The great poet Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan were childhood sweethearts. They got married and had a deep love for each other. Unfortunately, they were ruthlessly separated by Lu You's mother, and finally they went their separate ways.

Lu You remarried, and Tang Wan remarried.

Many years later, the two met in Shen Garden. One became someone else's husband, and the other became someone else's wife. This situation made the two sigh with infinite sadness!

Then two poems appeared, which were amazing and in harmony with each other.

In terms of response poetry, no one can surpass him.

That is "The Phoenix Hairpin" by Lu You and Tang Wan.

Lu You wrote:

"Red tender hands, yellow rattan wine. The whole city is full of spring colors and the palace walls are covered with willows; the east wind is bad, the joy is thin, a heart full of sorrow, years of separation, wrong, wrong, wrong!

Spring is the same as before, but I am thinner. The red tears soak through the silk gauze; the peach blossoms fall, the pool pavilion is empty, although the mountain oath is still there, it is difficult to entrust a letter, no, no, no!

Tang Wan also responded with a poem.

"The world is cruel and people are mean. The rain sends the flowers falling at dusk. The morning wind dries them and leaves traces of tears. I want to write down my thoughts and speak to myself alone. It's hard, hard, hard.

People have grown apart, today is not yesterday, sick souls often seem like ropes on a swing; the horn sounds cold, the night is late. Afraid of being questioned, I swallow my tears and pretend to be happy, hiding, hiding, hiding!

See? This is the poetry of response.

The so-called response means that one sings in harmony, one responds to another, and the other echoes back to back, with consistent rhythm.

Whether it is from the style, artistic conception, specifications, or rhythm, they must be consistent. Only in this way can the effect of synergistic resonance be achieved and the charm of the duet be displayed.

It creates a superimposed, beautiful and shocking effect, like a reflection in the water or two sides of a mirror.

Only in this way can the unique literary charm of singing in unison be demonstrated and mutual understanding be achieved.

Let’s take a look at Xiang Yu’s “Song of Gaixia” and “He on the Song of Gaixia”.

These two poems are incompatible in terms of style, format and rhythm, but they are still sung, so in the end both poems have to be sung with the same tune.

Even the number of words is different.

Obviously, the response effect cannot be achieved

So if this poem was really written by Yu Ji, and she really had such great talent, then Yu Ji should have changed "He Gaixia Song" into a Sao style poem.

Changing the five-character poem into a Sao-style poem reduces the difficulty and makes it very easy. Even someone like me who has no knowledge of poetry can easily change it.

such as:

The Han army has come and occupied the land, and the Chu songs are all around us. Your Majesty has lost all his energy, so what is the point of my life?

With this change, it sounds like a duet of singing by Yu Ji and Xiang Yu.

Although the literary value of this poem declined rapidly, as a poem that responded to the situation, it was the most appropriate for the situation at the time.

If Yu Ji had such literary accomplishment, she would definitely have done a better job than me.

Therefore, this song "He Gaixia Song" is fake and was written by later generations.

These two poems by Xiang Yu and Yu Ji are totally irrelevant! "Cao Dongfang continued to say what later netizens said.

“Lu You and Tang Wan’s poems are so beautiful and sad, while Xiang Yu and Yu Ji’s poems are so weird.

Does Dongfang have any more evidence? "Song Xianxian asked.

Not only Song Xianxian, but even Commander Song, the third person, began to frown, feeling that there was something wrong with the words spoken by Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.

"The biggest evidence is that all the historians of the Han Dynasty did not believe that the poem "He Gaixia Ge" was written by Yu Ji.

Sima Qian did not admit it.

Let me briefly talk about Sima Qian.

This involves the issue of professional ethics, which basically means that I personally have my own opinions and my good or bad feelings about certain people.

But they cannot affect my work. Sima Qian is basically such a person.

"The Records of Xiang Yu" elevates Xiang Yu to the same level as Liu Bang, the emperor!

Sima Qian hated Liu Bang very much and despised foreign relatives, so he didn't like Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

But even if Sima Qian didn't like it, he still recorded the great achievements of these people, so the credibility is very high.

Similarly, Sima Qian liked Xiang Yu very much, but he had the ethics of a historian and he did not do so when others were distorting facts and frantically promoting Xiang Yu.

If you insist on saying that Yu Ji died for love, Yu Ji committed suicide.

But Sima Qian refused to believe it, thinking it was unreliable, and he did not write at all about how Yu Ji died.

Then, Sima Qian's position is very clear. He believes that Yu Ji definitely did not commit suicide for love.

Yu Ji could only have been forced to death by Xiang Yu. What's even more terrifying is that it is possible that Yu Ji was directly killed by Xiang Yu.

There is a very important point in Sima Qian's account of this period of history, that is, Xiang Yu sang "The Song of Gaixia" not just once.

To use Sima Qian's original words, it is called: "several verses of songs."

Just chanting over and over, non-stop, "My black horse can't run anymore? What should I do with you, Yu Ji?"

Don't you think this is scary?

How can this be a love song? This is clearly a death song!

Sima Qian liked Xiang Yu so much that he could not tolerate what Xiang Yu was doing at this moment and did not cover up for him. This shows how terrible this matter was.

It was only during the Tang Dynasty, when the influence of Confucianism expanded, that some people began to reverse the verdict on Xiang Yu, saying that Farewell My Concubine was a death for love.

But later, some people in the Song Dynasty denied this view, and some even wrote in "Taiping Huanyu Ji" that Xiang Yu was defeated and killed Yu Ji.

These are actually conclusions drawn from the Records of the Grand Historian and the Book of Han, as well as by comparing them with the "Chu-Han Chunqiu".

Moreover, when facing Xiang Yu, a warrior who at least carried a sword, Yu Ji kept singing "Yu Ji, Yu Ji, what should I do with you?"

It really can be a love song. It’s so annoying!

Song Wancheng, "If Xiang Yu goes to Jiangdong, he may be able to make a comeback!

Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem.

Victory and defeat are unpredictable in the military, and it is a man's duty to bear shame and endure humiliation. There are many talented disciples in Jiangdong, and it is unknown whether they will make a comeback! "

"Impossible! Not at all! If you don't believe me, ask Commander Song!" Cao Dongfang rejected this statement without any hesitation.

"It's impossible! Liu Bang will hunt down Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu will have no chance after the Battle of Gaixia!" Commander Song said.

"It is better to use your remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord."

The great elder once said that writers could write poems and articles based on their imagination of what would happen if Xiang Yu came to Jiangdong!

But militarily speaking, Xiang Yu was doomed to fail after losing the Battle of Gaixia.

Only time remains.

What's more, Xiang Yu's biggest opponent was Liu Bang, and Han Xin was also there.

Xiang Yu had no chance. Suicide was Xiang Yu's last dignity!

......

"Okay, let's eat, what's the point of all the noise?" Sister-in-law Song Wanfang asked everyone.

"Farewell My Concubine by Xiang Yu and Yu Ji!" Song Xianxian replied.

Song Wanfang, "What a pity for Xiang Yu! He lost to Liu Bang!"

“Hahahaha, aunt, Dongfang just refuted this statement. Xiang Yu is just a warrior.

Yu Ji died at the hands of Xiang Yu. It's not a tragic love story at all? "Song Xianxian laughed.

"Is that so? That's impossible. People have been saying this for thousands of years. Is there any evidence?" Song Wanfang asked.

"Yes, Xiang Yu's performance in the Battle of Gaixia was really problematic and does not conform to historical evaluations!"

"It doesn't matter, he's a historical figure!"

Commander Song, "Dongfang, you study history, why don't you study military affairs!"

"You have already learned about military affairs when you studied history. There is no need to learn it again. Besides, the military affairs are dynamic. Many strategies from the past are not applicable now!" Cao Dongfang explained.

"There is military in history, how do you explain it?" Commander Song didn't understand.

“If you study history without understanding the social structure, economy, people’s livelihood, military, social phenomena, etc. at the time, you will not be able to evaluate a single event.

It can be considered as learning history, forget it. The military serves politics. Fighting a war that should not be fought is not advisable, but some wars must be fought!

A typical example is the war we fought in the north! "Cao Dongfang had no choice but to explain it again for Commander Song.

"I understand! The military serves politics!"

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Everyone, take your seats and eat!" Mrs. Song came out.

"Dongfang, we are not as good as you in cooking. Don't be surprised. Eat more!" Aunt Song said modestly.

Cao Dongfang, "It's okay, I'm not picky!"

"Dongfang, is the food delicious?" Sister-in-law Song Wanfang asked Mrs. Song.

Commander Song, "It's delicious, better than what you made!"

Song Xianxian, "That's right, aunt, the sweet and sour carp made by Dongfang is delicious and boneless!"

"Then you're in for a treat!" Song Wanfang teased.

"It's a small matter. If you like to eat it, I can make it every day, or make a few more at a time and put them down and eat them slowly!" Cao Dongfang had no choice but to follow.

"Xianxian is so happy!"

"Little aunt!"

"Dongfang, where is the fishbone? How did you get it off?" Mrs. Song asked Cao Dongfang.

"I used my inner strength to knock it out. It's not suitable for ordinary people to use!"

"That's it!"
