Wang Anshi's "Hanging Branches in Jinling"
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 to the sunset, with the west wind at your back and the wine flag tilted. The colorful boat is cloudy, and the Milky Way heron rises, which is difficult to draw.
Miss the past, compete for luxury, sigh outside the door, and continue to worry and 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 are still singing, and "backyard" is a heritage.
2. Translation
It's late autumn when you board the ancient capital Jinling, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler. The Yangtze River, thousands of miles away, is like training in white and Qingfeng is like an arrow. At sunset, the shadow of the sail wall shuttles on the river waves, and the west wind sweeps over the green flag of Jiu Si. Even if the clouds on the ship are pale and the egrets fly in the Milky Way, it is difficult to draw this beautiful picture.
Looking back, the emperors of Jinling pursued happiness here, lamenting that the beauty on the roof of Enemy at the Gates was singing and dancing, and the sorrow of national subjugation followed. From ancient times to the present, how many people mourn for this, sigh for rise and fall, and sigh for honor and disgrace. The past of the Six Dynasties has faded away with the flowing water, and only the cold fog and vegetation are still green. Today, there is still the singer in the teahouse and restaurant, and he is still singing the old backyard song from time to time.
3. Brief analysis
Gui Zhi Xiang Jin Mausoleum Nostalgia is the work of Wang Anshi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. By praising the scenery of Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) and regretting the rise and fall of history, this word entrusted the author with his concern about the current politics at that time and the current politics of the country. Shang Kan wrote his views on landing in Jinling's old capital. Chengjiang, Cuifeng, Sailing, Sunset, Wine Flag, West Wind, Cloudy Pale and Heron Ascending outline the majestic scene of water, land and air in turn, and the realm is desolate. I wrote down my thoughts in Jinling. The word "Peng" makes a turning point, comparing the past and the present, criss-crossing time and space, and the reality and reality coexist, expressing the deep depression and heavy sigh of history and reality. The whole poem is a masterpiece with a blend of scenes, a broad realm, a gloomy and tragic style, and a harmonious combination of magnificent scenery and historical content.
