Song of Xia Sai is an old title of Han Yuefu, which belongs to Song of Cross Blowing, and its content is mostly the frontier battle. The original * * * six songs, Heng Tang decided to choose four of them. This is the third poem in Lulun's poem Song of the Frontier. Lu Lun used to be a marshal judge of the shogunate, and he had a good understanding of the life of soldiers. Poetry describing this life is more substantial and powerful in style. This poem is about the heroic feat of the general preparing to lead his troops in pursuit of the enemy on a snowy night.
Poetry begins with a scene. "High in the faint moonlight, geese are soaring" is not the scene in the eyes, but the scene in the heart. It is not the normal time for geese to fly when it is dark on a snowy night. Su Yan's panic showed that the enemy was on the move. A few words not only interpreted time as winter, but also set off the tension before the war.
"Chief Tatar is escaping through the darkness", and the enemy's action at night is not to lead the troops to attack, but to escape under the cover of moonlight. The poem is full of positive tone, clear judgment, contempt for the enemy and our army's belief in victory, which excites readers.
The last two sentences describe the general preparing to chase the enemy, which is unusual. "And we chase it, and the horse is lightly burdened." The general found that the enemy had absconded and wanted to lead the light cavalry to pursue it; Not only is it fast, but it also shows a high degree of confidence. When the warriors set out in line, a heavy snow began to fall. Although they didn't stand for a while, the bow and knife were covered with snowflakes in an instant. Covered the cold light of their weapons. They are like arrows about to leave the string. Although they haven't set off yet, they are full of confidence in victory.
The last sentence "and the burden of snow on our bows and swords" is a description of the cold scene, highlighting the hardships of fighting and the brave spirit of soldiers.
Although there are only twenty words in this poem, it tells the truth at that time: Khan led the army to flee in the scene of "the moonlight is faint and high, and yan zhen is soaring into the sky", and the general prepared to lead the army to attack in the extremely cold weather of "and a burden of snow on our bow and knife". Escape and chase all the nervousness. Although the poem does not directly describe the fierce battle scenes, it leaves readers with a broad imagination space and creates a long poetic atmosphere.
Creation background

After the Zhu Rebellion, Hun Wang of Xianning went out of Zhenhe and promoted Lu Lun as the judge of Marshal's Office. In the military camp, Lulun saw all the solemn frontier fortress scenes and all the rough and heroic soldiers, so he wrote this frontier fortress poem.
