Linjiangxian, the Yangtze River is rolling eastward.

Ming Dynasty: Yang Shen

The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes. Whether it is right and wrong or failure, it is empty now and has disappeared with the passage of time. Castle Peak still exists, the sun still rises and the sunset still sets.

The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the changes of time. I met an old friend and had a drink. How many things in the past and how many years have been put into the conversation.

Translation:

As the Yangtze River rolls eastward, many heroes disappear like stormy waves. Whether it is right or wrong, or success or failure (the success of ancient and modern heroes), it is nothing until now, and it has disappeared with the passage of time. Green hills (mountains and rivers) still exist, and the sun still rises and sets.

The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the change of time. It's rare to see old friends. Have a good drink. A lot of things through the ages have been put into the joke.

Writing background:

15 1 1 year (the sixth year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty), Yang Shen won the first place in palace examination. 1524, Yang Shengan was exiled to Yunnan for offending Sejong Zhu Houzong. He often travels around and observes people's customs. Everywhere I went, I talked with local literati and left many poems describing Yunnan. This word is one of them.

Yang Shen (1488 ~ 1559) was a writer in Ming dynasty, and he was the first of the three gifted scholars in Ming dynasty. This word was used for repairing and was promoted to the temple. Later, due to exile in southern Yunnan, he claimed to be a Bonanshan native and a veteran of Jinma Biji. The son of Yang Tinghe, Han nationality, was born in Xindu, Sichuan (now Xindu District, Chengdu), and his ancestral home was Luling. Six-year champion, edited by Guan Hanlin Academy, and recorded by Yu Xiuwu.

Judging from the whole word, the tone is generous and tragic, and the meaning is endless. It makes people feel sad when they read it, and they can't help but add thousands of feelings to their hearts. This word not only makes readers feel desolate and tragic, but also creates an indifferent and quiet atmosphere, which embodies the lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy of life.

The author tries to explore the eternal value in the long river of history and find a profound philosophy of life between success and failure, which has both a sense of historical rise and fall and a sense of ups and downs of life, reflecting a noble sentiment and broad-minded mind.

When readers taste this word, it seems that it is not the water of the Yangtze River that is washed away, but the ruthless history; As if listening to a historical sigh, I am looking for the eternal value of life in the sigh.
