In the Tang Dynasty, that poetic prosperous era, literati and ink writers used the pen as a sword, splashing ink to rebuke Fang Xuan. Du Fu, with beautiful words, was one of the most dazzling poets of that era. His poems, like the wind that has passed through thousands of years, are still stirring today. However, in the long river of history, there is a poem by Du Fu that has become a secret tool for the transmission of information hundreds of years later.
This poem is called "Spring Hope", and it has been given a new life in the war-torn era. The content of the poem goes like this:
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring.
When I feel the tears, I hate the birds.
The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.
The whitehead scratching is shorter, and the hairpin is overwhelming.
These four lines of poetry were widely circulated at the time, but because of their subtle and profound meanings, they became the carriers of information exchange. Among them, "Beacon Fire for March" refers to the continuous war; "Family letters are worth 10,000 dollars" expresses people's concern for the safety of their families, implying the importance of information; And "white-headed scratching is shorter" reveals the accumulation of years of ruthlessness and sorrow.
Hundreds of years later, when the country was once again in turmoil, a secret intelligence network quietly formed among the people. They chose "Spring Hope" as the code book, and each line of the poem corresponds to a specific message. For example, "the country is broken by mountains and rivers" means "the situation is critical but hope remains", and "the city is deep in spring and grass" means "the situation in the city is complex and needs to be cautious". In this way, even if the enemy's intelligence ** intercepts these seemingly ordinary verses, it is difficult to detect the true meaning behind them.
In the story, there is a scholar named Lin Yifeng, who is a loyal patriot and a member of this intelligence network. His cousin, Lu Xingzhi, was a general on the frontier. The two have been brothers and sisters since childhood, but now they can't see each other because of the war.
One day, Lin Yifeng received news that the border pass where Lu Xingzhi was located was in danger and needed reinforcements urgently. However, this news cannot be said explicitly, otherwise once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. As a result, Lin Yifeng decided to personally pass on the information to the liaison between the DPRK and China.
He assumed the alias Li Mubai, and carefully avoided the enemy's search along the way. After several days of trekking, I finally arrived in the capital. In an inconspicuous teahouse, Lin Yifeng meets a liaison who seems to be an ordinary literati. The two sat opposite each other and tasted tea, ostensibly chatting about poetry and songs, but in fact they were exchanging life-and-death information.
Lin Yifeng chanted softly: "The country is broken by mountains and rivers." The liaison person bowed his head slightly and replied: "The city is deep in spring grass and trees. Between this question and answer, a signal of urgent help has been transmitted.
The liaison person knew the importance of this information, and immediately arranged for the carrier pigeon to be sent to the secret agent in the capital. Soon, the imperial court learned of this and quickly dispatched elite troops to the border pass, and a disaster was averted.
Afterwards, Lu Xingzhi was very emotional when he learned about it. He wrote a poem and sent it to Lin Yifeng, who was far away: "In the past, he joked about the afterlife, but now he is really a dreamer." The picturesque rivers and mountains are still waiting to be guarded, and the brothers can break the gold with one heart. ”
Lin Yifeng received the poetry letter, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that although he was just an ordinary scholar, he also did his part to protect his family and defend the country in this war without gunpowder.
This is the story behind "Spring Hope", a legend of friendship, wisdom and courage. It teaches us that even the weakest strokes can write with indestructible strength. And in the long river of history, those times embellished by poetry will always shine brightly.
In this story, Du Fu's poems are no longer just treasures in the literary world, they have become a bridge connecting the soul and a messenger of hope. Whether in turbulent times or in peaceful and tranquil days, these verses will continue to be sung, because they carry not only words, but also eternal emotions and wisdom of human beings.
