A
跨学科 语文 Tune (曲调): Pride of Fishermen
When autumn comes to the frontier, the scene (风景) looks drear,
Southbound wild geese won’t stay even for a day.
An uproar rises with horns blowing far and near.
Walled in by peaks, smoke rises straight,
At sunset over an isolated town with fastened gate.
I hold a cup of wine, yet home is far
C
,
The Northwest is not won and I’m obliged to stay.
At the flutes’ doleful sound over frost-covered ground, None fall asleep,
The general’s hair turns white and soldiers weep.
Fan Zhongyan (989—1052) was famous for his work Notes on the Yueyang Tower. Its line “To be the first in the country to worry about the affairs of the state and the last to enjoy oneself” is often used. Fan was not just a ci composer (词人), but also a famous statesman (政治家).
In the early Song Dynasty (960—1279), ci composers usually wrote about love and court (宫廷) life. But Fan Zhongyan’s ci included different topics. He focused on (专注于) the life of soldiers. Pride of Fishermen is a good example.
Based on the writer’s own experience, this ci shows the hard life soldiers had and their homesickness. At the time, Fan led an army to fight against the Western Xia, which was to the northwest of Song. As he grew up in Suzhou, much farther south, he couldn’t get used to the weather. That’s why the first line of the piece uses the word “drear”. The following lines in the first part describe more about his hardship. For example, the isolated (遥远的) town was in great danger. The second part shows how much Fan and the soldiers missed home.
However, the ci doesn’t only focus on homesickness. Instead, it mixes both patriotic (爱国的) love with homesickness, creating a sad but real poetic atmosphere (氛围).
