What did Wen Tianxiang, who wrote Across the Ocean, experience in his life?

"Once you encounter hard work, there will be fewer stars around you. The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs. The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean. Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and shine. "

The poem above is "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" by Wen Tianxiang, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The last sentence is "Who hasn't died in life since ancient times? Become a famous sentence through the ages and a catchy famous saying for later generations.

So, what happened to Wen Tianxiang before his death, which made him write such an epic masterpiece?

Wen Tianxiang was a figure in the late Southern Song Dynasty. He was an important political figure in the late Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia rose. In the face of the powerful Mongolian army, the soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty stubbornly resisted for half a century, and finally the Yuan army crossed the Yangtze River and captured Hangzhou. The central government of the Southern Song Dynasty fled.

Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the representative of the left-behind peace talks and entered the Yuan Army camp to negotiate with the enemy. Wen Tianxiang is supercilious and argues, but the enemy will not retreat because of a scholar's rhetoric.

After Wen Tianxiang fled from the Yuan Army's camp, he organized a military-civilian anti-Yuan struggle in the Southern Song Dynasty, but failed and was captured.

Wen Tianxiang and Wen Tianxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, witnessed the whole process of the Yuan Army's pursuit of the fleeing group in the Southern Song Dynasty, until the extremely tragic Battle of Cliff Mountain.

The Battle of Yashan was the downfall of the last organized military and political clique in the Southern Song Dynasty. The last emperor of the Song Dynasty died here, and the last prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu, also died, and all 100,000 elites were buried in the sea.

Wen Tianxiang witnessed all this on the warship of the Yuan Army, and was heartbroken and almost committed suicide.

The emperor's prime minister committed suicide and his country was destroyed. In this despair, Wen Tianxiang was taken to a "lonely ocean" by the Yuan Army.

The so-called "Lingdingyang", also known as "Lingdingyang", is a bay outside the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong, which was regarded as the southernmost bay in Chinese mainland at that time. This means that the whole of Chinese mainland has been occupied by the Yuan Army, and there is no power to reverse Gan Kun in this world.

In order to buy people's hearts, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty ordered Wen Tianxiang to be sent to Beijing in the north, intending to surrender to Wen Tianxiang.

How will Wen Tianxiang choose?

At this time, the royal family in Song Dynasty perished, and the center of imperial power ceased to exist. As a state power, Song Dynasty has become history.

Arguably, as a normal person, he must be desperate and helpless in this situation. If he surrenders, he will gain security and even prosperity. I'm afraid there are not many people who can persist.

However, at this time, the only thing that can support Wen Tianxiang is probably faith. He has made up his mind that he would rather die than surrender.

Therefore, he wrote this song "Crossing the Zero Ocean", which has been handed down through the ages.

Kublai Khan's several attempts to surrender to Wen Tianxiang were rejected, and he finally had to be executed.

Wen Tianxiang bowed to the south before he died, fearless. After his death, he looked as if he were still alive, 47 years old.

"No one has died in life since ancient times, so this is not only the spirit of Wen Tianxiang, but also the spiritual integrity of our nation." .
