The jade sword is cut by autumn frost, and the pearl robe is illuminated by the setting sun. Cockfighting is a matter of great variety, and the height of the building is too high. The bow destroys the Nanshan tiger, and the hand catches the Taihang zodiac. Competing for style after drinking, using three glasses of wine to make a sword. Killing people is like cutting grass, and they are like traveling together. He went to Hangu with great strength and joined the army towards Lintao. After hundreds of battles, the Huns fled.

Translation of the poem: You are riding a dragon horse with white snowflake hair, with a shining golden saddle, you are like a Wuling hero. The sword you wear is as bright as autumn frost, and the cut jade is like mud; the robe you wear is studded with bright pearls, shining like the setting sun. It turns out that you are a cockfighter who serves the emperor, and the carriage you ride in has a high roof. You can use your bow to destroy a tiger in the Southern Mountains, and you can catch a flying scorpion in the Taihang Mountains with your stretched out arm.
You are in high spirits after drinking. After three drinks, you laugh and play with the sword. You kill people like cutting grass and travel around the world with Ju Meng. You finally remembered to change your wandering life and strive for fame. So you went to Hangu Pass angrily and followed the army to the Lintao front line.
After hundreds of battles, the Huns fled like rats. You have not changed your arrogance since your return. You drink all day long and refuse to bow to Prime Minister Xiao Cao. He is ashamed to learn the original constitution and lives in a remote place with grass and grass.

The original text of the poem: When I was drunk, I lit up the lamp to read the sword, and dreamed of blowing the trumpet in the camp. Eight hundred miles away, the people under his command are burning, and the sound of fifty strings turning over the Great Wall. Autumn brings troops to the battlefield. The horse moves very fast, and the bow is as frightening as a thunderbolt. Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win the reputation during and after death. Misfortune happens in vain!
Translation of the poem: When I was drunk, I turned on the oil lamp and looked at the sword. When I woke up, I heard the sound of the horn of the military camp. Share the beef with your subordinates and let the musical instruments play majestic military music to boost their morale. This is autumn military parade on the battlefield.
The war horse is like Lu, running very fast, and the bow and arrow are like thunder, shaking the ears. I want to complete the great cause of regaining the lost land of the country for you, and gain a good reputation that will be passed down from generation to generation. It's a pity that he has become a gray-haired man!
Extended information:
1. Appreciation of "The White Horse":
"Dragon horse with flowers and snow hair, golden saddle and Wuling hero", "Autumn frost cuts jade sword" , Sunset Pearl Robe", depicting the image of a hero.
"Cockfighting is a matter of great success, no matter how high the building is", "The bow destroys the tiger of Nanshan, and the hand catches the Taixing scorpion", it tells the story of the heroic man's suave and extraordinary martial arts.
"Competing for style after drinking, using three cups to make a sword", "killing people is like cutting grass, and traveling with Meng in drama" expresses that heroes do not adhere to etiquette and law, and hate evil as much as hatred.
"He went to Hangu with great strength and joined the army to Lintao", "After hundreds of battles, all the Huns fled", although they describe the patriotic spirit of heroes, they actually also vaguely reveal the poet's hope of making achievements.
"I came back drunk and refused to pay homage to Xiao Cao", "I was ashamed to enter the original palace, and I hid in the basil". The last four sentences mean that after defeating the enemy and returning victorious, I will neither be a slave to the powerful nor a slave to the powerful. I don't claim to be a noble person, but I want to live in seclusion in the wilderness and continue to live the life of a knight.
In this poem, the poet uses warm emotions, rich imagination, and exaggerated language to portray the image of a knight who is highly skilled in martial arts, serves his country and kills enemies, and retires after success. He was of noble birth, his sword was like autumn frost, his robe was adorned with pearls, his skills were high and bold, and he was comparable to the famous knight Meng. Although he fought hundreds of battles and was powerful to the barbarians, after he achieved success, he indulged in alcoholism and refused to bow down to high-ranking officials such as Xiao He and Cao Shen. Instead, he lived in seclusion in the wilderness.
He is chic and suave, heroic and brave, does not follow etiquette, and hates evil as much as hatred. What is particularly noteworthy is the patriotism. When the unity and stability of the motherland were threatened, he "went to the valley with anger and joined the army to Lintao". Regardless of his life and property, he bravely killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. When he returned from victory, he neither attached himself to the powerful, took credit for rewards, nor was passive. Retreat, escape reality.
This image embodies Li Bai’s thought of being a knight. Obviously, his idea of ??"Ren Xia" is closely related to his progressive political ideals and his fighting spirit against the decadent elites, which also shows the progressive significance of this idea of ??"Ren Xia" under the historical conditions at that time.

The whole word breaks the rules in terms of structure. The first nine sentences have one meaning, and the last sentence has another meaning. The last sentence negates the first nine sentences. The first nine sentences are written heartily and vividly, which is to emphasize the last five characters. Disappointment, this artistic technique embodies Xin Ci's bold style and originality.
