家国之恋,古今同心
十一国庆假期刚刚过去,共和国度过了她的58岁生日。饱经沧桑的华夏文化凤凰涅槃重新崛起,年轻的新中国焕发青春大步前进。大江东去,淘尽英雄,在这片土地上成长起来的一代又一代人,都难以摆脱对这片土地的深情眷恋,家国之情,古今同心。
战国时期的屈原以诗歌奏出其国家情怀最强音。秦汉以后,大一统王朝带给华夏民族更强烈的民族意识与家国情怀:汉初文人贾谊洞察国家潜在的种种危机而直言进谏,“可为痛哭者一,可为流涕者二,可为长叹息者六”,爱国情怀,可昭日月。东汉末诗人王粲历经战乱,漂泊异乡,其《登楼赋》中“虽信美而非吾土兮,曾何足以少留” 寄托其对于故土家乡的眷恋,而曹植以“名编壮士籍,不得中顾私,捐躯赴国难,视死忽如归”的诗句奏响建安风骨的最强音,让人感动其拳拳报国之志。当五胡南下,西晋灭亡,祖逖于北方沦丧之际率部渡江南下之时中流,击楫而誓曰:“祖逖不能清中原而复济者,有如大江!”此后励精图治,留下闻鸡起舞之典故,后虽赍志以殁,但其心不死其情不泯,足以感染后人。数百家年后北宋倾覆之际,岳飞等爱国将领力抗侵略,保家为民,其“还我河山”之志,与山河共存。经乱离而南归的词人李清照、辛弃疾、陆游,都留下了著名诗句,表达其爱国之情。
时至近代,当天朝上国的迷梦破碎,中国沦为列强侵略的对象,无数仁人志士为探索国家民族的前路而“输肝剖胆效英才”。诗人龚自珍奏响新思想的先声:“我劝天公重抖擞,不拘一格降人才”为古老的中国大地呼唤人才,再现百家争鸣。革命家谭嗣同于戊戌变法失败之际,愿为改革而流血牺牲以感召后人。自号鉴湖女侠的秋瑾以组织光复军革命被捕从容就义,以身殉国。
“但愿朝阳常照我土,莫忘烈士鲜血满地”,忽忽千年,白驹过隙,家国之恋,古今同心,所谓爱国主义,不是傲慢的唯我独尊,偏激排外,亦不是高唱颂歌,歌舞升平,而是对于我们生于斯长于斯的这片土地深沉的挚爱,爱我们的同胞,爱我们的文化,为革除弊端改善民生而奋斗。古人云:“一屋不扫何以扫天下”,愿我们都能从小事做起,将爱国之志化作报国之行,积跬步成千里,实现自身的价值,实现民族国家的真正崛起。
Concentric love for home and country, ancient and modern
The National Day holiday has just passed and the Republic has celebrated her 58th birthday. The Chinese culture, emerged from vicissitudes, rebirths again just like the phoenix , and new China goes into her stride. The generations after generations growing up on this earth, can’t forget this piece of land out of love, deep love.
In modern times, when the Chinese dream broke down, China became the target of aggression, the nation's countless men and women of high excellence ‘Lose the liver and cut the bile, to follow the example of past heroes.’ Herald of new ideology, the poet Gong Zizheng said: ‘I advise the heavenly Lord to return, and to bring the talented to the world.’ calls for talents for the ancient Chinese earth, calls for abandoning of ideological shackles, the reproduce of the contention of a hundred schools of thought. Qiu Jin said when the powers of western states divided China , and national affairs began to sway ‘To put a hundred thousand heads of blood together, the situation must be inversed.’ When arrested for the crime of organizing the recovery army revolution she faced death unflinchingly, and died for the country.
‘May the morning sun always shine upon my soil, and not forget the blood of the martyrs everywhere on it.’ Concentric patriotism through ancient and modern, is not arrogant or conceited, not extreme xenophobia, not singing carols, but for us born on this land hold deep love, we love the compatriots of our same blood, we love our ancient and beautiful culture, and strive to get rid of drawbacks and improve people's life. The ancients said: ‘There is no river without a small stream.’ I hope we can start from the trivial, turn our patriotic ambition into acts for the country. Accumulate thousands of steps,step by step, achieve our own value, to realize the real rise of nation-state.
