"Many brave people in Yanzhao have been casting swords for ten years, and hope that the Ming Dynasty will make contributions!" Who wrote it?

"Zhao Yan, with many brave men, has been casting swords for ten years, and hopes to achieve great success in the Ming Dynasty" is a popular inspirational couplet on the Internet, and the college entrance examination is often used as a slogan to boost students' morale. The author of couplets can't be verified. The complete couplet is as follows:

The first part: Many brave people in Yanzhao have been casting swords for ten years, hoping to make contributions in the Ming Dynasty.

Bottom line: Yihe is very talented and studies hard for the big exam.

Among them, the source of the first couplet comes from the sentence "Zhao Yan is called a sentimental person" in Han Yu's Preface to Send Dong Shaonan to the North of the River in the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the word "affection" was changed to "generosity" by later generations. Since ancient times, people have said that Zhao Yan has many generous and tragic heroes.

The full text of Preface to Send Dong Shaonan to Hebei is as follows:

In ancient times, Zhao Yan was regarded as a sad person. Dong Shengju is a scholar, but he often fails to aim high, embrace sharp weapons and feel depressed and comfortable. I know there must be a combination. Dong Shengmian!

When a husband takes his son for granted, all benevolent people cherish it. A Zhao Yanren is beyond his nature! However, I have tasted the local conditions and customs and know that it is no different from ancient times. Tell me about my son's trip. Dong Shengmian!

I felt something. Show me the tombs of kings of past dynasties and the city. Were there any dog butchers in the past? Thank you for me: "Tomorrow, I will go to school, so I can go out to be an official."

While praising Dong Sheng's "recluse", the full text also expresses regret that "the secretariat of history cannot be recommended". This Dong Sheng lived in seclusion for a period of time, and he was uneasy about the current situation that "the son of heaven is not famous, and the noble people are not as good as the family". Finally, he took the initiative to go out of the mountain and chose to take refuge in the buffer region of Hebei Province. Han Yu naturally has some sympathy for Dong Sheng's "frustration".

The full text is deeply worded and meaningful. Although there are only over 100 words, it is full of twists and turns. Although it is a farewell article, it is sent to keep, and it is sent outside of pen and ink.
