The "natural and wonderful pairing" of semantic pun in the poem "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" is to express fear at the beach and sigh at Lingding in the Lingding Ocean.
The sentence in the poem "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" expresses the poet's national integrity and the view of life and death of sacrificing one's life for righteousness: Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will be remembered in history.
The poem "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" uses metaphors to express the country's difficulties and personal ups and downs: the mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters, and the life experience is ups and downs.
Notes:
①Lingdingyang: at the mouth of the Pearl River 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: Recalling the early life and various hardships since becoming an official. Encounter means to be selected by the imperial court; Qiyijing means to pass the imperial examination and obtain an official position because of 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 of the Gan River. In the second year of Jingyan's reign (1277), 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: lament 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 1:
This poem was written by Wen Tianxiang after he was captured to fight to the death. 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 four sentences in the middle closely follow "There are 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 it is even more difficult to talk about personal destiny. 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 had not been able to win a 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 ruin of his country and his family, self-blame and self-lament. The last two sentences are the poet's unhesitating choice of his own destiny when he is trapped in the enemy's hands. 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.
Appreciation 2:
This is a poem that will last forever. The poem begins with a review of life experience. It is intended to imply that you have been tempered for a long time and are fearless no matter what hardships and hardships you have. Then I recounted my combat career: I spent four years in a desolate and desolate war environment. Linking personal destiny to the rise and fall of the country.
Three or four sentences continue to describe the development of the situation and the deep sorrow and indignation from both the national and personal aspects. This couplet has neat contrasts and appropriate metaphors, truly reflecting the social reality at that time and the poet's experience. National disasters, personal ups and downs, and all kinds of pain tortured the poet's feelings, making his words doubly sad.
The five or six sentences are deeper and deeper, using typical events in the encounter to once again show the poet's painful soul trembling due to the destruction of the country and personal danger. The last two sentences converge the whole article with majestic momentum, and write a heroic oath of preferring death to surrender. The meaning is, since ancient times, is there anyone who is immortal in life? As long as this patriotism and loyalty can be left to shine in the annals of history.
This famous saying that has been passed down through the ages is a hymn to an ideal life composed by the poet with his own blood and life. The tone of the whole poem is melancholy and solemn, and the awe-inspiring righteousness runs through the rainbow. It is indeed a great patriotic poem that moves the heaven and the earth and weeps ghosts and gods.
Appreciation 3:
"After all the hardships, only a few stars fell in the sky." The author, facing the critical moment of life and death, recalled his life with a lot of emotion. He grasped two major things, one was to become an official with Ming Jing, and the other was to be "King of Diligence". Starting from these two ends, the historical background and personal mood at that time were well written. "There are few fights" refers to the overall situation of the country. According to the "History of the Song Dynasty", the imperial court recruited soldiers from all over the world, but there were very few who held high the flag of righteousness and sacrificed their lives for the country like Wen Tianxiang. The author's use of the four words "little fighting" implies his anger towards those who are living an ignoble existence and his condemnation of the capitulationists!
If the first couplet is recounted from the vertical aspect, then the jaw couplet is rendered from the horizontal aspect.
"The mountains and rivers are shattered, the wind is fluttering with catkins, and the life experience is ups and downs, and the rain is hitting the rafts." The author uses desolate natural scenes to describe the decline of the country, and expresses his grief very deeply. The lonely ministers of a subjugated country are like rootless duckweeds floating on the water with nothing to rely on. This situation is already miserable enough. And the author added the word "rain" on top of "ping", which makes it even more miserable. This "life experience ups and downs" summarizes the author's arduous struggle and ups and downs in his life. This couplet has neat contrasts, appropriate metaphors, vivid images, and strong emotions. Reading it makes people feel sad!
The five or six sentences closely follow the previous meaning and further exaggerate the meaning. In the second year of Jingyan (1277), after Wen Tianxiang's army was defeated by the Yuan soldiers, they retreated from the Huangfangtan area to Fujian. At that time, he faced the sea and was pursued by soldiers. How to survive the dangerous situation and turn defeat into victory was the most worrying and uneasy thing for him. Now that the army has been defeated, and as a prisoner, he is being escorted across the Lingding Ocean, how can he not feel lonely? This couplet is particularly full of sentiment. The two emotionally charged place names "Fear Beach" and "Ling Ding Yang" are naturally opposite to each other, and they are used by the author to express his "fear" yesterday and the "Ling Ding" in front of him. It is really a good description. A swan song in the history of poetry!
In the above six sentences, the author exaggerates the hatred and hardships of his family and country to the extreme, and the sadness converges to a climax, but the last couplet is interrupted: "Who has never died in life since ancient times? Keep your loyalty. Follow history!" ends the whole article with majestic momentum and high-pitched sentiment, reflecting his national integrity and his view of life and death of sacrificing one's life for righteousness. The wonderful ending makes the whole story change from sad to strong, from melancholy to uplifting, forming an immortal song. The article expresses the author's helplessness about the country's defeat and his emotions about the ups and downs of history through his emotions about his personal life and the country's experiences, embodying the poet's noble sentiments and view of life and death of sacrificing one's life for righteousness.
Lingdingyang: outside the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong Province, between Inner and Outer Lingding Islands. Before the Opium War, Lingdingyang and Lingding Island were seized by opium dealers from the British and American invaders using barges and speedboats, and became a springboard for opium smuggling into my country.
