reminds me of a recent news item "The Remains of 913 Volunteers in South Korea Returned to China in the Past 9 Years".
So, I remembered Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs: National Martyrdom".
"National mourning" means those who died in battle for the country. This is also a sacrificial song, and unlike the other sacrificial songs in the Nine Songs, this song is a tribute to the dead soldiers, not to the various nature gods. There is no vanilla beauty, gods and witches Q&A, and sentimentality that are customary in "Chu Ci Nine Songs", but directly talks about the battlefield situation, which is awe-inspiring and straightforward, just like the spiritual outlook of a soldier killing the enemy and the cruel scene of bloodstained battlefield blood. Its content is:
Holding a sharp Wu Ge, wearing a hard rhinoceros armor,
Staggered with the enemy's chariots, hand-to-hand combat
The banner covers the sun, the enemy is like a cloud, the arrows are falling one after another, and the soldiers are scrambling to be the first
The enemy bullied our formation, trampled on our horses, and the side horse on the left was killed, and the blade wounded the side horse on the right
Stuck in the wheels, the four horses were forcibly chained, and the commander beat the mallet and beat the drum to motivate the soldiers
At that time, the heavenly statue was angry, Wei Ling was furious, and he fought cruelly, and all the bones were abandoned in the field
When I first set out on the expedition, I didn't want to survive, and the plains were so small that it was a long way
With a long sword and a good bow from Qin, his body and head were separated, and he did not hesitate
Honest and mighty, always strong
Though men die, and become gods, your souls are worthy of ghosts
The original text is like this:
Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and short-handed.
The sun covers the enemy like a cloud, and the arrows and fallen soldiers compete for the first.
Ling Yu staggered for the rest of his life, and his left side was injured and his right blade was injured.
The haze is two rounds and four horses, and the jade is beating the drum.
The days are full of power and anger, and they are all killed and abandoned in the wilderness.
Can't get in and out, and the plains are far away.
With a long sword, he carried the Qin bow, and his head was not punished.
Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible.
The body is dead and the spirit is the spiritThe soul of the child is a ghost!
In the year of Qu Yuan's birth, Chu and Qin fought many times, most of them were defeated and returned, and the land was ceded and reparated, and even the famous general of the Qin State Bai Qi destroyed the Yingdu of the Chu State, causing the Chu family to move eastward. Therefore, this piece of music may be a tribute to the fallen soldiers at the same time, but also a desire to wash away the shame of the country.
Whatever the kind of hope, the cruelty of the battlefield is reflected in this music, with galloping horses, hand-to-hand soldiers, flags covering the sun, and corpses abandoned in the wilderness. If it weren't for the heart of death, brave and resolute, it would be difficult to survive on the battlefield for a few minutes, and the body would have been separated.
The battlefield of guns and bombs is also the Shura field where death is rampant, and every volunteer has relatives and friends behind him, and the sacrifice of each volunteer is also the love of relatives and friends.
The sacrifice of countless volunteers is the love of this country.
Commemorating them is not only to commend their bravery, but also to commemorate peace and let the world cherish peace.
The soul of the child is a ghost!, are words of generosity. I believe that his family hopes that he can be an ordinary person and stay by his family's side.
It's okay to chatter......
