Original text:

I was imprisoned in the North Courtyard, sitting in an earthen room. The room is eight feet wide and four feet deep. The single leaf is low and small, the white space is short and narrow, dirty and dark. On this summer day, all kinds of qi are in full bloom: when it rains for four times and floats on the bed, it is water vapor; when it is covered with mud for half a day, it steams and soaks in the waves, it is earthy.

When it is sunny and hot, and the wind is blocked, it is the weather of the sun at this time; when the eaves are covered with firewood, it promotes the inflammation, it is the air of fire; Rice qi; when there are lumps in the shoulders, fishy sweat and dirt, it is human qi; when it is mixed with scum, corpses, or rotting rats, it is filthy qi.

Stacking means counting Qi, and those who can do it are rarely outstanding. But he was weak and looked down on him for two years. Fortunately, he was fine. It was because he was well nourished. However, what does Anzhi support? Mencius said: "I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring Qi." That Qi has seven, and I have one Qi. If one is against seven, why should I suffer! Kuang Haoran is the righteousness of heaven and earth, so he made a song of righteousness.

The heaven and earth have righteousness and are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. To others, it is called Haoran, which is so abundant that it blocks the sky.

The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting. When the time comes, we can see each other and draw pictures one by one. In Qi Taishi bamboo slips, in Jin Dynasty Dong Hu's pen.

In Qin Zhang Liangzhui, in Han Suwu Festival. He was the head of General Yan and was bleeding for Ji Shi. They are Zhang Suiyang's teeth and Yan Changshan's tongue.

Maybe it is the Liaodong hat, clearing the ice and snow. Or to show off one's teachings, ghosts and gods weep heroically. Or to cross the river and swallow Hu Jie generously.

Perhaps for hitting the thief's wat, the reverse head will be broken. This is the majestic Qi that will last forever. When it penetrates the sun and moon, life and death will be settled.

The maintenance of the earth depends on it, and the pillar of heaven depends on it. The three cardinal principles are actually life-related, and morality is the root. I'm sorry to hear that Yang Jiu is really weak.

The prisoners of Chu wore their crowns and sent them to Qiongbei. The tripod wok is as sweet as glutinous rice, but you can't get it if you ask for it. There is a ghost fire in the underworld, and it is dark when the spring courtyard is closed.

The ox eats the same soap, the chicken roosts and the phoenix eats. Once there is fog and dew, it becomes barren in the ditch. In this case, no matter how cold or hot it is, all kinds of diseases will be easy to overcome.

Alas, Ju Nauchang, for my peaceful country. How could he not be clever? Yin and Yang cannot be thieved. Looking up at this stubborn existence, I look up at the white floating clouds.

My heart is sad for a long time, and the sky is full of extremes. The day of the philosopher is far away, and the punishment is in the past. The wind eaves display books for reading, and the ancient roads illuminate their colors.

Translation:

I was imprisoned in the capital of the Northern Kingdom and lived in a mud house. The earthen hut was eight feet wide and about four fathoms deep. There was a single door, low and small, and a white wooden window short and narrow, and the place was dirty and low, damp and dark. In this summer, all kinds of smells gather together: rainwater flows in from all sides and even floats on the bed and tables. At this time, the house is full of moisture; because the sludge in the house rarely gets sunlight, it evaporates and stinks. At this time, the house was full of rustic weather; suddenly it was sunny and hot, and the air ducts everywhere were blocked again, and now the house was full of solar weather.

Someone was burning firewood for cooking under the eaves, which contributed to the raging heat. At this time, the house was full of fire; there was a lot of rotten food stored in the warehouse, and there was a musty smell. It's all moldy rice smell; there are so many people locked up here, it's crowded and messy, and there's a fishy smell of sweat everywhere. At this time, the room is full of people; there's feces, rotting corpses, dead rats, all kinds of things. The stench spread out together, and the room was filled with foul smell.

So many smells add up to a plague, and few people are immune to the disease. However, I have been living in such a bad environment with a weak body for two years now, but I have not had any illness. This is probably because of cultivation. But how do you know what this cultivation is? Mencius said: "I am good at cultivating the awe-inspiring Qi in my heart." It has seven kinds of Qi. I have one kind of Qi. I can defeat those seven kinds of Qi with one kind of Qi. What should I worry about! Moreover, what is broad and upright is the awe-inspiring righteousness between heaven and earth. (Therefore) this song "Song of Righteousness" was written.

There is an upright air between heaven and earth, which gives all things and transforms them into various shapes.

On the lower side, it appears as mountains, rivers, and mountains, and on the upper side, it appears as the sun, moon, stars, and stars.

In the human world, it is called the aura of vastness, which fills heaven, earth and the universe.

During the Qingming period of national prosperity and peace, it presented a peaceful atmosphere and an enlightened court.

When times are tough, martyrs will appear, and their glorious images will hang on the painting one by one.

In Qi, there are Taishi bamboo slips that sacrifice one's life to record history, and in Jin, there is Dong Hu's pen, which insists on justice.

In the Qin Dynasty, there was Zhang Liangzhui who fought against violence for the people, and in the Han Dynasty, there was the brave and loyal Su Wujie.

It also appears as the head of General Yan who preferred death rather than surrender, and as the blood of Ji Shi who resisted desperately.

It is shown as Zhang Juyang’s teeth that were shattered when he swore to kill the enemy, and Yan Changshan’s tongue that was cut out when he scolded the thief.

Sometimes it appears as Guan Ning, who likes to wear a white hat to avoid chaos in Liaodong. His noble character is better than ice and snow.

Sometimes it appears as Zhuge Liang who wrote "The Master's Guide". His loyalty to death makes ghosts and gods weep.

Sometimes it appears as Ji when Zu Ti crossed the Yangtze River and made an impassioned vow to devour Hu Jie.

Sometimes it is shown as Duan Xiushi beating the traitor's wat, and the traitor's head is suddenly broken.

This kind of majestic energy fills the universe, and justice is inviolable and will last forever.

When this kind of righteousness reaches the sky and penetrates the sun and the moon, there is no need to talk about living or dying!

The earth relies on it to stand upright, and the sky pillar relies on it to support its support.

The Three Cardinal Principles rely on it to maintain life, and morality relies on it to have its foundation.

What’s sad is that when I encountered a national crisis, I really couldn’t afford to go to Anguo to kill the thieves.

Wearing court clothes, he became a prisoner and was sent to Qiongbei by post.

To me, being tortured by a cauldron is like drinking sugar water, and dying for the country is something I can only dream of.

The cell was silent with little will-o'-the-wisps flickering, and the door to the spring courtyard was always closed until dark.

The old cow and the horse were kept together in a trough, and the phoenix lived in the chicken coop and ate and lived like a chicken.

Once I catch the cold and contract a disease, the ravine will definitely be my burial place.

If I can experience two more cold and summer days like this, all kinds of diseases will be gone. You should retreat.

It is a pity that such a dark and humid place has become a paradise for me to settle down and live my life.

Is there any secret in this? All the cold and heat cannot harm my body.

Because a loyal heart will always exist in my heart, and fame and wealth are like floating clouds in the sky to me.

The sorrow in my heart is deep and boundless. I wonder when the sky will have the end.

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

Under the eaves, I unfolded the book and read in the breeze. The glory of the ancients will shine on me and I will go on firmly.

Extended information:

"Song of Righteousness" is a five-character ancient poem written by Wen Tianxiang, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, in prison. The beginning of the poem points out that the awe-inspiring righteousness exists between heaven and earth, and it will inevitably be revealed when time comes. Then twelve allusions are used, all of which are famous figures in history. Their actions awe-inspiringly show the power of righteousness.

The next eight sentences explain that Haoran's righteousness penetrates the sun and the moon, establishes the heaven and the earth, and is the life of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the root of morality. Finally, when it comes to his own destiny, although he was defeated, captured, and in an extremely harsh prison, he was able to face his fate calmly because he was righteous and all kinds of evil spirits and diseases could not invade him.

The whole poem is deeply emotional, majestic, straight from the heart, without any embellishment, and fully embodies the author's lofty national integrity and strong patriotism.

The preface to this poem is prose. There are parallel sentences and prose sentences, which are mixed and dense. In the preface, the author first lays out the story by arranging sentences, and uses parallel prose to describe the "seven qi" in the prison, trying his best to exaggerate the filthiness of the prison environment. The poet also said that his body was originally weak, but under the attack of the "seven qi", he was safe and sound. That was because of the awe-inspiring righteousness in his chest.

With righteousness in the chest, you can resist all evil and turbid qi. These explain the reasons for writing "Song of Righteousness", which then leads to the following chant about "righteousness". Therefore, the preface and the poem are connected in concept, and are in harmony with each other in technique, and are an integral part of the whole poem.

The core of the structure of the whole article is "seeing things when times are poor". The author first starts with "there is righteousness in heaven and earth", and then adds layer by layer to highlight that "the times are limited and the seasons are wise". Later, he cited the deeds of "philosophers" to prove that "the times are poor and the times are wise"; he also used his unyielding imprisoned in a dungeon to prove that "the times are poor and the times are wise". The whole poem is grand in scope, with prominent themes and clear context.

Haoran's righteousness runs straight through the whole article, so he recounts the deeds of ancient people and his own experiences without any sense of overlay.

He writes about the ancients first and then himself, and shows that the ancients who "see the times when times are poor" are his role models, showing that his awe-inspiring righteousness is rooted in the fertile soil of the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. It is precisely because of inheriting and carrying forward the excellent cultural traditions that the author Wen Tianxiang became a national hero and allowed him to carry forward the patriotism and national integrity. It also makes this ancient poem of his a model for promoting patriotism and national integrity.

This poem is very long, and it is written in five characters. It is easy to be written flatly and procrastinated. However, this poem is touching the hearts of the readers with its generosity and tragedy, making the readers deeply affected. This is mainly due to the awe-inspiring righteousness in the poet's chest that overflows, making the poem full of vitality without any sense of dryness. The words are full of energy, the writing is powerful, and the style is majestic.

The whole poem uses peaceful and steady prose language, closely surrounding the praise of Haoran's righteousness, and unfolds it in depth through narrative and discussion. The first part is about the source and shape of Haoran’s Qi, which is a brief summary of Qian Lian. There is an epic enumeration in the middle, which is rich but not cumbersome. The heroic deeds of the twelve loyal ministers and righteous men are completed in one go, just like a river rushing eastward. The poet's language of three-dimensional parallelism makes the poem rich in changes.

The majesty in this form of expression is very consistent with the majesty in the meaning of Haoran's righteousness, which fully and wonderfully reflects the underlying content of the whole poem: "It is the majesty of Qi that will last forever. When it runs through "The sun and the moon, life and death are at ease." At the same time, it also makes readers clearly feel the author's tall image of being upright and upholding the sky and the earth.

The sixty sentences in "Song of Righteousness" have one rhyme every other sentence, four rhymes throughout the whole poem, and rhymes between flat and oblique lines, so as to guide the mood of the poem to twists and turns, and to contain excitement and calmness. It is both clear and ancient, yet also full of ups and downs, and soul-stirring.

This poem is written in the tone of ancient poetry, without the parallelism and arrangement of modern poetry, making it look ancient and tragic. It vividly and vividly expresses the author Wen Tianxiang's loyalty, courage and unyielding iron bones; while praising the martyrs, it also demonstrates the author Wen Tianxiang's lofty national integrity and great patriotism spirit, creating an upright and awe-inspiring image of a national hero.

In this poem, first of all, the author lists many historical figures. They are not only national heroes, but they are not necessarily heroic figures who have made significant contributions to history and the people. For example, Ji Shao in the poem "Blood for Ji Shi" was just a loyal minister in the feudal society who sacrificed his life to defend a mediocre emperor Jin Hui due to internal strife in the royal family. As for Guan Ning, he is just a hermit who escapes reality and lives alone. Although the author praises them all as historical heroes, this is actually not advisable.

Secondly, although the author Wen Tianxiang is a rare national hero in Chinese history, his heroic sacrifice was largely based on the idea of ??loyalty to the emperor in feudal society. He had envied the behavior of ancient loyal ministers and righteous men since he was a child: when he saw some portraits of loyal ministers in the Jiangxi Academy, he said with emotion: "If there is no such thing as a bean, he is not a husband." And when he was about to be executed, he also tried to learn from the ancient sages and become benevolent. Take righteousness as your creed of loyalty to your country.

It can be seen that his ideological foundation is basically based on loyalty to the emperor. It is precisely because he had this feudal idea of ??loyalty to the emperor that his vision was limited and the positive content of his works was restricted. Therefore, while evaluating its positive significance, ideas that are not in line with the interests of the people should be criticized.

After being arrested, he was able to uphold the national integrity, not for humiliation or inducement, and finally sacrificed for the country, maintaining the noble national integrity and maintaining "righteousness" for the motherland. Naturally, he should be affirmed. . However, the author Wen Tianxiang’s patriotic thoughts are essentially different from the proletarian patriotism and internationalist thoughts.

Finally, precisely because the author Wen Tianxiang was restricted by the feudal idea of ??loyalty to the emperor, some things that promote Confucian doctrines and feudal ethical concepts were naturally revealed in the poem, such as "Three cardinal principles are actually life-related." ", morality is the root" and so on are all feudal dogma and are undesirable.
