The people of Li suffered a calamity, and the calamity did not come from heaven. Gathering in person and hating behind the back, the blame should be borne by the villain.
The sorrow is long and long, and the heart is sad and sick. The people of the world rejoice, but I am deeply troubled. All of them are at ease, but I dare not be idle. As long as Zhou Chao's destiny is there, he doesn't dare to follow his friends and steal peace.
"The Turn of October" is a political grievance poem written by a petty official of the imperial court during the reign of King Youyou of Zhou, who was dissatisfied with the behavior of the emperor and his father in power, regardless of the safety of the society, and only cared about enriching his own pockets.
"Preface to Mao's Poems" believes that this poem was written when King You, and Zheng Xuan believes that it was written when King Li. Ruan Yuan has many refutations of Zheng Xuanzhi's statement in the "Collection of the Sutra Room".
The poem consists of eight chapters, which can be divided into three parts. The first part (the first three chapters) connects solar and lunar eclipses, and strong earthquakes with the court's misemployment, expressing his deep grief and anxiety. The poet does not understand the causes of solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and earthquakes, and thinks that they are warnings from heaven to mankind, so he begins by saying that a solar eclipse occurred on the first day of the tenth month. "The sun is the king", and the people at the end of summer use the sun as a metaphor. The sun is gone, and in the ancients, it was thought to indicate a catastrophe related to the monarchy. The psalmist is shocked to put this incident at the beginning of the poem.
Chapter 2 links the country's political decadence and inhuman use to solar eclipses, and Chapter 3 describes the recent earthquake that had struck recently. The poet's description of these extremely abnormal natural phenomena shows his great concern and fear for the future of his country. The earthquake written in the poem is recorded in history, "Chinese Zhouyu": "In the second year of King You, the West Wednesday River was shaken. "It's the end of the three rivers and the collapse of the Qi landslide. In the poem, "the rivers are boiling, and the mountains and mounds are collapsing; The high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum", so that people still feel thrilled when they read it more than 2,000 years later. The poet's rafter-like pen paints a picture of a huge cataclysm rarely seen in history.
The poem is like a piece of sad and indignant music, and the first part has a strong rhythm, writing about the situation of the poet's divine wrath as he sees it, and the poet's infinite sorrow is entwined in shock and fear. He does not understand why the current rulers do not govern well to stop natural disasters, which naturally leads to the second part of the poem (Chapter 3): reviewing and exposing the countless crimes of the current rulers. The poem lists the emperor's father's parties and nails them to the pillar of shame in history. These people control the government from the inside out, deceiving the superiors and the subordinates. The emperor's father and secretary did not want to govern the country well, but forcibly arrested the servants, collected the people's wealth, disturbed the people and harmed the people, and also said that this kind of behavior was in accordance with the law of etiquette. He devoted all his ingenuity to defending his own interests and those of his family; Seeing that the country was in danger, he had no remorse or a sense of responsibility, and he moved far away from Xiangyi, and brought many nobles and rich people, and even did not leave a useful old minister to the king of Zhou. With such a person in power, there is no reason for the country to be immortal.
The third part (the last two chapters) describes the poet's attitude in the face of natural and man-made disasters. Although he clearly saw the serious crisis of the Zhou Dynasty, he did not run away from the harm, and still worked diligently and dutifully. Among the two types of courtiers, the faithful and the evil, the poet belongs to the category of loyalty; In the internal struggle of the ruling class, the poet again belongs to the category of defeat. So, to a certain extent, the fate of the poet is the same as the fate of the nation. In the poem, the poet laments the misfortune of the individual, the corruption, darkness and injustice of politics, and in fact the fate of the country. Therefore, this part is related to the first two parts. The poet powerfully expresses the theme of worrying about the country from three perspectives.
The whole poem starts from the terrible disaster of the darkness of the sky and the overturning of the mountains and rivers, talks about the dictatorship of the bad guys in the imperial court and the precariousness of the country, and then talks about the personal choice in the face of such a situation, which makes people feel the tragic feelings of the poet "knowing that he can't do it", and opens the precedent of Qu Yuan's spirit of "being innocent and dying straight". It is a political lyric poem that is full of content and emotional. It and other political lyric poems in the Book of Songs have an undeniable influence on the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, but this poem is realistic in its creative technique. Because the poet knew the situation of the imperial court well, because of the poet's irrepressible grief and indignation, and because the poet wrote about it after the solar eclipse, which seemed to be a very important disaster at the time, there are many facts in the poem, and some facts are directly written. From this point of view, it is also an epic, and in this respect it has a profound influence on Du Fu's works such as "Five Hundred Words of Yonghuai from Beijing to Fengxian County".
The language of this poem is basically written bluntly, gushing out, and the language is very expressive, such as saying that when the emperor father and others bully the people's land, they use "give not to kill, and the etiquette is the same" to fully express their strong rhetoric and arrogance.
year, the seventh year of King Zhou You, (south) Yu people extinguished.
As mentioned earlier: King Wen of Zhou's two younger brothers were respectively named the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu by King Wu of Zhou, Yu Zhong was named Xiyu (Chencang District, Baoji, Shaanxi), and Uncle Yu was named Dongyu (Bishui Town, Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan), as a barrier between the east and west sides of Zong Zhou.
Xiyujun served in the dynasty in successive dynasties, and there are many documentary records. For example, the Duke of Yucheng when King Mu of Zhou, the Duke of Yu who attacked the Rong of Taiyuan when King Yi of Zhou, the Duke of Yu who cut down Huaiyi when King Li of Zhou, the Duke of Yuwen who did not live with thousands of acres when King Xuan of Zhou, and the father of Yu Shi who corrupted the government when King You of Zhou.
During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, Xiyu moved east due to the infestation of the dogs. There is a small one left in the original place (Chencang District, Baoji, Shaanxi), which was destroyed by the Qin State in 687 BC (according to the "Historical Records of the Qin Dynasty").
Most of Xiyu moved eastward to Sanmenxia, Henan, and built the capital Shangyang (Sanmenxia urban area), spanning both sides of the Yellow River, known as Nanyu in history. The economy and culture of the country are developed, and the people of the tribe can fight well. Most of the monarchs held important official positions in the Zhou Dynasty, and were greatly appreciated and respected by the Zhou Emperor, and participated in many major historical events from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period, which had a significant impact on the rise, development and decline of the Zhou Dynasty.
Jiao State is the feudal state of the prince of Zhou, the son of Zhao Gong (Ji surname, the same surname of Zhou), and the state is in Shaanzhou District, Sanmenxia, Henan. After moving eastward, Xiyu, that is, Nanyu, annexed Jiao in the seventh year of King Youyou of Zhou. This is the first vassal state to be annexed without the consent of the Son of Heaven since the Zhou Dynasty, which shows that the prestige of the Son of Zhou has been unable to deter all the princes, especially the vassal states such as the State of Yu and the State of Zheng in important positions in the imperial court.
