Song of the wind

Liu bang

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.

Hai returned to his hometown.

Andrew, soldiers are always on the lookout, okay?

After defeating Xiang Yu, Liu Bang became the first emperor of the Han Dynasty. Of course, this makes him excited, happy and full of ambition, but in his heart, he has deep fear and sorrow. This Song of the Wind vividly shows his ambivalence.

He defeated Xiang Yu, relying on the concerted efforts of Qi Xin from several units. These troops, some of whom are his allies, have no affiliation; Some of them were originally his subordinates, but because of their rapid strength in the war, they have become too big to fail. After Xiang Yu's defeat, if these troops unite against him, he can't cope. So when he ascended the throne, he wanted the leaders of several major forces to be kings and let them rule a considerable area; Then use the strategy of divide and conquer to destroy them one by one. In this process, it is inevitable to encounter stubborn resistance. In BC 196, Ying Bu, king of Huainan, rose up against Korea. Because of his heroic fighting and strong military potential, Liu Bang had to go out in person. He quickly defeated Ying Bu, and finally his ministry will kill Ying Bu. On his way home successfully, Liu Bang returned to his hometown-Pei County (now Jiangsu Province) and invited his former friends, elders and younger generations to drink together for more than ten days. One day, after drinking too much, Liu Bang crashed into the building and sang this song "Wind Song" which he improvised. Moreover, he danced generously and wept bitterly (see Hanshu Gaudi Ji).

If Xiang Yu's "Gaixia Song" shows the sorrow of losers, then "Da Feng Ge" shows the sorrow of winners. As a link between these two kinds of sadness, it is a sentimental feeling for people's smallness. In the first sentence, Li Shan explained in the Tang Dynasty: "The wind is flying, competing with the pack, and the world is in chaos." (See Shan Li's Selected Works of Jiguting, Volume 28) This is correct. "The chaos in the world, because of competing with the pack" obviously refers to the situation of competing with the pack at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Some books in Selected Works are called Meng. If so, it refers to the counter-insurgency of Ying Bu and others in the early Han Dynasty. But these counter-revolutionaries were launched one after another, not at the same time, and should not be said to be "fierce competition"; What's more, they are all counter-insurgency in some areas and have not spread to the whole country. It should not be said that "the world is in chaos". Therefore, being a "man" is right. The next sentence "Vega returned to his hometown" means that he won the throne under such circumstances, so he was able to return to China with honor. Therefore, in these two sentences, Liu Bang frankly admitted that his success in Jia Weihai first depended on the situation that "there was a strong wind in the clouds". However, just as the situation is beyond human control, this situation is not caused by Liu Bang. He's just lucky that this happened. From this point of view, it is accidental that he can ascend to the throne. Although his contemporaries are as lucky as him in this respect, his success depends on his efforts and talents; But for Liu Bang, who was born in the "ground floor room", how much use would his efforts and talents be if he did not meet such an era? Therefore, in any case, he can become emperor, first of all by luck, and secondly by his own efforts and talents. He compared the objective conditions that pushed him to the throne of the emperor with the natural changes that the Romans could do nothing about, or at least unconsciously showed his psychological activities!

Whether Liu Bang regards his luck as a heavenly arrangement or a pure coincidence, it is not for him to decide. In other words, give full play to your talents; But the effect of all this depends on luck. As an emperor, to save the world, there must be brave men guarding the four sides for him, but is there such a brave man in the world? If so, can he find them and let them serve him? It doesn't depend entirely on him. Therefore, the third sentence "Andrew's warriors are eager to defend the quartet" is both hope and doubt. He wants to do this, but can he really do it? He could not answer himself. It can be said that he is not only uncertain whether he can find a warrior to defend the quartet, that is, whether he can save his own world, but also deeply worried and uneasy. So although the first two sentences of this song seem to be full of ambition, the third sentence suddenly reveals anxiety and fear about the uncertain future. If Xiang Yu, as a loser, once lamented that man can conquer nature, then this song of the winner Liu Bang echoed with similar sadness. No wonder when he was singing and dancing, he was "generous and sad" (Hanshu Gaudi Ji).

Gaixiage

Han Xiangyu

Pull up the mountain and share the anger with the world.

Bad times never die.

What can I do without dying?

I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't do anything!

Precautions:

The elegy of the hero's end.

This is a desperate word issued by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, on the eve of a deadly war. This poem is full of unparalleled heroism and affection; It not only shows rare self-confidence, but also sighs that it is insignificant. It is a miracle that just four sentences show such rich content and complicated feelings.

At the end of Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang sent troops to attack the State of Qin. Because of his brilliant military exploits, unparalleled courage and outstanding talent, he actually became a leader against Qin Qunxiong and played an important role in overthrowing the rule of Qin Dynasty. However, after the death of Qin, Liu Bang, the leader of another anti-Qin force as an ally of Xiang Yu, launched a cruel war with Xiang Yu in order to rule the whole country. He ended in Xiang Yu's failure. When writing this poem, Xiang Yu was surrounded by Gaixia (now the north bank of Nantuo River in Lingbi County, Anhui Province), and all the food was saved. He knew that failure was a foregone conclusion. After writing a poem, he led the troops to break through. Although he killed many enemy troops, he finally committed suicide in Wujiang (now northeast of Anhui county) because of his thin strength. The first sentence of this poem shows the reader an unparalleled heroic image. In ancient China, "Qi" not only originated from people's innate endowment, but also depended on cultivation. People's morality, ability, demeanor and so on all depend on "qi". The so-called "furious" means that he has surpassed anyone in these aspects. Although this is a kind of? Its general description, but the word "Lashan" gives readers a concrete and vivid feeling, so in this sentence, he vividly shows his omnipotent spirit through the combination of reality and reality.

However, the second sentence, the third sentence, the earth hero suddenly became? It's pale and powerless. Because of the bad weather, Gui, the famous horse he rode, could not move forward, which made him fall into the desperate situation of failure and could not extricate himself, so he had to be called "helpless". It is worth noting here: Why does raccoon's "immortality" have such serious consequences? I'm afraid I can only answer this question like this: the most important reason for his remarkable achievements is this famous horse; With its cooperation, he can be invincible. In other words, he almost conquered the world by himself, so his main comrade-in-arms is Zhu An. As for the others, they played little role in his career, and their harmony did not play much role in his success or failure. It was enough for him to pay attention to Zhuan. This means that his strength makes it meaningless for anyone to help him, and no one deserves to be his main comrade-in-arms. What a proud man! It can be said that I am the only one in the world! But, no matter how brave and invincible, chinese odyssey. Once the weather is unfavorable, he has no choice but to perish. In front of the mysterious "heaven", how small people are; Even the greatest hero in the world can't stand the slight blow of "Heaven"

Xiang Yu knew that his own demise was inevitable and his career would vanish, but he didn't miss, regret or sigh. The only thing he worries about is the future of a beautiful woman, who he loves and often travels with him in the East and the West. There is no doubt that after his death, Yu's fate will be very tragic. So, the sharp and unbearable pain gnawed at his heart deeply, and he sang the last sentence of this song with infinite sadness: "What if you are afraid of danger?" Translated into vernacular, it means: "Yu, Yu, what shall I do with you?" How deep and unforgettable love is contained in this short sentence!

Yes, compared with the eternal nature, individual people are indeed extremely fragile. Even heroes are just like a big wave in endless history, which is fleeting and regrettable. But love is eternal. It has always been one of the powerful spiritual pillars for human beings to make themselves full of vitality and purity. Even a demon who kills without blinking an eye will inevitably crawl in front of love, which makes people rejoice and admire. Although the length of Gaixia Song is not long, it profoundly shows these two aspects of life. For thousands of years, it has touched the hearts of countless readers; This is probably its charm!
