Translation of people crossing the river

Scholar-bureaucrats who cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River always come to Xinting Grass for a feast every sunny day. Zhou Boren sighed at the banquet: "The scenery is no different, but the mountains and rivers are different." Everyone cried after hearing this. Only Wang Dao, the prime minister, said calmly, "Everyone should help the imperial court restore the Central Plains with Qi Xin. How can they become like Chu prisoners crying? "

When people cross the river, every time they go to the United States and Japan, they invite new pavilions and hold flower banquets. Zhou Houzhong sat down and sighed: "The scenery is different, it is the difference between mountains and rivers!" They all shed tears at each other. Only Prime Minister Wang suddenly changed color and said, "When * * * is fighting for the royal family to recover China, how can it be a prisoner of Chu?"

People Crossing the River is an essay by Liu Yiqing, a writer in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which comes from Shi Shuo Xin Yu Hua Xia 31. This paper describes the dialogue between the literati and officialdom during the banquet in Xinting, reflecting the declining mood of the literati and officialdom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after they crossed the south.

Second, the creative background

The compilation of Shi Shuo Xin Yu is of course related to the Liu Song family's love for the romance in Wei and Jin Dynasties and the admiration from all walks of life for the romance in Wei and Jin Dynasties. However, Liu Yiqing's love for scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties and his personal life experience are also its internal reasons.

Liu Yiqing, nephew of Emperor Wu of Song Wudi, attacked King Linchuan and sealed him. Emperor Wu was very kind to him. In 424 AD, Song Wendi Liu Yilong acceded to the throne, and soon after he acceded to the throne, he successively killed Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Hui and other heroes. Song Wendi is suspicious and heartless, because he is afraid of the tragedy of the young emperor being killed again. He strictly controlled and killed a large number of heroes and imperial clan members, including the famous Tan Daoji. ?

In this case, Liu Yiqing must be more cautious to avoid disaster. This rumor says, "Taibai will violate the right to enforce the law, clear up the fear of disaster, and beg for another town." This is actually an excuse for Liu Yiqing to leave Beijing and stay away from trouble.

Although Emperor Wen issued a letter to comfort him, he could not hold back Liu Yiqing's promise of "solving the servant shooting". Liu Yiqing finally had to go out of the city to make a secretariat for Jingzhou. Liu Yiqing, who is out of town, is still like a frightened bird.

Under the rule of Song Wendi and Liu Yilong, they had doubts about the imperial clan king, so he gathered literary scholars to express his love and edited a book called Shi Shuo Xin Yu.

Third, the appreciation of works

In the late Western Jin Dynasty, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" and the destruction of the Western Jin regime by a few northern troops occurred one after another. The north was plunged into years of war, and a large number of gentry went south to support Di Chin's establishment of the Eastern Jin regime in Jianye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).

The "people crossing the river" here refers to Wang Dao, Zhou E and others who were prominent in the Eastern Jin regime. This article shows their life, thoughts and feelings when the country perished. In contrast, it vividly depicts the cowardice and decadence of Zhouyi and others and the resolute struggle of Wang Dao.
