Appreciation and Translation of Han Yu's Shigu Song

Often handed me this tracing picture, which was taken from the stone drum, and suggested that I try the stone drum music. Du Fu is gone. Li Bai is dead. What can my poor talent do for Shigu? . When the power of the Zhou Dynasty was weak and people's grievances in China were boiling, Emperor Xuandi was furious and waved his sacred spear. And open his big audience, accept all the tributes, and kings and lords come before him with sonorous weapons. Yu Qi Yang Cheng Xiong Jun, birds and animals fall three thousand li. This discovery was recorded and told the new generation that these drums were cut from protruding cliffs and made of stone. Poets and craftsmen, all the first steps, creation and chisel-set in the mountains. It's raining, moxibustion, wildfire burning, ghosts guarding you. oh Where will he find the trace on this paper? Loyal to the original, without changing a hair. The meaning is deep, the phrase is obscure and difficult to read, and the style of the characters is neither square nor tadpole-shaped. Time has not conquered the beauty of these letters, and the sword is sharp. Like a phoenix dance, like an angel hovering down, like a jade coral tree with staggered branches. Such as a golden chain of iron, tied tightly, such as a fragrant tripod thrown into the sea, such as a dragon ascending to heaven. Historians forgot to collect these ancient poems in order to make the music songs of the two books more colorful and compelling. Confucius traveled in the west, but not to Qin. He chose our planet and stars, but missed the sun and the moon. It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I can't help crying when I think of these beautiful things. I remember that when I was awarded the highest degree, it was the first year of Yuanhe. A friend of mine, who was in the western camp at that time, offered to help me remove these ancient relics. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and then made a request to the headmaster, stressing to him the rarity of these most precious things. They can be wrapped in blankets and packed in boxes. Ten barrels can only hold a few camels. Like a high incense burner, add luster to the palace, otherwise their brilliance and value will increase by a hundredfold. If the monarch shows them to universities, students can study them and decipher them without doubt. Many people, attracted to the cultural capital, will soon gather from all corners of the empire. We can wash the moss, pick out the dirt, restore the original surface and put them in a suitable and safe place forever. Covered by a huge building with a wide eaves, where they won't suffer as before. But government officials are used to their ways and will never go beyond the old precedent. So the shepherd boy beats the drum to make a fire, and the cow rubs the horns on it. Who will start rubbing again? Still aging and rotting, they may be erased soon. For six years, I have been sighing for them and singing to the west. The familiar handwriting of Wang Xizhi, although beautiful, can have several pages, only for a few white geese. But now, eight generations after the week, all the wars are over, why doesn't anyone care about these drums? The empire is peaceful, the government is free, poets are respected again, Confucianism and men. Anneng is still on the list, and it really needs an eloquent flow, just like a cataract. But, alas, my voice, in my song of stone drums, turned into a pleading voice choked by my own tears.

Translation and Annotation Translation of Shigu Holding the rubbings of the Zhou Dynasty, he advised me to write a poem "Shigu Song" to praise it. Du Fu and Li Bai are both talented, but they are both dead. People with no talent are helpless in the face of stone drums. The political decline of the Zhou Dynasty plunged the whole country into chaos. Zhou Xuanwang was very angry and improved his army. During the celebration, the opening ceremony was celebrated, and the princes followed, and the swords jingled. Wang Xuan was awesome when he was hunting in Qiyang. Animals were trapped everywhere. In order to make the heroic work go down in history, the stone drum was carved and destroyed. The talent of followers is the first in the world. Choose excellent writing stones and put them on the hillside. Let years of rain, sun and wildfire burn, and protect the stone drum with ghosts and gods. Where did you get the manuscript of this rubbings? It's complete at all, and there are no mistakes at all. The wording is rigorous, the content is secret and difficult to understand, and the font is not as unique as Lishu. After a long time, it is inevitable that the strokes will be damaged and mutilated, and they will still cut off a living jiaozi like a sword. The handwriting is like a couple flying in the air, and the strokes are like the branches of a coral tree. The vigorous hook is like a golden rope and iron rope passing through the lock button, and it is like weaving a shuttle to turn a dragon into a dragon. My humble opinion is that Confucian scholars compile the Book of Songs without earning money, and the content of elegance and vulgarity is narrow and not magnificent. No wonder grandson didn't go to Qin and was ignorant. It's not like picking stars, but missing Xi. Well, although I am old, I was born too late. I was crying in Shi Guwen. I was called Dr. imperial academy at that time, and I was called Yuanhe when I was changing my age. My friend worked in Fengxiang House and once designed and excavated stone drums and pits for me. I brushed my hat, took a shower and asked imperial academy to propose a toast: "How many such treasures can there be in the world? As long as the mat is wrapped in felt, it can be delivered immediately, and only a few camels need to carry ten stone drums. Is it too much to dedicate it to the ancestral temple and compare it to a composition that is a hundred times more expensive than a tripod? If the emperor stays in business school, students can study and explain together. In the Han Dynasty, when the temple in Hongdumen was still crowded, we would see that the whole country was rushing for it. Gouge out the moss, mud and dust to reveal the edges and corners of the text, and put it flat, stable and impartial. High-rise buildings are thick tiles and deep eaves, which will not be damaged by accidents for a long time. " The officials in the DPRK are all cunning and have no opinions. Will they run around excitedly? The shepherd boy drummed on the drum and honed his horn with it. Who can touch this treasure with their hands? The weathering of years will be buried. Looking west for six years, I sighed! Wang Xizhi took the opportunity to show his calligraphy charm and wrote several pictures in exchange for a group of white geese. A week later, the Eighth Generation War ended, and no one has cleaned it up so far. What can we do? Now the world is at peace, the country is at peace and the people are at peace. The emperor attached great importance to Confucianism and respected Kong Qiu Mencius. How can I suggest this to the emperor? I'm willing to use a glib tongue to do it. Even if the stone drum song is written here, it will be over. Oh, my wish may come to nothing!

This poem was written in the sixth year of Yuanhe (8 1 1), expressing the poet's love for the treasure and protection of ancient cultural relics. Shi Guwen described in the poem is the earliest stone carving in China and a precious ancient cultural relic in China. With the unique sensitivity of writers and historians, the poet saw its significance to the study of China's ancient literature and history, and shouted for attention, hoping to move to North Korea. The poem also mercilessly mocked important North Korean officials and "rude Confucianism". As far as his poems are concerned, no matter praise or satire, the purpose is only to emphasize the importance of preserving and studying the stone drum and Shi Guwen, and think that this is a rare "treasure" that should be shipped back from that desolate place and left in Imperial College London, "where students can study them and decipher them without doubt" to avoid the sun and rain, and children should knock on the horns of the bull to carry out their "still aging and rotting, and they may be erased soon" So I made a song, calling loudly, hoping that the court would pay attention to it and be gracious. However, there are endless complaints, ranging from satirizing "Chinese and Korean officials" and "crude Confucianism" to dissatisfaction with "Confucius traveled in the west, but he did not reach Qin, and he chose our planet and our stars but missed the sun and moon". This poem is mainly aimed at the court's neglect of such extremely precious cultural relics, which may have a deeper feeling. When describing the beauty of Shi Guwen's calligraphy, the poet used a variety of metaphors to render it incisively and vividly, which was quite infectious.

The stone carving is the earliest stone carving in China, which was made in Qin Dynasty. The content describes the hunting situation, and the text is Da Zhuan. What Han Zai did. Its real object is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

The poet lamented that the stone drum cultural relics were abandoned and urged the authorities to protect the stone drum and not to use it, thus complaining. The first four sentences always start from scratch. I am ashamed that I dare not write songs without Du Li's talent. Twelve sentences in "Zhou Gang" trace the history of stone drums. The ten sentences of "Public Obedience" describe Shi Guwen's characters and fonts and their preservation value. "Rough Confucianism" six sentences, is the Book of Songs did not accept Shi Guwen's suspicion, is the carelessness of Confucius. Eighteen sentences in Memories of Time Past are about the discovery of stone drums and suggestions for leaving imperial academy. Ten sentences in "China and North Korea" are that the Syrian authorities refused to accept the poet's suggestion and lamented the abolition of the stone drum cultural relics. The six sentences in Jin Fang hope that Shigu can move to imperial academy in the era of respecting Confucianism.

The composition is neat, the words are rigorous and dense, and the rhyme is clear.

Appreciation of Shigu Song The excavation of Shigu was mentioned by Du Fu in Li Chaoba's Biography of Small Powder before Han Yu. Since then, although Wei wrote a "Shigu Song", due to lack of enthusiasm and literary talent, I am afraid that his subordinates have also included it in Wei's "Suzhou Collection". It's just that the phrase "This is the history of Minister Xuan Wang" in his poem opened the door to the Millennium lawsuit of which generation this drum belongs to. It was not until Han Yu's masterpiece came out that the "light price" of stone drums was greatly promoted and improved in the minds of future generations. Today, it has been over 1000 years since Han Yu wrote songs. Although there is no finished word, the Ten Stone Drum is still displayed in the Palace Museum as a first-class cultural relic, thanks to Han Yu's call sign.

The first four sentences are as clear as words, pointing out the origin of words. In these four sentences, the word "stone drum" seems dull and procrastinating, but it is not. Han Yu pioneered the use of prose to write poems. He didn't shy away from the same words, which is the habit of ancient Chinese prose. The word "persuasion" is used accurately here, which saves the poet a lot of hesitant subtext and idle pen and ink, and one word dominates the rest of the effect. Han Yu has always boasted that "the stone opens the way" (Li Shangyin's "Hanbei"), but he is ashamed of it, which shows that it is profound and difficult to understand.

From Zhou Chisihai Boiling to Ghost Wake? Ah "is a paragraph. The first ten sentences are the poet's imagination of Zhou Xuanwang's royal revival, the existence of maritime empire, hunting pursuit, fame and achievements. Words such as "boiling", "anger", "big", "better", "Wan Li" and "forever" are used to show the grandeur and magnificence of the extreme scene. Han Yu inherited the saying that Wei was the year, which has profound historical reasons. Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power has been greatly weakened. Due to the vassal separatist regime, eunuch's autocratic power, foreign aggression, minister's suspicion, and various social contradictions intensified, the Li and Tang Dynasties declined rapidly. After Xian Zong ascended the throne, he adopted the policy of leveling the buffer region and restraining eunuchs, which made the national politics show signs of revival. Seeing the similarity of history, the poet naturally merged into his own political ideal while praising Zhou Xuanwang's great talent. At the beginning of Xian Zong's accession to the throne, Han Yu wrote a passionate poem "Poetry of Harmony and Morality" after pacifying Liu Pi, our ambassador to Jiannan, praising the wisdom and decisiveness of the emperor who succeeded him. Therefore, the description of this poem "Shigu Song" conveys the poet's hope to revive the decadent program in order to achieve the situation of respecting the king and resisting foreign countries. "Washed by rain, baked by the sun and burned by wildfire" is the key to connecting the preceding with the following. It is a brief description of the disaster that has been circulating in Shigu for thousands of years. The poet thinks that it is unthinkable that the stone drum can be well preserved without the care of ghosts and gods. Only in this way, the stone drum itself is a rare treasure in other cultural relics. A few strokes paved the way for the following cut-in interpretation. The next sentence of 14 is specifically for Shi Guwen. The profundity of the writing and the simplicity of the font make Dr. Wang, a "good guy", feel refreshed and beautiful. Even if the denudation is mottled, he can't help but admire it. In those Gu Zhuo's handwriting, the poet indulged the aesthetic consciousness: beautiful lines are more like couples dancing together, and Yunjun comes; Interactive stippling makes people feel like they are in the Dragon Palace Shuifu with many corals. The power of the pen reminds him of the power of gold rope and iron rope; It seems that only Ding Yu can fly out of the water and out of the wall to convey his charm. The original static book "Trace Hua Song" has a vivid image, and he can't help but immerse himself in the transcendental enjoyment of beauty. The acquisition of aesthetic feeling depends on the depth of aesthetic experience. Although Han has never seen "dancing like a phoenix, hovering like an angel", it is not uncommon to see birds singing and dancing in real life. Ordinary people may only use ordinary language to express themselves, but poets are good at weaving landscapes into complex pictures with romantic imagination. For Shi Guwen, Han Yu is not satisfied with the positive description. He denounced vulgar Confucianism and deeply regretted Confucius, just to get the effect of clouds shining on the moon. Later generations did not know this, so they were criticized by rubber columns and drums. For example, there are four clouds in Mai's "Rong Zhai Essays": "Scholars are literary, and their words are exaggerated, although Chinese writers are inevitable. For example, the song of Shigu tells a great story about the king. It says, "Confucius traveled in the west, but not in Qin. He chose our planet and stars, but missed the sun and the moon. Historians forgot to collect these ancient poems in order to make the music songs of the two books more colorful and compelling. It means that 300 poems are like stars, and this poem alone is like the sun and the moon. The word "stone drum" handed down from this world is still there. How can it be the right of "lucky day" and "car attack"? Isn't An Zhi deleted by a saint? However, as long as we look at the "difficult to read" and "difficult to learn" sentences in Korean poetry, we will know that the poet's words are just artistic exaggeration. The deeper the so-called hatred, the stronger the love, and that's all. This passage is the essence of the whole poem, because it controls the thinking in the image, conveys rich aesthetic feelings to readers, and makes them strongly infected.

The last paragraph is from "I am fond of the past, born too late" to the end. This passage, combined with the poet's own life experience, has both recollection and discussion, but more reveals a touch of melancholy and deep regret. In literature, Han Yu took it as his duty to "overcome all difficulties and turn the tide in the East" (Jin Xuejie). In order to correct the disadvantages of the times, he advocated worshipping the past. Therefore, he strongly praised Shi Guwen, which should also be an integral part of this literary purpose. He is a doctor, "his job is exegesis" (Yuan He Sheng De Shi), and his duty is to protect the stone drum. To this end, I asked my old friend to measure the potholes, prepared for the placement, and solemnly reported to my boss that the placement of the "treasure" was a breeze. However, the ruthless reality shattered his good wishes-the vegetarian masters only care about promotion and wealth, and are not "grateful" (excited) for the stone drums. Here, the word "old" vividly outlines the insensitive and groggy appearance. Seeing that the stone drum continues to erode and is doomed to extinction, the poet is really worried. Although it is advertised as Confucianism now, I am afraid it will not help. When Song said this, he couldn't help but feel disheartened and sighed. This passage is desolate and gloomy, which makes people feel that the poet is not only lamenting the misfortune of Shigu, but also lamenting the lowliness of cold Confucianism. In order to contrast the absurdity of reality, the poet also used two allusions, which were particularly profound and powerful. The first one is Cai Yong. In the fourth year of Xiping in the later Han Dynasty (175), Emperor Ling was dissatisfied with the confusion of words at that time, and ordered Cai Yong, Tang Xidian, etc. to be carved by Cai Shudan and placed in front of Hongdu, and the vehicles that came to watch every day blocked the streets. The second is Wang Xizhi. Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty loved the swan neck and saw Chinese people raising geese in the mountains. Taoist wrote a book, Tao Te Ching, and gave it to each other. Cai Wang is both a scholar, but the former is good at official script, while the latter is good at official script. These two scripts, which were written much later than Shi Guwen, are still so beautiful. Why should the authorities ignore Shigu? The ingenious use of allusions has played an enlightening role.

This long poem has a rhyme at the end, like a long river flowing down, and the waves are scouring the old. There are many vague words in poetry, which are sonorous, stirring and catchy, making them feel that there is a lingering breath spreading between the lines. If we evaluate this line with the praise of "drive it with momentum, lift it with thunder, go far, and set it in the boundless universe" (the new biography of Han Yu, a talented person in Tang Dynasty), we will naturally feel that it is by no means a hollow reputation.

The Creation Background of "Shigu Song" This poem was written in the 6th year of Yuanhe in Tang Xianzong (8 1 1). Shi Guwen is the earliest stone carving in China, which was made in the Qin Dynasty. What does Han Yu think Zhou Xuanwang did? The content describes the hunting situation, and the text is Da Zhuan. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the stone drum was unearthed in Sanyuan Courtyard of Tianxing County (now Baoji, Shaanxi Province). Its real object is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. If this stone drum had been unearthed in modern times, it would have shocked China and foreign countries as a "new archaeological discovery", but it was surprisingly bleak at that time. Because in the eyes of the imperial court, they are just a few pieces of moss-covered garbage, so their suffering is comparable to that of a county like Rockett. Han Yu lamented that the stone drum cultural relics were abandoned and called on the authorities to protect the stone drum and not to adopt it. So, he complained bitterly and wrote a long poem "Song of the Stone Drum". Poetry: Shi Gu Song Ci Author: Yu Poetry Classification: 300 Tang poems, titles,
