The Original and Translation of Gui Zhixiang's "Jinling Nostalgia"

Guizhixiang Jinling Nostalgia

Wang Anshi in Song Dynasty

This is the late autumn in the ancient country, and the weather is very early. Thousands of miles are like a river, like clusters of Qingfeng. Sail back to the sunset, with the west wind on your back and the wine flag tilted. The colorful boat is cloudy, and the Milky Way heron rises, which is difficult to draw. (Return to sail: sail)

Miss the past, compete for prosperity, sigh outside the door, and continue to hate. Throughout the ages, it is a shame to look up to it. The past of the Six Dynasties flowed with the water, and the cold smoke faded the grass. Today, business women still sing from time to time, leaving a legacy in the backyard.

The whole poem is interpreted as follows:

Climbing to the top of the tall building, the scene of Jinling is late autumn, and the weather has just begun to get cold. The Yangtze River, which flows thousands of miles, is brewing like white practice, and the Qingfeng Mountain is majestic and steep like an arrow. The boats on the river are full of sails and heading for the sunset, and the swaying wine flags face the west wind on the shore. Colorful floats haunt the clouds, and egrets in the middle of the river sometimes stop flying. This beautiful scenery is hard to draw with the most beautiful pictures.

Looking back on the past, the luxurious and dissolute life was in constant competition, sighing that "Han Qinhu outside the door, Zhang Lihua on the roof" came one after another. From a distance through the ages, the scenery you see is like this. Don't feel sorry for the gains and losses in history. All the changes in the Six Dynasties disappeared with the flowing water, only the cold smoke and withered weeds in the suburbs were still green. Until now, women in business still don't know the sorrow and hatred of national subjugation, and always sing the legacy of "backyard" loudly.

Make an appreciative comment

This is a poem in memory of Jinling. The first part is about Jinling scenery, and the second part is about homesickness. At the beginning, the words "I was mistaken when climbing a mountain" indicate that what is written below is what I saw when climbing a mountain. What you see is the clear rivers and green peaks in late autumn. Sails are fluttering, wine flags are facing the wind, clouds cover floats, and egrets are flying. It is difficult to describe the beauty of this painting. The scenery of Jiangtian made the poet appreciate and intoxicated, and also caused him to think deeply. I changed my face and wrote about homesickness: the emperors of the Six Dynasties, with Jinling as their capital, competed for resorts and lived in luxury, and staged a shocking tragedy of national subjugation. For thousands of years, people just bemoaned the story of the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties in vain. But what good is it to sigh and fluctuate? Here, the poet shows the profound thoughts and majestic spirit of politicians. Criticize not only the debauchery of the monarch who died in the Six Dynasties, but also the rise and fall of the mourners. The past events of the Six Dynasties passed away with the water, and there were cold smoke and fragrant grass in leisure. Sadly, some people, like strong women in business, are addicted to pleasure regardless of the rise and fall of the country. As a politician, Wang Anshi opposes the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties. Facing the reality of poverty and weakness in the Northern Song Dynasty, he should draw lessons from history and carry out political reforms to avoid extravagance and waste leading to exhaustion of national strength and repeat the mistakes of the Six Dynasties.

Based on the magnificent mountains and rivers, this word tells the ups and downs of ancient and modern feelings, with lofty thoughts, vigorous brushwork, vigorous body and compelling spirit. The use of predecessors' poems in many places shows the profound knowledge of the author.

This word expresses Jinling people's nostalgia for the past and is an extraordinary masterpiece for the author. It was written when the author stopped talking and got to know jiangning house. Wang Anshi's empathy for natural scenery when he was frustrated and bored was fully revealed in his poems.

The whole word comes straight to the point, the screenwriter, Jinling Resort, the ancient capital of the Southern Dynasties, went to Linjiang Range Rover on a late autumn evening. Although he takes climbing high and looking far as the theme, he takes the late autumn in his hometown as his eyes. Words such as "Zheng", "Chu" and "Su" gradually awaken its theme.

The following two sentences, borrowed from Xie Jia's famous sentence in the Six Dynasties, seem to have come out: "Explaining the Tao makes people forget Xie Xuanhui.". That is to say, an "elephant training" and an "elephant cluster" have sprung up. Then I wrote about the color of the river. Looking at it, countless sails and shadows crisscross the sparkling river waves in the sunset. Looking closely, I saw that the west wind was tight, and the green flag of the restaurant was raised high, because the wind was blowing. The sail is a broad scene, the wine flag is a fine scene, and the poet's meaning is guided by scenery and personnel. A word "back" and a word "foundation" are used brilliantly, and the scenery along the river is vividly written, as if it were alive.

At this point, the scenery is rough, and the following has changed. The combination of "colorful boat" and "Xinghe" adds a touch of bright color. But the word beat has reached the rest of the film, so the pen is also here. It is quite common for everyone to praise it with the phrase "drawing is difficult". "Colorful boats are cloudy", and the river sky at sunset reads: "The Milky Way rises with herons", which looks like a continent in the evening.

The next film is another pen and ink, lamenting the historical fact that all the Six Dynasties died in debauchery. What is written is sadness, resentment, honor and disgrace, which makes later generations lament; There is no trace of the past, only autumn grass is blue, which is shocking. The "building outside the door" is also concise and powerful with Du Mu's "Taicheng Qu".

The ending of this poem is more wonderful. The poet wrote: Today, the Six Dynasties are far away, and their legacy is still audible. Allusions are used here "A strong woman in business doesn't know how to hate her country, but also sings" backyard flowers "across the river!" This famous sentence sung by Tang Xian Komori in "The Smoke Cage is full of sand and the night is near Qinhuai Restaurant" has been repeatedly used by the poet, full of endless feelings and lasting forever.
