, and deeply touching.

Notes ①Lingdingyang: at the Pearl River Estuary south of Zhongshan, Guangdong today. Wen Tianxiang was captured by the Yuan army in December of the first year of Xiangxing's reign (1278), the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing. Commander Zhang Shijie.

So Wen Tianxiang wrote this poem. ② "Hard work" sentence: recalls the early life and various hardships since becoming an official.

Encountered, encountered the imperial selection; Qiyijing, refers to someone who passed the imperial examination and got an official position due to proficiency in a certain scripture. Wen Tianxiang became the first Jinshi in the fourth year of Emperor Lizong Baoyou's reign (1256) in the Song Dynasty.

③Gange Liaoluo: Liaoluo means deserted and sparse. This means that the war between the Song and Yuan Dynasties is coming to an end.

The Southern Song Dynasty died this year (1279) and was unable to resist at this time. Zhou Xing: The Zhou star is the Sui star. The Sui star circulates in the sky for twelve years, so the Zhou star refers to the twelve years.

The four stars are forty-eight years. Wen Tianxiang was forty-four when he wrote this poem. The four stars here are in whole numbers. Most of the old annotations refer to the four years since Wen Tianxiang responded to the imperial edict of King Qin in 1275. In fact, the first two sentences of this poem should be understood together, as they are the poet's review of his life experiences.

④ "Mountain and River" sentence: It means that the national situation and personal destiny are irreversible. ⑤ Panic Beach: In today's Wan'an County, Jiangxi Province, the water flow is rapid and it is one of the eighteen beaches in the Ganjiang River.

In the second year of Jingyan (1277) of Emperor Ruizong of the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang was defeated in Kongqian, Jiangxi Province, and retreated to Fujian via the panic beach. ⑥ "Ling Ding" sentence: Lamenting the current situation and one's own bravery and isolation.

After the poet was captured, he was imprisoned in a warship in Lingding Ocean. ⑦History: Annals of History.

Before the invention of paper, bamboo slips were used to record events. When making bamboo slips, they must be roasted with fire to remove the sweat (moisture) from the bamboo, so it is called history.

Appreciation This poem was written by Wen Tianxiang after he was captured to fight to the death to clarify his ambition. In one or two sentences, the poet looks back on his life, but due to space limitations, the writing method is to cite two events, one as official and one as defeat in the army, to summarize the rest.

The middle four sentences closely follow "There are only a few battles" and clearly express the author's understanding of the current situation: the country is in a precarious situation, the tragedy of national subjugation is inevitable, and personal destiny is even more difficult to talk about. But in the face of this great change, what the poet thought of was not his personal way out and future, but his deep regret that he failed to achieve military victory in Konghang two years ago and thus reverse the situation.

At the same time, I also feel particularly sad about my isolation and helplessness. From the lines, it is not difficult for us to feel the author's desolate mood intertwined with the great pain of the destruction of his country and his family, self-blame, and self-lament.

The last two sentences are the unhesitating choice of the poet who is trapped in the enemy's hands about his own destiny. This adds a tragic and passionate strength and confidence to the previous emotions and regrets, showing a unique sublime beauty.

This is not only a reflection of the poet's personality charm, but also the unique spiritual beauty of the Chinese nation. Its touching qualities go far beyond the scope of language.

4. Poems that ask for the ancients’ insights on life and death

Life is a lifetime, vegetation is an autumn. Since ancient times, no one has died, and the sincerity is reflected in history. Human beings have one death, which may be more important than Mount Tai may be as light as a feather, fame and fortune, what a thing.

If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven. Facing death, I laughed loudly, and the devil’s palace was shaken by my laughter! Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must keep your innocence in this world!

5. Looking for an ancient Chinese poem or ancient text about the topic of life and death, or a sentence that can highlight this

Zhuangzi is a Taoist thought, and the Taoist concept of life and death is "I don't know how to say it" Life, not knowing how to hate death", while the Confucian concept of life and death is "killing life to gain righteousness".

Zhuangzi said: "The ancient true man did not know how to talk about life, nor did he know how to hate death. He was not happy when he came out, and he was not far away from others. He went there and came back. He did not forget where he started, and he did not forget where he started. Seeking the end, accepting it and rejoicing in it, this is what is called not harming the Tao with one's heart, and not using people to help Heaven."

The real people in ancient times did not know how to like life. , and don’t know the fear of death. He does not rejoice when he is born, and he does not refuse when he dies. Come freely and leave freely. He will not forget where he came from, nor will he pursue where he is going. Accept things with joy, forget about life and death, and return to nature.

Zhuangzi also said: "If this is the case, his mind will be forgotten and his face will be calm", "Happiness and anger are present in the four seasons, and things are appropriate but do not know their extremes." These real people are those who look calm and indifferent, who can forget everything in their hearts, whose temperament of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy can communicate with the four seasons, and can deal with anything in life calmly.

Zhuangzi expressed his attitude towards death with the help of real people, that is, firstly, he is afraid of death, and secondly, he will never seek death.

Confucianism teaches that people with lofty ideals can "kill for justice" and can sacrifice their own lives to uphold a great principle.

In the long history of life, Confucianism and Taoism show two different attitudes. The Confucian attitude is that of a martyr, and the Taoist attitude is that of a noble scholar; the Confucian attitude is to compete with time and grab the limited time to build, while the Taoist attitude is to adapt to the flow of time, to grasp every minute and every second, to enjoy life. . These two outlooks on life ultimately lead to the same goal, which is to gain value for life. However, value judgments in life are never the same.

Some people place more emphasis on being famous in history and making contributions to society. They have to pay the price with their personal lives and establish a kind of social merit. There are also people who pay more attention to their own inner perfection, settlement and moral perfection.

If it is the former, he will be more unwilling to accept life, while the latter will be more indifferent. In fact, this is the different attitudes that Confucianism and Taoism show when they affect our hearts in the same time we have.

In fact, Chinese people often show two different attitudes towards life and death, one is represented by Qu Yuan, and the other is represented by Sima Qian.

During the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan, as a nobleman with the same surname as the King of Chu, and as a scholar-official, when the Chu State was attacked and Yingdu was conquered, and when Qin General Bai Qi massacred Yingdu, even though a A man is living abroad. Although he still has many countries to go to, he knows that his ancestral temple and his country are in doom. The best end of his life is to go back with all this.

Qu Yuan’s death was a kind of sacrifice for his country and a kind of helplessness. In the words of Mr. Guo Moruo, he was torn apart between his beautiful ideals and the reality that he could not realize his ideals. Therefore, such a person must adopt such a tragic and decisive way to deal with life.

Sima Qian wrote a famous letter to his good friend Ren An, called "Report to Ren An", which completely expresses his attitude towards life and death. In the letter, Sima Qian reviewed the entire process of his imprisonment and torture. He said that he was very unjustly accused and was framed on a trumped-up charge. No one in the civil or military court came to save him. In this case, he can of course choose death to maintain his dignity.

But, he didn't. He accepted the most intolerable humiliation for a man: torture, that is, having his genitals mutilated. Because he has a mission that he has yet to complete, that is, he also wants to study the relationship between heaven and man, understand the changes in ancient and modern times, and form a "Historical Records" written by a family.

When his father Sima Tan entrusted him with the great task of being such a historian, he told him that Confucius was born five hundred years after the death of Duke Zhou. Five hundred years after Confucius’ death, there is no People can "show the Ming Dynasty" and "continue the Spring and Autumn Period" to record such an era and pass on history. Therefore, before Sima Tan died, he gave Sima Qian the important task of compiling "Historical Records". Therefore, Sima Qian said that when faced with the mission entrusted to him by history for five hundred years, his own attitude was "How dare you give in?" Heaven will give great responsibilities to the people of this country. If there is such a big thing, then they would rather be humiliated than commit suicide. This is the attitude of Sima Qian.

6. Poems about life and death in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad

Medieval times: Sacrificing one’s life to go to national disaster, seeing death as a sudden return.

Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.

Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.

Zhongjin: During the day, my coffins floating on the river were pieced together into the current bridge or wedding boat.

My bones are the remaining roof of humanity on the water. ——Haizi

External Jin: Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life. ——Haruki Murakami

Waigu: Death is sleep, it is nothing more than that!

If one sleep can end the pain of the soul and the suffering of the body,

then, this outcome is to be expected!

Die, sleep.

But in sleep there may be dreams, ah, that's the hindrance:

When we are freed from this dying skin,

In the sleep of death What dreams will come?

It makes us hesitate,

makes us willing to endure long-term disasters,

Otherwise, who would tolerate all kinds of torture in the world,

< p> Such as the government of a tyrant, the pride of the proud, the pain of broken love, the slowness of laws, the insult of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of mediocre people,

What if he could simply end it with a single blow?

Who else would be willing to work as a cow or horse, tired of toil all their life,

silently endure the hardships, and not fly far away, drifting in the vague realm,

p>

What if he wasn't hesitant because of fear of what would happen after him?

This is a country that no one knows about, and has never returned since ancient times.

——Shakespeare
