The Glory of Wengong

The poem “Fixed stars in October shine in the sky, Chu Hill moves earth to build a new palace. Measuring shadows to survey direction, construction begins in earnest on Chu Hill. Planting hazel and chestnut trees, also Chinese catalpa and chinaberry. Once mature, they’ll be felled for making zithers and qins. Ascending to the ruins of Cao Yi, gazing out towards Chu Hill. Surveying Chu Hill and Tang Yi, measuring hills and mounds, walking through fields to observe farming. Seeking divination for signs of prosperity, the results are sure to be peaceful and prosperous. Rain stops on a good night, ordering the coachman and groom. Early in the morning, they drive the carriage, resting in mulberry fields to encourage farming. He is upright and capable, internally enriched and profound. Fine horses number over three thousand like clouds. This poem is divided into three chapters, each with seven lines. The first chapter describes the collective labor of Wengong, such scientific planning, such tense order, and such pride and confidence. In the poem, which is quite disciplined and slightly military in color, the reader seems to touch the clear and warm pulse of the Wengong rebuilding their homeland. However, people cannot work blindly on their own initiative, nor can they do it without a leader. This large-scale project is exactly who has planned and led it, causing a small suspense, naturally falling into the second chapter of the reverse reason, with a steep arrangement of chapters. In the second chapter, Wengong was chased back for the whole process of building Chuqiu. The whole process includes two levels: doing one’s duty and respecting the sky. The first five sentences are doing one’s duty. It is “looking” and then “seeing”. Looking is climbing high and looking far away. After climbing the ruins of Cao Yi, he looked at Chuqiu. The repetition of “looking at Chu” shows that the scrutiny is extremely meticulous and cautious. In addition, it also examines the nearby Tang Yi and the ups and downs of the small hills. This shows that Wengong has a wealth of experience in the wind and water. “Seeing” is to descend and observe, and to go down to the fields to see the silkworm mulberry soil, whether it is suitable for farming and fishing. These are fundamental calculations concerning national economy and people’s livelihood. As a virtuous monarch, he naturally would not neglect. These five sentences from “climbing” to “descending”, from “looking” to “observing”, panoramic scanning, and the magnificent background depict the lofty vision and practical image of Wengong. The last two sentences wrote divination, and through “heaven’s will” recognition, human affairs are finally settled, which helps today’s readers understand ancient history. However, it is not comparable to the broad and lofty style of Chapter II. The third chapter is seen in the spirit from the micro-place. The third chapter is about Wengong’s self-serving. “Good rain knows the season”, on a rainy night, the spring rain moistened the earth, and the sky cleared early in the morning. Wengong got up in the morning, put on a star, and ordered the coachman to drive to the mulberry fields. This specific detail describes the information conveyed. Wengong attaches importance to agricultural production and personally visits to supervise the farming. Seeing small from a hill, Wengong is tireless in his country. scene, 兵 Strong and day official Country’s Indeed, Chu indeed deserves title accomplishments, classics,? practiced
