When he was a teenager, Xin Qiji made the ambition of recovering the Central Plains and serving the country for revenge, and cultivated the chivalrous spirit of Yanzhao. Xin Qiji grew up under the rule of the northern Jin people, witnessed the humiliation and pain suffered by the Han people under the rule of the Jin people, and made a wish to restore the Central Plains with his grandfather's ardent expectations.
In the sixth year of Xichun's stay in Song Xiaozong (A.D. 1 179), Xin Qiji changed from Hubei to Hunan, which seemed to be a small transfer, but Xin Qiji thought it was a sign that the court in the Southern Song Dynasty did not let the anti-Japanese war faction rise, and the reality was getting farther and farther away from his wish of northern expedition. Before he left, his colleague Wang gave him a farewell dinner at Shanting. He was deeply moved and wrote this word.
In this poem, Xin Qiji uses historical allusions to express his anxiety and helplessness. He was worried that the imperial court in the Southern Song Dynasty would no longer support the anti-Japanese war faction, but his wish of northern expedition was becoming more and more difficult to realize. At the same time, he expressed his feelings for those historical figures who once had a good time and eventually turned to dust through the sentence "You didn't see the swallows in Yuhuan are all dust".
The meaning of this sentence is that those historical figures who were once very popular, such as Zhao, eventually disappeared and were no longer mentioned. This is not only a profound reflection on history, but also a helplessness and emotion for life.
In this poem by Xin Qiji, we can see his profound understanding and unique views on history, life, politics and life. His poems not only have high artistic value, but also provide an important perspective for us to observe and understand the life, culture and thoughts of that historical period.
Generally speaking, Xin Qiji expressed his profound understanding of history and unique views on life in this poem. His poems not only have high artistic value, but also provide an important perspective for us to observe and understand the life, culture and thoughts of that historical period.
