Liangzhou Ci, also known as Liangzhou Qu. It is the lyrics of Liangzhou song, not the title of the poem, but the title of the popular song in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Frontier Poems of William Wang's Liangzhou Ci. The first two sentences of "don't laugh when you are drunk in the battlefield, and you have fought several times since ancient times" are "night glass of wine, you should drink pipa right away". The first two sentences are figurative rhetoric, which paves the way for the last two sentences, and then the last two sentences are rhetoric, which achieves the artistic conception that the poet wants.
"Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, there have been several wars in ancient times" is a rhetorical device. The sentence first expresses the definite meaning in the form of a question, which is clear to everyone and doesn't need to be answered, because the answer is on the opposite side of the question. The function of this rhetorical question is to strengthen the tone and express strong feelings, thus causing readers to think deeply.
"Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield, you have fought several times since ancient times" means: you must be drunk today, even if you are drunk on the battlefield. This time, I went out to serve my country. I'm dying, but I'm not ready to come back alive.
"Don't laugh when you are drunk in the battlefield, and you have fought several times since ancient times" shows the scene of soldiers persuading wine before the war. Soldiers are not afraid of war, and people are not drunk. Facing the war, the soldiers are still drinking. Some want to put down their glasses, while others shout: What are you afraid of? Drunk, but what's wrong with getting drunk on the battlefield? Some are telling others, don't underestimate yourself, I have put life and death aside!
It can be seen that the three or four sentences of "drunken lying on the sand, you don't laugh, and you have fought several times since ancient times" are words that describe the scene of persuading wine, not sadness. Although there is some banter, it is also a "reason" to get drunk. Find a cheerful environment and reveal the personality characteristics of soldiers. Drunk on the battlefield shows not only brave, bold, cheerful and excited feelings, but also the spirit of death. It should be said that this is consistent with the warm atmosphere shown by the luxurious banquet.
This is a pleasant feast. Scenes and artistic conception are by no means one or two people drowning their sorrows in wine. The mood reflected by its bright language and fluctuating rhythm is unrestrained and fanatical, showing an exciting and yearning artistic charm, which is the characteristic of frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
These two sentences, "Drunk in the sand, you don't laugh, have fought several times since ancient times", tell us that no matter what kind of scene, as long as rhetoric is used well, the author's artistic conception will leave a deep thought for readers. Liangzhou Ci is a good example.
