One of the "Five Impressions" by Du Fu.
The general was favored and fought for many years. If you have served the Holy Lord so far, you can repay the emperor.
Bones are fighting new battles, and the cloud platform is expanding its borders. I got the news by boat, but Zhang Qian was nowhere to be found.
"Five Poems with Feelings" was written in 763 AD. In that year, Tubo attacked the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was in danger, and the court was divided into two parties: "war" and "flee". Du Fu wrote a poem at this time, expressing his patriotism of not giving up an inch of land and sticking to Chang'an. The poem quotes the allusion of "Zhang Qian riding a chariot". It praises the strong soldiers and horses in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and is used to encourage the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield. In particular, "The bones of the dead are at war with each other, and the cloud platform is old with the border. I have broken the news by riding on a chariot, and there is nowhere to find Zhang Qian." The four sentences use the allusion of "the immortal rides on a chariot" to euphemistically say that a country cannot give up even an inch of its borders, and wars The old land was the land that belonged to the Han Dynasty since Zhang Qian's time. In the war, although there will be many new bones, but for the sake of the old "border expansion" and for the integrity of the country, the corpses are wrapped in horse leather, even though they die, they will be honored. This is tragic heroism.
Volume 4 of Zhao Yi's "Twenty-Two Historical Notes" contains an article "Han emperors often wrote their own edicts", which states that "the Han imperial edicts are the most impressive and are still recited to this day" and the diction is "remarkable" and "recited" in ancient and modern times. Some of the edicts "shu" are "written by the emperor himself". The first example he cited was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Li He, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in "The Golden Bronze Immortal Farewell to the Han Dynasty", "In August of the first year of Qinglong, Emperor Wei Ming, ordered the palace officials to lead a chariot to the west to take the Han Xiaowu Holding Dew Pan Immortal in order to erect it. In the front hall. After the palace official removed the plate and the immortal arrived, he burst into tears. Sun Li Changji, the king of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "The Golden Bronze Immortal's Farewell to the Han Dynasty". "Autumn Wind Guest" became the code name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty precisely because of "Autumn Wind Ci".
Su Shi's poem "Looking at the Three Mountains after the Snow in Laizhou" poem "Maoling Autumn Wind Guests, I urge you to have a drink; the imperial hometown cannot be expected, Chu will come back", and the poem "An Qisheng" "Maoling Autumn Wind Guests" "Looking at sacrifices is like ants and beetles; the sea is like melons and dates, which can be heard but not seen." is the same example. The article "Feilian Guan Wa" in Volume 1 of "Chibei Ou Tan" by Wang Shizhen of the Qing Dynasty mentions that Wang Yun of the Yuan Dynasty used an inkstone made of Feilian Guan Wadang of the Han Dynasty to write poems, and also called Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the "Autumn Wind Guest": "Yuan Dynasty Wang Wendingyun's "Autumn Stream Collection" contains "Feilian Pavilion Wax Inkstone Song", which says: "Liu Lang is a guest in the autumn wind, and the sacred bird is flying to recall the first frame. The leopard chapter has its head and tail, and the wind is biting." .
