vs 109 Lamentation of troubled times
Zheng Huan saw that the Zhou royal family was declining day by day and could not do anything about the invasion of the ethnic minorities in the west, so he wanted to find a way out for his wife and children. So he chose the state of Yi to deposit his property, wife and children, and bribed the monarchs and ministers of the state of Yi with officials and property. The monarch of the state of Yi was greedy for money and profit, and he had no defense against Zheng Huan Gong at all. In 770 BC, the dog Rong attacked the Zhou royal family, Zheng Huan Gong was martyred, and his son Zheng Wu Gong ascended the throne. At this time, the Zhou royal family was forced to move east to Luoyang, and Zheng Wugong led the army to move east with him in the name of escort. When the affairs of the royal family were settled, Zheng Wugong destroyed the kingdom by the way. After Zheng Wugong destroyed the Dongyu Kingdom and the Yi Kingdom, it must be between Qinshui and Weishui, and the country name is still Zheng Guo, and the descendants call Zheng Guo at this time Xin Zheng in order to distinguish it.
After the migration of the Zheng people, they relied on Qinshui and Weishui to feed on the Dongyu and Yi kingdoms, and at the same time, they also brought fashion and luxury to the Gyeonggi region. The country has beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers, and rich economy; However, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Yi were lax and slack, which led to the darkness of the country's politics and the misery of the people. "Hinoki Wind" was produced in such a historical background. In the face of the dark political reality, some of the lower-ranking and sober-minded intellectuals in the state lamented the imminent demise of the country. On the one hand, they hate the mediocrity and incompetence of the rulers, who cannot make politics clear and make the country strong; On the one hand, self-mourning is powerless to change reality, and his heart is full of sorrow, and he even begins to envy the ignorance of the grass and trees, and there will be no pain of sorrow, let alone the burden of family. "Juniper Wind", the lament of the troubled times of the country.
There are a total of 4 poems in "Junifeng", namely "Lamb Qiu", "Su Guan", "Xi Youchang Chu" and "Bandit Wind". Let's take a look at them!
"Lamb Qiu": If the king does not follow the right path, the country will soon perish
The country itself is very small, and the monarch does not act according to the right path, so he cannot make the country politically strong, but is interested in dressing up and feasting. The minister of the state of Yi was helpless and sighed after being forced to leave the country.
Is it normal for the king of a country to take a leisurely trip as a top priority, but the dynasty has become a thing that can be postponed? Even if the monarch of a big country is in a prosperous era, if he can't look at the court with courtesy and don't pay attention to state affairs, it won't work. What's more, at that time, the country was a small country, and the surrounding big countries were eyeing each other, and the country's life and death were at stake. How can the monarch of the country of Yi not be anxious because he can't know himself? This is the deep and helpless heartache of the courtiers in the last days, and the long-lasting hatred of the king's mediocre behavior.
Under normal circumstances, people would admire the grace and beauty of the monarch when he was dressed in such a pure and lustrous lamb fur. But now, the lamb's fur, which shines in the sunlight like cream, is so dazzling that it is hard to forget after looking at it; This kind of unforgettable feeling is the indelible feeling of the imminent death of the country. When the courtier leaves the king, why does the fat lamb always flash in his heart? Because Sijun is Siguo. As a doctor of a country, there is no way to make the monarch be, so he has no choice but to leave here. However, the body is gone, but the mind cannot be cut in two.
Wear a lambskin jacket to go to leisure, and wear a fox skin robe to sit on the court. Why don't you let people worry about you, worry about it, and your heart all day long?
Wear a lambskin jacket to wander around, and wear a fox skin robe to the court. Why don't you let people worry about you, and always be sad when you think of your country?
The lambskin jacket was as colourful as cream, and the sun shone golden. Why don't you let people worry about you, and your heart is so heavy that you can't forget it all.
"Su Guan": The virtuous minister who was wronged
A virtuous minister who was persecuted and banished, he wore a plain hat, his body was thin, his description was withered, and his color was haggard. The whole body is plain, which shows that he is innocent and noble, but in such a sinister political environment, what innocence is there to speak of! In the face of the persecution and expulsion of virtuous ministers, when the virtuous man expressed his sympathy, he also showed his attitude of returning to the same place.
This spirit is invaluable:
I was fortunate to see the man in a white hat, emaciated and tormented in prison, full of worries and troubles.
I am fortunate to see the man dressed in white, and I am saddened to see him, and I am with you in your destiny.
I was fortunate enough to see the man dressed in white, and when I saw him, I was filled with sorrow, and I insisted on righteousness as much as you did.
"Xi Youchang Chu" (xĂ): The people in troubled times
In the chaotic world, people fled everywhere, everyone needed to help the old and the young, take their wives and children, and cry constantly along the way. The people's way of living is really not as good as grass and trees, it is better to have a home than to have a home, and it is better to know than to be ignorant. The grass and trees can still be carefree, but the people in the world have ended up like this!
The peach branches on the depression are soft and colorful, the leaf color is smooth, the flowers bear fruit, and they are full of vitality. When someone sees such a scene, they don't feel moved, and they suddenly think of what happened to them, and their hearts suddenly become heavy. He actually let out such an exclamation, feeling that he was not as good as a sheep peach!
Why is it inferior to a peach? It's about having a home and not having a home. As the spirit of all things, man is fortunate in that he has knowledge. The way of men and women, husband and wife, was originally the beginning of human relations, and it is a great blessing in life to be able to enjoy the joy of family. And he happened to make a complete denial on both aspects. How much misfortune he had to suffer, how much pain he had to suffer, to make such an exclamation.
What else can be done besides lamenting:
There are sheep peaches in the depression, and the branches swing in the wind. Soft and smooth, envy you ignorant and comfortable!
There are sheep peaches in the depression, and the flowers are graceful. Soft and glossy, envy you for being homeless and happy!
There are sheep peaches in the depression, and the fruit shakes with the branches. Soft and smooth, envy you for having no room to be free!
"Bandit": I can't return to my hometown, and I feel hurt in my heart
A man who lives in the West and travels far away from the East, he has not been back to his hometown for a long time. As he drove east, the wind whistling in his ears and the dust flying, and his thoughts began to rise further and further from home. He looked back at the road and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. At this time, how he wished that he would have a fellow villager who had returned to the west, so that he could ask his family to report a safe family letter.
He stood on the side of the avenue, and the sight of the carriages and horses galloping past touched his homesickness, and his heart flew to the west with the galloping vehicles. However, when the carriage had passed, it left an empty avenue and he was alone, and the cart left without the man in place. The wind is gone, the car is gone, and others have returned, but I continue to stay here and cannot return to my hometown. He looked at the road, looking helpless, unable to hold back his sorrow, and finally erupted a strong heart: It makes my heart so sad! It makes me feel so miserable!
