1. Joining the army: an old topic in Yuefu, which belongs to harmony songs and tunes, is mostly about military wars.
2. Bee fire: the signal of ancient frontier defense alarm. From the border to the inland, beacon towers are built along the way. If there is any enemy situation, they will be lit on the platform to show a warning. According to the priority of the enemy's situation, the number of bonfire torches has gradually increased. According to Xijing, the beacon fire indicating the alarm has reached Xijing (Chang 'an), indicating that the enemy situation is serious.
3. Uneven: It is difficult to calm down.
4. Tooth piece: a symbol of troop transfer. Together, the court and the viceroy each hold half. The embedded part is toothed, hence the name. This refers to the general commander who was ordered to go to war. Phoenix Que: Zhang Jian Palace built by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty has a bronze phoenix, so it is called Phoenix Que. Later, it was often used as a general term for the imperial palace.
5. Fighter: elite cavalry, referring to Tang Jun's left and right: left and right. Longcheng: The place where Xiongnu held worship to heaven in Han Dynasty, so it is located on the east side of Erhun River in Mongolia today. Here generally refers to the enemy's fortress.

The flat table of Join the Army
The bonfire shines in Xijing, even and flat.
My heart is uneven, even.
Zhang Ci's Fengque is flat and flat.
The fighters around Longcheng are Ma Pingchuan.
The flag is flat in the dark snow.
The wind is noisy and the drums are flat.
It is better to be a centurion's flat.
Learning is not as good as learning.
The language or characters of Han people in China usually use two words to form a word and become a Chinese syllable. In every five-character poem, the second word and the fourth word should pay the most attention to the harmony structure (seven-character poems should also pay attention to the harmony of the sixth word). Except the seventh sentence, the grammatical structure of each sentence is two words (nouns) plus a verb or adverb. For example:
Lighthouse-Photos-Xijing
Longcheng tieqi
And the seventh sentence is:
Preferably a centurion.
But when chanting, these three sentences will be read as follows:
Looking at the west of the lighthouse-Beijing
Iron Rider-Around Dragon-City
It is best to be-one hundred husbands-long.
Here we can see the importance of the second word and the fourth word, and the grammatical structure and syllable structure are contradictory. Many people recite ancient poems only according to the grammatical structure, and can't read the beautiful syllables of the poems.
After reading the leveling table in Military Service, we can find that if the second word is flat in the first sentence, then the fourth word must be flat. In couplets, if the second word of the previous sentence is flat, then the second word of the next sentence must also be flat. The same is true of the fourth word. This is called "different sounds follow".
The second couplet, that is, the second sentence of the whole poem, should still have the same tone as the first sentence, but the same tone as the second couplet. Next, the third sentence should be in the same tone as the second sentence, and the fourth sentence should be in the same tone. The method of learning the different sounds of the previous sentence is called "paste" in the Tang Dynasty. If it should be used,
