Wen Tianxiang's "Zhengqi Song" in Song Dynasty:

Heaven and earth are full of righteousness, but they are manifold. Below is the river yue, above is the sun star. People call it awe-inspiring, and it is overwhelming.

the imperial road should be used to clear the barbarians, and it should contain harmony and spit out the Ming court. When you are poor, you can see it, and you can see it one by one. In Qi Taishi Jane, in Jin Dong Hu Bi.

It's in Zhangliangzhui in Qin, and it's in the Han-Su-Wu Festival. Be the head of general Yan, and serve the blood of Ji. For Zhang Suiyang teeth, for Yan Changshan tongue.

Or Liaodong Hat and qing. Li Bingxue. Or for a model, ghosts and gods cry heroically. Or for crossing the river, generously swallow Hu Jie.

or to hit a thief, the reverse vertical head is broken. It is majestic by qi, which lasts forever. When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death are safe.

the earth dimension depends on it, and Tianzhu depends on it. The three cardinal principles are life, and morality is the root. To Li Yang Jiu, the official transfer is also ineffective.

Chu imprisoned him with his crown, and sent him to the poor north. A tripod is as sweet as a cup, and it is hard to get. There is a jack-o'-lantern in the dark room, and the spring courtyard is closed and dark.

the same soap for ox and horse, the phoenix for chicken. Once foggy, it is divided into ditch barren. If it's so cold and hot, it's easy to get rid of it.

it's sad to be in the field, to make my country happy. Is he clever? Yin and Yang can't be thieves. Take care of this and look up at the clouds.

my heart is sad, and the sky is extremely high. The philosopher's day is far away, and the punishment is in the past. Books are read on the eaves of the wind, and the ancient roads are colored.

Translation:

There is an upright spirit between heaven and earth, which endows everything with various shapes.

it is represented by mountains and rivers below, and it is represented by the sun, the moon and the stars above.

It is called the noble spirit in the world, which is full of heaven and earth and the whole world.

when the national movement is clear and peaceful, it presents a peaceful atmosphere and an enlightened court.

In times of adversity, just men will appear, and their glorious images will hang over Danqing.

There are Taishi bamboo slips in the state of Qi, and Dong Hu's pen in the state of Jin.

in the Qin dynasty, Zhang Liangzhui, who eliminated violence for the people, had a loyal Suwu Festival in the Han dynasty.

It also shows the head of General Yan, who would rather die than surrender, and the blood of the servant who fought to the death.

Zhang Zhiyang's teeth were broken when he swore to kill the enemy, and Yan Changshan's tongue was cut when he scolded the thief bravely.

Sometimes Guan Ning likes to wear a black hat to avoid chaos in Liaodong. His noble character is better than ice and snow.

Sometimes it is Zhuge Liang who wrote "A Model". His loyalty after his death makes ghosts and gods cry.

Sometimes, when Zu Ti crossed the river in the Northern Expedition, he made an impassioned and impassioned vow to devour Hu Jie.

Sometimes Duan Xiushi beats the traitor's head, and the traitor's head suddenly breaks.

this noble spirit fills the universe, and justice is inviolable and lasts forever.

when this righteousness goes straight to the sky and penetrates the sun and the moon, there is no need to talk about living or dying!

The earth stands on it, and Tianzhu is supported on it.

The Three Cardinals depend on it to maintain life, and morality depends on it to be fundamental.

It's a pity that I was in a national disaster, and I was really unable to go to Anguo to kill thieves.

Wearing royal clothes, he became a prisoner and was sent to the poor north by a post car.

if I am punished by the tripod, it is like drinking sugar water and dying for my country.

There was a little ghost fire in the cell, and it was quiet. The door in the spring yard was always closed until dark.

The old cow and the fine horse are kept together in a trough, and the phoenix lives in a chicken coop, eating and living like a chicken.

Once I get cold and get sick, the ravine will definitely be my burial place.

If I can go through two winters and summers like this, all kinds of diseases will naturally retreat.

it's a pity that such a dark and low-humidity place has become a paradise for me to settle down.

Is there any mystery in this? Nothing can harm my health.

because there is always a heart in my chest, fame and wealth are like clouds in the horizon to me.

The sorrow in my heart is deep and boundless. When will heaven have the ultimate?

The sages have left me one by one, and their examples have been engraved in my heart.

under the eaves, I spread my books in the breeze, and the glory of the ancients will shine on me and go on firmly.

Appreciation of Poetry

Zhengqi Song is a brilliant poem. The poem is full of lofty integrity, showing the author's firm fighting spirit of national integrity and unyielding strength, wealth and immorality, and his lofty belief of eternal life.

The preface of this poem is prose. There are parallel sentences, scattered sentences, jagged ones, and dense ones. In the preface, the author first describes the "seven qi" in prison by arranging sentences and interspersed with parallel prose, trying to render the evil environment of prison.

The poet also said that his body was originally weak, but he was safe and sound under the attack of "seven qi", that is, relying on the lofty righteousness in his chest, with the righteousness in his chest, he could resist all evil and turbid qi, which explained the reason for writing "Zhengqi Song", and then led to the following sigh of "Zhengqi".

Therefore, preface and poem are related in conception, coordinated in technique and an integral part of the whole poem.
