"When I was a boy wearing bright clothes and angry horses" comes from "Magpie Bridge Immortal" written by Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty.
“When a young man wearing bright clothes and an angry horse was able to compete with a golden thief crossing south.” It means: If it were a high-spirited young man wearing bright clothes and riding a big horse, how could he let the golden thief cross? Cross the river southward. It means the beautiful and high-spirited youth time, planning one's own life vision, and moving forward in sync with the country's dream.
Yue Fei was an outstanding commander-in-chief of the Southern Song Dynasty. He valued the people's resistance to the Jin Dynasty and concluded the "Union Heshuo" plan, advocating that the civilian anti-Jin Dynasty rebels north of the Yellow River and the Song army cooperate with each other to regain lost territory. In running the army, rewards and punishments are clear, discipline is strict, and he can be considerate of his subordinates and lead by example. The "Yue Family Army" he leads is known as "if you freeze to death, you will not tear down the house, and if you starve to death, you will not take prisoners."
Yue Fei's introduction:
Yue Fei was a famous anti-Jin general, strategist, strategist, national hero, calligrapher, and poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Since the age of 20, he has joined the army four times. From the second year of Jianyan (1128) when he met Zongze to the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), he participated in and directed hundreds of battles, large and small.
When the Jin army attacked Jiangnan, it was unique and advocated resisting the Jin army and regaining Jiankang. In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), six counties of Xiangyang were recovered. In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), he led the Northern Expedition and successfully captured Shangzhou, Guozhou and other places. In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), Wanyan Zongbi destroyed the alliance and attacked the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei sent his troops to the Northern Expedition. The people of the two rivers rushed to tell each other, and the rebels from all over the country responded one after another and attacked the Jin army.
The Yue family army successively recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, defeated the Jin army in Yancheng and Yingchang, and marched into Zhuxian Town. However, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and Prime Minister Qin Hui insisted on seeking peace and urged their teachers with twelve gold-lettered plaques. During the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was falsely accused by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others and imprisoned. In January 1142, he was killed together with his eldest son Yue Yun and general Zhang Xian on trumped-up charges.
