The Fight Against Xing Tian: a one-to-one hit between a hero and a warrior

郑州之窗2021-04-16 09:33:00

 

In order to put an end to the strife in the world, the Yellow Emperor had fought numerous battles in his effort to unify the tribes of China. When the Yellow River Valley got basically pacified, there were still some tribes of certain strengths that refused to succumb, among which the tribe of Xing Tian was the most powerful.

为了结束天下纷争,黄帝在统一华夏诸部落时,打了无数的仗。黄河流域基本平定,但还有一些较有实力的部落心中不服,刑天的部落就是其中最厉害一个。

 

Xing Tian was a giant, he was formerly a minister under Emperor Yan; after Emperor Yan surrendered to the Yellow Emperor, he turned to support Chi You, but then Chi You was also defeated. “The mountain I relied on collapsed, the person I leaned on ran away. So let me rely on myself!” Therefore Xing Tian shook his huge body to start the challenge: I’ll avenge Your Majesty. Come on, you people of the Youxiong clan!

刑天是个巨人,原为炎帝的一个大臣,炎帝臣服于黄帝之后,他转而支持蚩尤,结果蚩尤也失败了。靠山山倒,靠人人倒,我还是靠自己吧!刑天晃动着巨大的身躯叫板:我要为大王报仇,有熊氏,你来啊。

 

The Yellow Emperor took peaceful arrangement as his priority, so he exhorted, “Xing Tian, let’s not fight any more, but let’s go hunting together.” But Xing Tian shook his very developed ectopectoralis and said, “Even if I agree, these two guys in my hands won’t agree.”

黄帝以和为贵,劝诫说:刑天,不要再打仗了,一起打打猎也行啊。刑天抖了抖发达的胸大肌,就算我同意,可我手里的这俩家伙不同意。

 

Then there was this grand and spectacular two-man battle, the swords dancing like snakes, lightning was stirred and sand was blowing; the chopping axe was resisted by shields, mountains fell and the earth split.

一场轰轰烈烈的双人对战,剑舞龙蛇,激电扬沙;斧劈盾挡,山崩地裂。

 

The last picture was like this: a huge body fell straight on the ground, while a great figure stood proudly with a word in his hand; and behind him, the setting sun looked like blood.

最后的画面是这样的:一副巨大的身躯轰然倒地,一个伟岸的身影持剑傲立,背后,残阳如血。

 

Although Xing Tian lost the battle, his bold and powerful image also impressed the later generations a lot. Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, wrote, “Xing Tian was waving a shield and an axe, his fighting spirit still remains”, referring exactly to this history of fighting with the Yellow Emperor.

刑天虽然战败,他的勇猛形象也给后世留下了深刻的印象。魏晋诗人陶渊明写道,刑天舞干戚,猛志固常在,说的就是这一段和黄帝大战的历史。(记者 黄修成)
