Where does this sentence come from? -Song Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array, Giving Zhuang Ci to Chen Tongfu"
The complete original text is like this:
Drunk in the dream of watching the sword under the oil lamp, dreaming back to the old days of the military camp, a horn sounded. Eight hundred miles to divide the main fire, fifty strings to turn over the Great Wall, and the enemy is on the battlefield in autumn.
Horses run like Ma Delu, bows and arrows fly like thunder. It is a good idea for the emperor to complete the great cause of recovering the lost land of the country and gain a good reputation from generation to generation. Poor hair has become a white-haired man!
I also released a translation for your understanding:
In a drunken dream, I looked at my sword with an oil lamp, and in a trance, I returned to that year, and the trumpets in various military camps came and went. Distribute wine and food to subordinates to enjoy, and let musical instruments play magnificent military music to boost morale. This is the autumn parade on the battlefield.
Horses run like horses, bows and arrows are thundering. I am bent on completing the great cause of recovering the lost land for the monarch and gaining a good reputation handed down from generation to generation. I woke up from my dream, but unfortunately I was already a white-haired man!
Here are some words that I think are more important. Let me explain them to you separately:
Drunk: Drunk.

If you only read the article, it may be difficult to understand the meaning, so you have to interpret it in combination with the creative background of the article at that time:
This word was used when the author was frustrated and lived in Xinzhou (now Shangrao, Jiangxi). When Xin Qiji was twenty-one, he took part in the anti-Jin uprising in his hometown Licheng (now Jinan, Shandong). After the failure of the uprising, he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty and became an official in many places. He settled the people's livelihood, trained the army, and strongly advocated the recovery of the Central Plains, but he was rejected. Later, he was not allowed to be appointed for a long time and lived in seclusion for nearly 20 years. In the winter of the 15th year of Xichun in Song Xiaozong (1 188), Xin Qiji and Chen Liang met in Piaoquan, Qian Shan, which was the second "Goose Lake Meeting". Chen Liang is talented, courageous and free to speak. Claiming to be able to "tear down the wisdom and courage of a lifetime and open the heart of the ages." He successively wrote Five Theories on Zhongxing and Filial Piety, and actively advocated the war of resistance, thus being hit by capitulationists. I visited Xin Qiji in Lead Mountain this time and stayed for ten days. After leaving, Xin Qiji wrote the words "He Xinlang said wine pavilion" and gave it to him. He composed a song. Later, I sang it over and over again with the same plaque. This song "Broken Array" was also written in this period.
Poems of Past Dynasties 1 18 quotes ancient and modern thorns: "Chen Liang quotes Jia Xuan to talk about what's going on in the world. In the bright night, I am afraid to think that I am still young and safe. I stole my horse and went there. From you Anfu, it says' broken array'. "
Now that we know the original intention and creative background, let's appreciate and comment on this article together:
In a sense, the whole poem can be divided into two parts. The first three sentences are a paragraph, which vividly depicts the image of a loyal and brave general, thus showing the poet's great ambition. The last three sentences are a paragraph, expressing the grief and indignation of "ambition is hard to pay" with a deep sigh.
The first sentence, with three continuous and distinctive movements, creates an image of a strong man, which makes readers understand the inner activities of the characters and imagine the living environment of the characters from those movements, which means endless.
The action of "lighting" once again points out the scene of the middle of the night. In the dead of night, I couldn't sleep, so I had to eat wine alone. After eating "drunk", I still can't calm down, so I follow "holding the lamp" and "watching the sword". After finally falling asleep, everything I just thought became a dream. A brave man woke up from a good dream and it was dawn. A military camp is connected to a military camp, and the horn rings. The sound of the trumpet is full of courage. And that strong man happens to be the general in charge of these barracks. So, he jumped up, dressed neatly, and wanted to turn everything he thought in "drunkenness" and "dreams" into reality.
Two or three sentences highlight the majestic military capacity and show the high fighting mood of generals and soldiers. "800 Li under fire, 50 strings beyond the Great Wall": The soldiers rejoiced and enjoyed the roast beef presented by the general; The army played inspiring fighting music. The general is full of energy and high spirits, and he is an "autumn soldier on the battlefield." This word "autumn" is well written. Just like "Mazhuang in crisp autumn", "point soldiers" going out indicates an invincible prospect.
After "Autumn Soldiers Go to the Battlefield", it was magnificent, and it ran straight through the later film "Lu made of horses, fast speed, bow like a thunderbolt": the general took an iron horse, galloped with his whip, and quickly rushed to the front, bowing and thundering, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison. It seems that I have seen several pictures in succession: the enemy has fallen; Defeated soldiers, messy; The general took the lead, pursued victory, and ended the battle instantly; The victory song was played and the flag fluttered happily. However, at the end of the word, the author sighed deeply: "White hair is born!" " Fell violently from the peak of feelings. It turns out that magnificent military capacity, galloping battle array and brilliant victory are all dreams. This situation is really "sad". However, no one "pities" him. So he wrote this poem "Zhuang Ci" and sent it to Chen Tongfu in the same "poor" situation.
From the whole word, there is a strong contrast between hero and tragic, ideal and reality. The author can only look at the sword when drunk, gallop to kill the enemy in his dream, and lament when he wakes up. This is a personal tragedy as well as a national tragedy. The author's loyalty, whether awake, drunk or dreaming, can't be forgotten, which is a vivid embodiment of his lofty and deep patriotism and dedication.
The layout of this word is also noteworthy. The phrase "get drunk while watching the sword" suddenly sounded, followed by the taste of dreams, the division of company battalions, the direction of soldiers on the battlefield, and the victory of the enemy, protruding like an eagle, soaring into the sky. However, when soaring in the sky, it suddenly fell and sighed that "poverty happened", which forced readers to shed tears of pity for the author's ambition. This style of writing, which plummets and comes to an abrupt end at the same time, is often exciting because of its unexpected strong artistic effect if used well. Such a structure is rare not only in Song poetry, but also in ancient poetry. This artistic technique also embodies the bold style and original spirit of Xin Ci. However, Xin Qiji did not use this artistic technique to show off his skills and pursue novelty. This expression is closely related to his life experience and political experience. Because it is difficult to realize his ambition of recovery, his feelings broke out and naturally broke the formal convention, which is by no means something that a writer who only pays attention to literary form can do.
There is something noteworthy about the tone of this word. The upper and lower six sentences in the Broken Array are all flat, that is, the previous one is flat and the next one is flat, which constitutes a harmonious and soothing syllable. There are two seven-character sentences in the upper and lower films, but they are not flat, but flat and flat, forming an angry and violent syllable. Harmony and anger, liberation and agitation form a contradictory unity. The author makes good use of this tone of contradiction and unity, and appropriately shows the complex psychological changes of the lyric hero and the transformation of many scenes such as battle preparation, battle progress and battle victory in the dream, which has received vivid artistic effects.
Finally, here is the author of this article:?
Xin Qiji (165438+May 28th 040-1207-65438+1October 3rd), formerly known as Tanfu, later changed to You 'an, middle-aged posthumous title Jiaxuan, a native of Licheng County, Jinan, Shandong East Road (now Licheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province). Officials, generals, writers and bold poets in the Southern Song Dynasty were called "dragons in words". Known as "Su Xin" with Su Shi and "Jinan Er 'an" with Li Qingzhao. When Xin Qiji was born, the Central Plains was occupied by nomadic people. 2 1 year-old joined the anti-Jin army and soon returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He has been to Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and eastern Zhejiang. Fight for gold all your life. There are "Ten Theories on Meiqin" and "Nine Theories" on the top, and there is "Debate and Strategy" on the bottom. His lyrics expressed patriotic enthusiasm for restoring national unity, poured out his grief and indignation, and condemned the humiliation and peace of the rulers at that time. There are also many works that praise the rivers and mountains of the motherland. He has a wide range of subjects, is good at using predecessors' allusions, and has a heroic style, but there is no lack of delicacy and gentleness. Because Xin Qiji's anti-gold proposition did not conform to the political proposition of the ruling peace faction, he was impeached and resigned, and lived in seclusion by the lake of Jiangxi.
