literature

Bei Qingqiao's poems are mostly about personal experiences, with rich realistic content. In the Opium War, in addition to "passing Yuyao county", "camel bridge Chronicle" and so on, which truly reflected the war in eastern Zhejiang and the tragedy of the invading army's war, the two volumes of "duiyin" were a group of epics which systematically reflected the military curtain of Yijing and the military affairs in eastern Zhejiang. What the author heard and saw in the scene of the Yi Scripture is that all the important actions and major wars in the army are taken into the poem, which deeply exposes all kinds of "strange things" inside the military mansion, as well as the greed, cowardice and ignorance of the military officials. There are 120 poems in the two volumes, all of which are seven character quatrains. Bei Qingqiao also wrote many poems that exposed the government's crackdown and the people's lack of livelihood, such as "flowing Ballads" and "women's Ballads". He chose typical examples and deeply moved them. "Ai Yong Dong" and other poems have written the reality of the government forcing the people to revolt. When he traveled to the west of Guizhou Province, he wrote poems reflecting the customs of Miao people, such as the song of jumping the moon. The poems depicting mountains and rivers are also unique.

Bei Qingqiao's poems are less constrained by the traditional style, and express his feelings in the plain style of poetry. Although his language is not mature sometimes, his strength is solid, and the ancient poems can express the mood. Huang Fumin said that he had "wonderful language and excellent writing skills". On the other hand, Ji Shi jueju often has the ironic style of Leng Jun. Because the author carried a sword to serve in the army, the heroic feeling of a soldier was aroused in the poem, which was also rare in other people's poems at that time.

The collection of Bei Qingqiao's poems consists of eight volumes, more than 800 poems, which were published by Ye Ting in the fifth year of Tongzhi. There are two volumes of "Dui Yin" in a single line, which was published in JIAYE hall in 1914.

Selected Poems

[chijinling]

No one at sunset, stop whips to borrow rafters. The beach is clear, the moon is broken, and the peak is black and round.

The sound of the ape is desolate, and the tiger is cool. The remnant Li family wanders away, where to cry.

[initial arrival in Luzhou]

After several long-term engagements, Haiyan will be at home. Don't be surprised by the color of the willow in the distance. The first sound is the plum blossom.

West window night rain leaves love words, Nanpu Chunbo feels Menghua. It is predicted that people will get off the bus sooner or later.

[duiyin (hundred and twenty first choice 2)]

Head enemy Cang Huang Fen a call, flying pill heavy blood fuzzy. Pity Yi to death ambition in, lie ask whale Kun Jian do not.

Addicted to Cai Guan Ding Ruo monk, the current term of Taishan collapse. Lead pills are like rain, smoke and ink, and the corpse is lying in the dome and sucking a lamp.
