Ancient frontier poets can be called war reporters, so how did they find the inspiration to write poems?

On the one hand, they feel it, on the other hand, they can write such good poems because they have experienced it on the battlefield. Some were created in the next few days, and some were created directly on the battlefield. The peak work of frontier fortress poets was in the Tang Dynasty. The frontier poems in Tang Dynasty not only reflected the cruelty of war, but also recorded the social scene at that time, which laid a good literary foundation for future generations to understand things at that time.

As a period of ancient poetry, Tang poetry occupies a very important position in the ancient history of China. Most of these writers went to the battlefield, and in the following days, they saw the homes of the poor people destroyed by the war, so they turned their blood into sharp words and wrote poems about their antipathy to the war and sympathy for the people, which not only caused great repercussions at that time, but also had a great impact on later generations.

Most wars are unjust wars. In order to satisfy the selfish desires of the rulers, soldiers and civilians had to charge for the rulers at the cost of their lives. In ancient times when imperial power was supreme, people at the bottom of society had no right to speak. All they can do is obey orders, and there is no other way. Although these poets sympathize with people's experiences, they are unable to change the status quo and can only express their feelings through poetry.

Especially those who live in frontier fortress, life is more difficult. In addition to the bad weather given by nature, the living environment has to endure harassment and plunder from other tribes. Because such a life is beyond the understanding of the ruling class, they can only struggle in such an environment. Even if war is waged, it is these people who will suffer in the end. The frontier fortress poets have recorded these situations very well, so that the public can understand that it is not easy for frontier fortress people.
