At the beginning of 1949, the offensive of the People's Liberation Army was devastating, and the Nanjing Kuomintang was about to collapse.
On February 15, 1949, Xinhua News Agency published a commentary written by *** entitled "Why Do Divided Reactionaries Still Shouting 'Comprehensive Peace'?"In the article, ** wrote:
The reactionary rule of the Kuomintang collapsed faster than one might expect. Now it is only more than four months before the PLA conquers Jinan and three months before the PLA conquers Shenyang, but all the remnants of the Kuomintang's military, political, economic, and cultural propaganda forces have fallen into an irretrievable state of disintegration and disintegration. ......Chiang Kai-shek continued to command the remnants of his forces in Fenghua as an "opposition", but he had lost his legitimacy and fewer and fewer people believed in him. Sun Ke's "Executive Yuan" automatically announced that it would "move to Guangzhou," and on the one hand, it broke away from its "Legislative Yuan" and "Supervisory Yuan" on the other hand. Sun Ke's "Executive Yuan" called for war, but the "Ministry of National Defense" that fought the war was neither in Guangzhou nor Nanjing, and its spokesman was only known as Shanghai. In this way, all Li Zongren could see on the stone city was "the sky is low, and his eyes are empty". None of the orders Li Zongren has issued since he took the stage on 21 last month have been implemented.The 8 words quoted here "the sky is low Wu Chu, and the eyes are empty" are from Sadula's "Nian Nujiao Dengshi City", which says:
On the stone city, looking at the sky is low, and there is nothing in the eyes. Pointing to the six dynasties shaped resort, only the green mountains are like walls. Covering the sun and flags, even the clouds and trees, the white bones are like snow. A river north and south, how many heroes are consumed.The former site of Stone Town is in Qingliang Mountain in Jinling (now Nanjing City), which was the capital of the Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties. The rivers and mountains here are magnificent, the market is prosperous, the rise and fall are replaced, the morning clouds and twilight rain, there are many places of interest and historic sites, and the people and inkmen of the past generations have chanted endlessly.Lonely summer retreat, east wind road, grass every year. In the sunset, there is no pine path, and the ghost fire is high and low. In front of the singing and dancing, in the prosperous mirror, the blue hair is darkly changed. Sad for eternity, Qinhuai has a bright moon.
In the third year of Yuan Wenzong's reign (1332), Sa Dura was appointed as the imperial history of the Jiangnan Zhudao and moved to Jinling. When traveling around Jinling, I saw the historical sites vaguely, the past lingered, the poetry surged, and left a lot of poems about Jinling, this "Nian Nujiao Dengshi City" is one of the masterpieces.
Sadura (c. 1272-1355) was a poet, painter, and calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty. The word Tianxi, the number is straight. ** It has been said that he is Mongolian, and some sources say that he is Hui. His ancestors were from the Western Regions, and he was born in Yanmen (present-day Dai County, Shanxi). In his early years, his family was poor, but his qualifications were super high. In the fourth year of Taiding (1327), he ascended to Jinshidi. Awarded the Hanlin script, promoted the imperial history of Nantai, and moved to the left of Zhenjiang to record the affairs of Dalu Huachi, tired of moving to the south of the Yangtze River to serve the imperial history, and left to move to the northwest of Huai Province. In his later years, he lived in Hangzhou.
During his tenure, Sadura went south to Wuchu, west to Jingchu, north to Youyan, Shangdu and other places, and sang poems and texts with Zhang Yu, Ni Zhan, Ma Jiugao and others, and wrote famous works such as "Manjianghong, Jinling Nostalgia", "Nian Nujiao, Dengshi City", "Dengbei Gucheng Tower", "The Ballad of the Mane Girl". Because he traveled north and south, he contained thousands of miles of scenic spots in his chest. With the temperament of the northerners, it blends the strengths of the previous generations without following the predecessors.
During his lifetime, Sadura left behind nearly 800 poems. Because he was born in Yanmen, his poetry collection was also named "Yanmen Collection", and he himself was called "Yanmen Genius". Later generations highly respected him and listed him as the crown of the Yuan generation.
Nian Nujiao Dengshi City" was created by following the original rhyme of Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao and Da Jiangdong Go" in the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole word ascends to the heights to enjoy the scenery, that is, the eyes are magnificent, the style is elegant, the pen is dignified, the realm is magnificent, and it can be called the treasure of the word forest of the atmosphere and the majestic sorrow.
At the beginning of the three sentences, the lyricist started from the big place and was born, stretching the magnificent feelings of climbing high and looking far away in the majestic and vast universe time and space.
Stone Town on the "point landing location, start to solve the problem, and the pen is extraordinary." "The sky is low", write the distance of the view;"Wu Chu" writes about the vastness of the territory. There is a word "Wang" in front of it, indicating that although Stone Town is the former capital of the Six Dynasties, the "Six Generations of Prosperity" has been empty. The two sentences of "pointing" inherit "the eyes are empty" to further describe the decline of "six generations of prosperity". The former "Six Dynasties Shape Victory" is no longer seen, which not only shows the decline of the prosperity of the Six Dynasties, but also further implements the word "empty" in the "empty eyes", and the pen is dense.
The five sentences of "covering the sun" turn from the present to the past, from the real to the virtual, to the description of the division between the north and the south of the six dynasties. Looking back, the rulers of the Six Dynasties, in order to compete for the world, took the Yangtze River as the boundary, attacked each other, I don't know how many soldiers turned into bones, and I don't know how many heroes and heroes "wasted" their precious youth. These five sentences not only reflect the cruelty of the rulers of the past dynasties attacking each other, but also reveal the reasons for the decline of the "six generations of prosperity", which is vivid and profound, and makes people have endless evocativeness.
Xia Yin writes about the demise of the Six Dynasties after the prosperity, and further expresses the poet's deep and vast historical consciousness and life feelings.
The first five sentences, extremely written about the dark depression of the Forbidden City of the Six Dynasties, the old emperors' summer palace has been lonely, the "chariot road" is overgrown with wild grass year after year, and the pine path is empty after night, "the ghost fire is high and low". The description of these characteristic scenes reflects the deep pain and sorrow in the heart of the lyricist when he hangs on the past and the present.
Next, in the three sentences of "singing and dancing, in the prosperous mirror, secretly changing green and green hair", the lyricist expressed his sentimental feelings about the here and now. At that time, Sa Dula was an official in Jinling, and he lived a prosperous life, often with gold bottles of fine wine, and beautiful women danced with him. But the lyricist did not indulge in the red light. He took a self-portrait in the mirror, and was shocked to see his green hair changing and aging day by day. The reason why the lyricist is so sad is not only because of the passage of his time and the shortness of his life, but also because of his deep thinking about the rise and fall of history. "Sad for eternity, Qinhuai is a bright moon", looking back on the past through the ages, only to face the bright moon of Qinhuai, secretly "sad".
In "Why Do Divided Reactionaries Still Shouting "Comprehensive Peace"?".The article cleverly borrowed the phrase "The sky is low, and the eyes are emptyThese two sentences imply that the Kuomintang regime, which also has its capital in Jinling, will collapse and be completely defeated under the mighty and majestic offensive of the People's Liberation Army, and will be swept into the garbage heap of history by the mighty torrent of the people's revolution, just like the six dynasties in the past. At the same time, he also bitterly ridiculed the bleak situation of "Dai **" Li Zongren, who had nothing, had no plan to deal with, and was embarrassed.
Sadura also created another nostalgic poem with the theme of Jinling, the former capital of the Six Dynasties, "Manjianghong Jinling Nostalgia", which said:
Six generations of luxury, spring is gone, and there is no news. Empty hope, mountains and rivers win, is no longer the past. Wang Xie Tang is a double swallow in front of him, and he once knew each other at the mouth of Wuyi Lane. Listening to the deep night, lonely and lonely city, the spring tide is urgent.The first word expresses the poet's deep nostalgic feelings through the contrast between the mountains and rivers and the fact that the six dynasties are no longer prosperous. The whole article starts with the "six generations", but it covers more than just a period and a region. The lyricist intends to lament that prosperity is fleeting, wealth and nobility cannot always exist, containing his deep and strong feelings of life and history, a sigh for the ephemerality of life, the impermanence of nobility and cheapness, and a summary of the rise and fall of the ages, and the vicissitudes of life and the vicissitudes of ancient and modern times. The whole word blends into the scene, forming a deep and desolate artistic conception, which transcends one's own sentimentality and momentary lamentation, so that the theme of the work carries an eternal meaning that transcends time and space.Thinking about the past, I feel sad. Nostalgic for the homeland, empty traces. But the smoke and grass are decaying, and the crows are slanting to the sun. Yushu Song is cold in autumn, and the rouge well is cold and cold. So far, there are only Jiang Shanqing and Qin Huaibi.
**I also like this poem by Sadula, read it many times, and wrote the whole word by hand. In his later years, among the ancient poetry records he listened to, there was a song "Manjianghong Jinling Nostalgia" sung by Kunqu opera performer Yue Meiti.
