After dinner, I continued to pick up "The Great Qin Empire". I saw Qu Yuan defeating Qin in the Danshui Valley (southeast of Qin Wuguan) on the border of Qin and Chu. This battle did not describe the details of the battle in detail, and directly wrote the ending of the war: The Chu State's had about 100,000 troops. Among them, the most powerful 80,000 core troops in Chu State were all killed in battle, and the chief general committed suicide by cesarean section. More than 100,000 Qin army died about 60,000.
When burying the fallen soldiers in Chu State, Qu Yuan wore a robes and sprinkled wine in front of the altar. He felt sad and couldn't help crying loudly. Everyone in the Chu army cried, and the crying filled the river valley. Qu Yuan climbed the altar with the crying everywhere, singing passionately -
I have loyalty and martyrdom for the ages
The warrior died and could not return to his hometown
Yunmeng fishing boat farewell to
Bloody battlefield
Clouds flying
Wave Wu hook and take Qin bow
blood stained armor, big flag, red
body and head separated, heaven and earth stunning
homeland, sincere ambition
heart is noble and can not be overtaken
son soul is ghost hero
out of nowhere and go back
plain suddenly road is super
The warriors go away and the pillars are broken.
How can the national sorrow be...
After reading this passage, I couldn't help but close the book. He was confused and meditated at the four eye-catching words on the book cover, ", the Qin Empire, ".
More than one hundred thousand people will die in one battle! In one battle, how could only kill more than 100,000 soldiers? Behind them, tens of thousands or more families "dead". Parents have no son, wives have no husband, and children have no father. It really makes people feel palpitations , angina, and heartache.
And in history, how many battles are there or less than or out of this scale! well! History, war, is really terrifying...
A few minutes later, my brain woke up from my meditation.
stood up and looked out the window. The moon was in the sky and the buildings were bright. The children's pursuit and laughter in the community were still floating.
Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
Compared with the war years, the peace time is so precious now. Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is coming soon, and the family has made various preparations for family reunion. For ordinary people, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a normal festival similar to other holidays. But for those special families, especially those who have just experienced changes, man-made disasters or natural disasters, and their relatives suddenly leave, what kind of special and sad days is the Mid-Autumn Festival?
I remembered the words of Naran Xingde :
"The blue sea every year, who can I ask, who will get the ice wheel? Blowing the fragrance of autumn, the clear light is as clear as snow. Look in sorrow, the good night of kindness, know everything will be accomplished. Sorrow. Only the shadow is now, the bright moon is worthy of the past.
In the flower path, playing hide-and-seek, once caused the leaves of Xiaoxiaojing. Do you remember the light silk fan, and the cold and hot. Only the ending is full of all the feelings , It's always absent, it's not about parting. The purple jade is ruthless, and the night is cold. "The poem "
was excerpted here, and I repeated it several times, and the more I read it, the more sad I feel. Thinking about the new crown epidemic in recent years, thinking about the recent wars of some countries in the world, thinking about the recent Sichuan earthquake , thinking about various accidents in weekday news...
How many people accidentally lost their relatives and lovers, how many families Mid-Autumn Festival night The moon is full and people are no longer round.
I sorted out the explanation of this poem and put it below for myself and everyone to appreciate it more carefully.
Pipa Xian·Mid-Autumn
Qing Dynasty.Naran Xingde
In the vast night, looking up at the sky The Mid-Autumn Festival is full, the scenery is so beautiful. However, it is touched by the scene and makes me feel sad. The sun and the moon are constantly reincarnated, and the spring flowers and autumn moons are year by year, but these will only increase your worries.
The autumn wind blowing from somewhere brings a scent of fragrance. The clear light of the moon enveloped the lonely air around it, as cold as ice and snow. And what is cold is not Qinghui, but the wounded heart.
Looking back on the past, I used to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the night under the moon. Nowadays, things have changed, how can you bear to see this like the bright moon in the past?
Under the bright moon, in the fragrant bushes, playing with your loved ones, the leaves of the sycamore slowly fall, the indulgent laughter and the intimate roar are loud and loud under the moonlight.
However, time flies, and the little fan shook lightly and shook for several more times. Those who left should not chase after it. Now they are independent in the middle of the night, and they are full of feelings. The bright moon was still the bright moon at that time, and the bright light did not diminish. The moon is full like a mirror in Mid-Autumn Festival. It is the time when relatives gather together, but the heart is as desolate as the desert. Even if the purple jade blew into pieces, it is difficult to relieve the longing and sorrow in my heart.
(End)
PS: The moon has phases, and people have joys and sorrows. Remember those who have left and cherish those who are still around you. This Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what others are, I sincerely wish you: Happy Holidays!
