Origin Story
公元1276年，南宋丞相文天祥在被元军俘虏后，写下了一首著名的爱国诗《过零丁洋》。诗中写道：“山河破碎风飘絮，身世浮沉雨打萍。”这句诗深刻地反映了南宋国土沦丧、人民流离失所的悲惨现实，也表达了诗人强烈的爱国之情。“山河破碎”四个字，形象地描绘了当时国家山河支离破碎，国土沦陷的悲惨景象。元军入侵，南宋军队节节败退，大片土地落入元军手中，人民流离失所，家园被毁，百姓饱受战乱之苦。文天祥亲眼目睹了这幅惨状，悲愤交加，写下了这首诗，以表达他对国家命运的担忧和对人民的深切同情。
In 1276 AD, after Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was captured by the Mongol army, he wrote a famous patriotic poem, "Passing Zero Ding Ocean". The poem reads: "The mountains and rivers are shattered like windblown fluff, and life floats and sinks like rain-beaten duckweed." This line of poem profoundly reflects the tragic reality of the loss of land and displacement of people in the Southern Song Dynasty, and also expresses the poet's strong patriotic feelings. The four characters "shattered mountains and rivers" vividly depict the tragic scene of the country's mountains and rivers being shattered and the land falling into the hands of invaders. The Mongol army invaded, and the Southern Song army retreated steadily, with large areas of land falling into the hands of the Mongol army, causing widespread displacement and destruction of homes, with people suffering greatly from the ravages of war. Wen Tianxiang witnessed this tragic scene firsthand, and his grief and indignation led him to write this poem to express his concern for the fate of the country and his deep sympathy for the people.
