Author: Bao Zhao
The winding plains[1], the south Chi Cang Wuzhanghai[2], go north to Zisaiyanmen[3]. The pavilion is based on Cao Canal [4], and the axis is based on Kungang [5]. Zhongguan Fujiang Zhiao[6], Sihui Wudazhuang[7]. When it was in its heyday, the carriages were hung with light curtains[8] and people were riding on their shoulders[9]; The salt fields that breed goods[12], the copper mountains that are shoveled and mined[13], the talents are abundant, and the scholars and horses are beautiful[14]. Therefore, he was able to waste the Qin law [15], lost the Zhou Dynasty order [16], worshiped Yong [17], cut off Junxun [18], and tried to cultivate the world in order to end his life [19]. Therefore, the battlements of Yin are built with boards [20], the wells are dry, the beacons and oars are diligent [21], the five mountains are high [22], the vastness is three tombs [23], the valleys are like broken banks [24], and the towers are like long clouds [25 ]. Make magnets to resist the impact [26], and paste the soil to fly away [27]. Observe the solid protection of the foundation[28], and sacrifice ten thousand people to one king[29].

There are wood-charming mountain ghosts [36], wild rats and city foxes, howling wind and howling rain, and seeing the morning trend in the dark. A hungry eagle kisses [37], and a cold owl scares the chicks [38]. It hides the tiger [39] and nourishes the skin with milk and blood [40]. The road is blocked by collapsed trees, and the ancient Kui is majestic [41]. The poplars fall early, and the cold grasses wither before the cold. The frosty air[42], the wind and power of Su Su[43]. The solitary canopy vibrates on its own[44], and the sand flies away. The shrubs are vast and boundless [45], and the bushes are thin and diverse [46]. The Tongchi has been eroded[47], and the corner has collapsed[48]. Looking thousands of miles away, all I can see is yellow dust. Listening in silence, my heart is broken.
The play of dragons, knights and horses [53]; all the smoke is extinguished and the embers are extinguished, and the light sinks and the sound is extinguished [54]. Miao Ji from the Eastern Capital, a beauty from the Southern Kingdom, has a delicate heart and a delicate body, with beautiful face and crimson lips[55]. She has her soul buried in a stone, and her bones are destitute of dust[56]. How can I remember the joy of riding in the same chariot? How hard is it to leave the palace [57]?
Whatever the way of heaven, there are many people who swallow hatred. Drawing the Qin and Mingcao [58] is the song of Wucheng. The song says:
The wind blows sharply from the border and it is cold on the city, and the well path is destroyed and the hills and long hills remain[59]. Thousands of years have passed, and generations have passed away.

Translation of Wucheng Fu in classical Chinese
Guangling County, with its vast and flat terrain, connects to Cangwu and Nanhai in the south and Yanmen Pass of the Great Wall in the north. The Cao River lingers in front of it, and Kungang crosses it below. The surrounding rivers and city gates overlap, and it is located at a strategic point extending in all directions. When King Liu Bi of Wu built his capital here, the axles of the streets collided with each other, pedestrians rubbed shoulders, lanes were densely packed, and the sound of singing and playing was loud. The king of Wu became rich by developing salt fields to multiply goods and mining copper mountains. This makes Guangling rich in manpower and well-equipped soldiers and horses. Therefore, it can surpass the laws of the Qin Dynasty and the regulations of the Zhou Dynasty. Build high walls, dig deep ditches, and seek a long and beautiful destiny for the country. So they built city walls on a large scale and worked hard to build watchtowers equipped with beacon fires. Make Guangling City as high as the Five Mountains and as wide as the Three Tombs. The city wall is as tall as a broken bank and stands like a long cloud. The city gates were made with magnets to prevent gangsters from breaking in, and the city walls were covered with red mud to make them shine. Seeing that the city was so solidly built, I always thought that it would last for thousands of years and belong to the same family forever. However, I didn't expect that after only three generations and more than five hundred years, it fell apart like a melon being split or a bean being split.
Berry moss grows around the well, and vines of kudzu cover the road. There are poisonous snakes and short foxes everywhere in the hall, and wild deer and flying squirrels fight with each other in front of the steps.
Spirits of wood and stone, mountain ghosts, wild rats and city foxes howl in the wind and rain, and appear in the morning and dusk. The hungry wild eagle is sharpening its beak, and the cold kite is scaring the birds. Crouching beasts, lurking tigers, drinking blood and eating flesh. Collapsed hazelnut trees clogged the road, making it a gloomy and terrifying ancient road. The leaves of the poplars have already withered, and the weeds have withered prematurely. The sharp and severe frost, the fierce and powerful cold wind, the arc canopy suddenly lifted up, and the sand and stones flew away due to the wind. The shrubbery is vast and endless, and the vegetation is intertwined and dependent on each other. The moat has been filled in and the tall turrets have collapsed. Thousands of miles away, only yellow dust can be seen flying. It is extremely sad to listen attentively but feel nothing.
As for the embroidered tents inside the painted portals, the place with luxurious singing and dancing terraces; the jade pond and green trees, the pavilions in Sheyi Mountain Forest and Diaoyu Bay; the music of Wu, Cai, Qi and Qin The sounds are played with various skills; all the fragrance is extinguished, the light is gone and the sound is extinguished. The beauties from Luoyang, the capital of the East, and the beauties from the south of Wu and Chu, all with beautiful hearts and beautiful faces and red lips, all had their souls returned under the spring stone and surrendered themselves to the dust. How can we still recall the joy of being favored when we were in the same chariot, or the pain of falling out of favor when living alone and leaving the palace?
It’s hard to say destiny, there are so many haters in the world! Take down the Yaoqin, compose a piece of music, and compose a piece of music. Song of the city. The lyrics say: The border wind in Guangling is strong, the city is rustling with cold, the paths in the fields are destroyed, the tombs are destroyed, thousands of years and generations, people die together, what is there to say!

Background of the creation of Wucheng Fu
Wucheng refers to Guangling City, which was an important city and military town on the north bank of the Yangtze River during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu dug the Hangou ditch here to connect the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers and strive for hegemony in the Central Plains. The Qin Dynasty established counties, the Western Han Dynasty established the Guangling Kingdom, and the Eastern Han Dynasty changed it to Guangling County, with Guangling County as its administrative seat. The former site is in today's Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It was the administrative seat of the kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty and a transportation hub in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It has an important terrain and city appearance. bustling. During the Western Han Dynasty, King Liu Bi of Wu benefited from the rich local salt and copper resources, accumulated strong economic power, and built Guangling City very solidly and magnificently. While accumulating economic strength, Liu Bi's kingdom also developed a strong military force. It was strong and arrogant, and once launched a rebellion against the imperial court. However, the rebellion was quickly suppressed by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. During the counter-rebellion, Guangling City was greatly damaged. Since then, Guangling City has declined. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, several more wars occurred here, and Guangling City further declined. In the 27th year of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty (450), Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao invaded the south and Guangling was burned. In the third year of the Ming Dynasty (459), Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty, King Liu Dan of Jingling, rebelled against Guangling. Emperor Xiaowu sent troops to suppress the rebellion and ordered the massacre of all the men in the city, leaving only children under five feet tall. In the past ten years, Guangling suffered two military disasters, turning the prosperous and bustling city into a deserted city. In the third or fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, not long after Liu Dan's rebellion, Bao Zhao came to Guangling. The scars were still fresh and the blood stains were still there. He climbed the Guangling tower and saw the desolate scene of ruins and desolation in front of him. He looked up at the vastness and was filled with emotion. He wrote "Ode to Wucheng". [1]
Appreciation of Wucheng Fu Works
Literary Appreciation
This lyrical poem exaggerates and exaggerates the prosperity of Guangling City in the past and its desolation today. The narrative and contrast express the author's feelings about historical changes and the rise and fall of dynasties, and truly reflect the harsh social reality at that time.
Based on the height of time and space, the author starts from his own experience of life and paints a picture of Guangling's prosperity and a picture of Guangling's decline in the ebb and flow of the five-hundred-year history. The contrast between the rise and fall of the two pictures deconstructs the helplessness of individuals in life towards the world, that is, change is eternal, and beauty must eventually lead to destruction.
The first picture the author depicts Guangling is a picture of great beauty and prosperity during the Liu Bi period. Based on history, the author outlines the heyday of Guangling with majestic and majestic pen and ink. Let’s start by describing the flatness and vastness of Guangling’s terrain. "The winding plains, the green trees and the rising sea to the south, and the Zisai Yanmen to the north." The momentum is broad, and the start of the poem makes people feel the boldness of the author's writing. The two verbs "nanchi" and "northward" make people feel that the author seems to be standing at the high end of time and space, using his pen to illuminate a vivid cosmic beast. The beast is shaking its head and tail, stretching and singing. Magnificent. "Caoqu is the bridge and Kungang is the axis." Kungang is the indestructible backbone of this giant beast, and Caoqu is the never-ending and surging new blood of this giant beast. This is not a city, but a living, vigorous and powerful life. In the flowing beauty of this giant beast, readers not only see the author's praise of Guangling's superior geographical environment, but also the author's exaggeration of Guangling's power and wealth. Its iron-clad body is full of subversive and unbreakable infinite power. Life tension. "The corner of the river is surrounded by many passes, and it is a village with four connections and five extensions." This is a city embraced by majestic mountains and surrounded by rolling rivers. It is a city with steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also a prosperous city extending in all directions. "The cars are hanging on the carriages, and the people are riding on the shoulders. The crows are falling on the ground, and the songs are blowing to the sky." This is a bustling city with densely populated streets. There are many vehicles, and they collide with each other from time to time. There are seas of people, bustling and walking shoulder to shoulder. Houses and buildings covered the ground, and singing, laughter, and noises were like boiling waves, soaring into the sky. The author used exaggerated pen and ink to describe the prosperity of Guangling, where people lived and worked in peace, singing, dancing, and prospering. "Salt fields are a breeding ground for goods, and copper mountains are profitable for production." Liu Bi once used seawater to boil salt here and used copper mines to cast money. Therefore, here "wealth is strong, people and horses are fine." That is to say, the country is prosperous and strong, and the army and horses are strong. In terms of construction scale, it is also "extravagant with Qin's law and lost with Zhou's order." The word "extravagant" here means not only that it is larger than Qin's method, but that it can easily accommodate the scale of Qin. The word "yi" here means not just exceeding, but far exceeding the scale of the Zhou Dynasty. "Zai Chongyong, Ji Junjun.
"The words "Hua" and "刳" are used here, as opposed to "Chongyong" and "Junxi", which further illustrates the strong national power. Moving tall mountains to make majestic city walls is like using a knife to cut up the mountains and move them to install them. Just like outside the city, digging a deep trench is like using a knife to split a melon. This is a rare major project in the world, which shows how powerful the country is. "For the sake of a lasting and beautiful national destiny, Liu Bi did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build national defense projects. "It is the diligence of building battlements with boards and the diligence of drying wells and beacons. The five mountains are high, the three tombs are vast, the valleys are like broken shores, and they stand like long clouds. "" This is an extremely exaggerated description of Guangling's majestic and steep defense projects. Its scale exceeds that of the Five Mountains and covers one-third of Kyushu. It is as precipitous as a towering mountain, and as steep as a broken wall on a river bank. From a distance, it looks like long clouds rising into the sky. "Make magnets to resist the attack, and cover the soil to fly." "Yuchong refers to a door that resists attacks by heavy soldiers or bandits. It is said that the doors of Epang Palace in the Qin Dynasty were made of magnets. The magnets are iron-attracting stones that can prevent armed blades from entering the city. It can be seen that the city gate is not only majestic and strong, but also has extremely strong defensive functions. Ordinary people cannot enter the city gate without permission and wearing weapons. Set against the solid city gate is the colorful city wall painted with red patterns. Liu Bi built a magnificent city here, with tall and solid walls, impregnable castles, large watchtowers, and frequent beacon towers, hoping that "one king can be worshiped." "That is to say, I hope that the country with the surname Liu will be passed down from generation to generation and will never be defeated. However, things are unpredictable. Just "three generations and more than five hundred years, the melons are divided and the beans are divided." "That is to say, after only three dynasties of Han, Wei and Jin, only five hundred years later, it was completely destroyed! So what kind of destruction was it? The author drew a second picture of Guangling with great colors. That is, after the war, Guangling was dilapidated, desolate, and eerie.
"The sun is close to the well, and the road is deserted. "The well" is the source of people's survival. If there is a well, there must be someone there, and the "road" is the way that people walk out. The well is covered with moss, making it impossible to distinguish the wells, and the vines on the road are crawling sideways and vertically, making it impossible to find a way out. It can be seen that this place has been deserted for a long time. "Not only are there piles of venomous snakes crawling around in front of the hall, but there are also groups of short foxes scurrying around. The deer gathered on the steps bite and fight with the flying squirrels in groups. It is really a desolate and terrifying world." Mu Mei Mountain ghosts, wild rats and city foxes, howling wind and howling rain, appear faint in the morning. "This is also a paradise for monsters and monsters, a cradle for foxes and mice to become spirits. These monsters either blow up the wind and cause rain, or make weird wolf howls and ghost noises. They appear at night and disappear in the early morning. This is a command A terrifying world where people tremble with fear. “The hungry eagle kisses, the cold owl scares the chicks. The tiger hides in the lurk, milk and blood feed the skin. "The hungry eagle keeps chopping its beak and grinding its teeth, and the cold kite is viciously attacking the trembling bird. The ambush beast is drinking blood and devouring its feathers, and the hidden tiger is tearing off its skin and eating meat. This is a world full of bloody cruelty. The world. The poplars fall early, and the weeds wither before the plugs. "Years of hazelnut shells have accumulated in piles and mountains, blocking the road. The ancient road is deep, unpredictable and eerie. Under the shadow of hazelnut trees, the poplar trees have fallen prematurely, and the green grass has grown prematurely on the decayed and collapsed city walls. Withered. This is a desolate and sad world. The solitary pod vibrates by itself, and the sand is startled and it flies away. "Blasts of severe cold and icy frost hit like knives and strangled everything. The strong and fierce wind suddenly rolled up countless fluffy grass and spun in the air. Unexpected sand and stones on the ground suddenly flew up in the wind, crashing and whistling in the air. "The shrubs are endless, and the grasses are all dependent on each other. "Such a harsh environment is boundless and has no end." The Tongchi has been eroded, and the corners have collapsed. "During the devastation, the author looked for the deep city of the past, only to find that it had been filled with yellow sand. During the devastation, the author suddenly found a corner of the former tall city wall, but it suddenly collapsed in front of his sight. The author said He raised his head in confusion, "Looking thousands of miles away, all I can see is yellow dust. "The author has been looking eagerly for the shadow of the past, but even if he looks to the end of the world, thousands of miles away, all he sees is the vast dust and the flying loess. Here, it is composed of wildness, desolation, ghosts, horror, and blood.
The author expresses his feelings by describing the scenery, and compiles many images with profound connotations into two large contrasting pictures.
The picture uses splashes of ink to lay out the prosperous Guangling in the past and the desolate Guangling after the war, expressing his hidden pain and indignation at the barbaric cruelty of human nature, and showing the author's lonely soul pursuing beauty in a cold world.
The article then further describes the declining luxurious life of Guangling during the reign of Liu Bi, the former King of Wu. "The tents covered with weeds, the foundations of the singing halls and dancing pavilions, the green trees in the abyss, the pavilions in the forests and the fishing villages, the sounds of Wu, Cai, Qin, and the play of fish, dragons, birds, and horses are all smoked out and extinguished, and the light sinks and the sound is extinguished." Those beautiful carved doors and windows, those exquisite embroidered curtains, those magnificent singing platforms and dance pavilions, those shady green trees beside the white marble pond, those places for shooting birds and fishing, and those from the state of Wu, Cai, Qi, Qin The beautiful music and singing of the country, as well as those superb and wonderful tricks and acrobatics, have long been reduced to ashes and lost their fragrance, and their news has lost their luster. "Miao Ji from the Eastern Capital, a beauty from the Southern Kingdom, with a delicate heart and a beautiful face and crimson lips. She buries her soul in a stone, and her bones are destitute. How can she remember the joy of being in the chariot and the hardship of leaving the palace!" The young beauty from Luoyang , the talented women and beauties selected from the southern country, their fragrance as fragrant as orchids, their limbs as soft as dandy, their pure white jade faces, their red lips, have long since disappeared. Although they are naturally beautiful, they will inevitably bury their souls under the stone and their flesh and blood in the dust. Will they remember the favor and happiness of riding in the same carriage with King Wu, or will they think of fighting in the dust? Is it the pain and sorrow of being in the cold palace?
Here the author goes from the palace to the palace, singing and dancing, and the beautiful lady disappears into thin air. It shows that destruction is the inevitable destination of beauty. No matter it is beautiful objects or beauties, whether it is power or wealth, everything in the human world cannot escape the ending of death and disappearance. The past is as long as morning dew. There is only one reason for ups and downs. The peak will inevitably decline and will not last forever. "What is the way of heaven? There are many who swallow hatred." This is the law of heaven. Too many regrets are the irreversible fate of the world and individuals. Drawing the harp and performing exercises is the song of Wucheng. The song says:
"The wind blows fiercely and the city is cold, the wells are ruined and the hills and dragons are remnant. Thousands of years have passed, and what can be said when the old age is gone!" Thousands of threads, thousands of words, Thousands of sorrows and hatreds are turned into a song about the impermanence of life: "The wind blows coldly on the city, the track and field roads are destroyed and the tombs are ruined. Thousands of years and generations will eventually perish. What can I say!" The song has been exhausted but the love has not been exhausted, and the words have ended. And hate injustice. The theme of the full text is "Whatever the way of heaven, there are many who swallow hatred." This song pushes the theme to a climax, expressing the poet's lingering and affectionate feelings of sorrow and pity for others, and the full text is thus sublimated into the final outcome of the human world. The widespread lament expresses the author's ultimate pessimism and sadness. At this point, I have realized that the theme of this poem is not only about the nostalgia for the past, nor about the ups and downs of the tombs. The poet expresses his deep lamentation and regret for the ultimate outcome of mankind through the changes in a city. Although human nature has the characteristic of pursuing beauty, no one can save the disappearance of beautiful things in the world. Just like people are born to work hard for survival, but the final outcome is death. No one can escape. The only difference is time. Sooner or later. [1] [4]
Comments by famous writers
The second volume of Yu Guanghua's "Review of the Re-edited Anthology" quotes Sun Yuefeng's comment: "There are many even words, and the work is very meticulous." However, the Qi pulse is narrow, and he is the ancestor of the law and Fu of later generations.
Volume 2 of Guanghua's "Review of the Reprinted Selected Works" quotes Fang Bohai's comment: How majestic the city was before it was deserted, and how desolate it was when it was deserted. It is always seen that the rise and fall of the city are left to people, and it is not just the King of Wu who has evil plans and hastened its demise. Even the city cannot be preserved for five hundred years. But why did the city become barren? Was it caused by heaven or caused by man? This can serve as a warning to future generations. The writing is straight forward, and not a single word dodges or goes off topic. It is to make a statement.
Volume 1 of Xu Zhen's "Liu Chao Wen Jie": From the heyday, he tried his best to say it, and it was always written in the "Wu" character. This way it is powerful.
Yao Nai's "Compilation of Ancient Chinese Ci": The words that drive the desolate atmosphere and the thrilling words all put the family in a desperate situation.
Yan Junshou's "Old Clichés": His handsome temperament, sharp writing, and all kinds of depressive thoughts of his husband are the most able to make people feel sad and make people think.
Volume 8 of Li Tiaoyuan's "Fu Hua": Bao Zhao's "Wucheng Fu", which expresses feelings about clothes in Chu Fu and chants worries in Chen's poems, is the most accurate.
