What is the translation of Pengniao Fu?

The translation of Pengniao Fu is as follows:

Jia Yi is the teacher of Changsha Wang. One day in Gengzi in April, a bird flew into his room and stopped at the seat for a long time before flying away. Jia Yi opened the book to predict good or bad luck, and divined: "Wild weapons entered the room, and the master was about to leave."

Jia Yi is very taboo about this matter, so he wrote "Fu for Birds", saying that life and death and good or bad luck are the same thing, and he uses this view to arrange his life and determine his ambition.

"Pengniao Fu" original:

Jia Yi is the teacher of Changsha Wang. On Gengzi Day in April, a bird flew into his house, stopped in a corner and left for a long time. Yi Fa took it and said, "When wild birds enter the room, your master will go." Friendship is taboo, pretending to be "innocent girl", waiting for the blessing of the country, and dying.

Creation background

This poem was written in the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty (173), and the author lived in exile in Changsha (now Hunan). According to Historical Records Biography of Qu Yuan Jia Sheng, "Jia Sheng has been teacher Wang of Changsha for three years, and there is an osprey Jia Shengshe, which stops in a corner.

The life of Chu people is called "Fu" (commonly known as "Peng" or owl). Jia Sheng has been living in Changsha, which is simple and humid. He thinks that he will not live long, and he mourns it because he has been endowed with the ability to enrich himself. "Sima Qian's creative motivation revealed here is consistent with the author's readme in the first paragraph of the article.

But this is only the direct factor that causes the author's creative impulse, and there is a broader and deeper social background. Jia Yi, a gifted scholar in Wang Zuo, was "twenty years old and the youngest. Under every imperial edict, the old gentlemen could not speak, and Jia Sheng did whatever he wanted and got his place, which was appreciated and reused by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Just because he advocated reform, he was slandered by powerful people and demoted to Changsha.

Full of political enthusiasm has been ruthlessly hit, and beautiful ideals and strong wishes have been maliciously slandered. In this cold life adversity, you can't get in, you can't get out, your endless depression, your endless advantages and disadvantages, and the deep stone happens at once.

Jia Yi's Fu of Hanging Qu Yuan embodies this gloomy mood: "Alas, life is unlucky at the right time, and husband and wife crouch and fly;" I am proud of myself, and I am proud of my success; The sages are dragging their feet and the founders are falling backwards. "This cry for heaven and earth is a mourning for Qu Yuan and a way to pour out one's feelings.

Jia Yi's situation is very helpless, but she can't find a way out from social politics. She can only seek detachment and self-comfort from her own spiritual world. This is the theme of this essay.
