Completed the poems of Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei.

Song of the old general

[Tang] Wang Wei

When 15-20-year-old teenagers, they can capture the figure of Hu people riding horses on foot.

Shooting Zhongshan white-fronted tiger, he despised Ye's yellow-maned cavalry.

He has fought many battles and fought for three thousand miles. He once fought a million lions with one sword.

The Han army is as sharp as thunder, and the Lu country that tramples on each other is afraid of thistles.

Wei Qing's failure was due to the help of the gods, but Li Guang's failure was due to his fate.

Being abandoned doesn't have to be old, and the world has become the first in the past.

In those days, he was like an arrow shot at a lark by Hou Yi. Now he was born on his left elbow.

As a result, he was demoted to the roadside to sell melons and learned to make pottery to make the door green.

Ancient trees extend all the way to narrow lanes, and isolated mountains extend to cold windows.

Swear in Kashgar, pray for wells in Kashgar, and don't complain about alcohol.

Soldiers lined up like clouds on Helan Mountain, and books in the army were rumors day and night.

The special envoy of Red Festival went to Sanhe for conscription, and the commander-in-chief sent troops to General Five.

The veteran wiped out the armor of steel armor and used a sword with a flashing seven-star pattern.

May the swallow bow and shoot the heavenly generals, and shame the Yue family to sing Wu Jun.

Don't be afraid of color, think that the restoration of the governor Yun Guan was worth fighting for.

This poem was written by a veteran who was heroic when he was young, but was as frustrated as Li Guang in the Han Dynasty. It is very sad. It is even more tragic to be left out in the cold in your later years, but you don't forget the state affairs every year. This poem expresses admiration and sympathy. This poem is piled up with allusions, which is rather vague.
