Extended information
Creative background: The Song Dynasty originally established its capital in Bianliang. In the first year of Jingkang of the Northern Song Dynasty (1126), the Jin people captured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and ascended the throne in Lin'an, which was known as the Southern Song Dynasty in history. The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty did not accept the painful lesson of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and worked hard to improve itself. They only sought to live in peace and contentment. The dignitaries indulged in sex, pleasure and entertainment, and regarded Hangzhou as their old capital Bianzhou.
The poet's "Inscribed on Lin'an Residence" exposes the despicable behavior of those "tourists" who ignore the country's future and destiny, indulge in dreams and dreams, and disregard the national economy and people's livelihood. At the same time, it also expresses the poet's deep concern for the fate of the country and the nation, and He is angry at the rulers who only want to live in peace and surrender to others.
The first sentence of the poem "Beyond the mountains and the green mountains and the buildings outside"? The poet describes the beauty of mountains and rivers, showing a happy scene. The poet captured the characteristics of Lin'an City-overlapping green hills and row upon row of towers. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, the rolling green hills, and the pavilions one after another. What a beautiful nature this is.
Then he wrote: "When will the singing and dancing in West Lake stop?" The poet was deeply moved by the reality of the country's situation. Such beautiful mountains and rivers are occupied by the Jin people. The poet's use of rhetorical questions not only strengthened his anger towards those in power who did not want to regain the lost ground, but also showed the poet's sadness caused by his concern for the fate of the country.
The last two sentences "The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou." "Tourists" here cannot just be understood as ordinary tourists. It mainly refers to the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty who forgot about the national crisis, lived in peace and had fun. This sentence closely follows "When will the singing and dancing in West Lake stop?" Facing the non-stop singing and dancing, the poet couldn't help but express his emotion when he watched these "tourists" intoxicated.
