Extended data:
The theme of this poem is serious. Because of its ferocity, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were well prepared. As a garrison sergeant, the author, through commanding the generals, sent garrison soldiers to guard China under the orders of the emperor, describing the seriousness of the army and the hardships of life.
The author's patriotic feelings are expressed through his hatred for you. It is also reflected in the description of their loyalty to their duties-the sharp contrast between "not eager for success", "not eager for success", "dare to settle down", "never leave" and extreme homesickness.
The whole poem is supplemented by touching descriptions of natural scenery: Wei Zhisheng, Wei Zhirou, Wei Zhigang, Tang Di bloom, Liu Yang, rain and snow, all of which set off the lives of soldiers, but they are all homesick. What is written here is the true thoughts of the soldiers, and the sad mood has not reduced the value of this article as a patriotic poem.
On the contrary, it shows people's pure, simple and reasonable ideological content and feelings, and it is this pure authenticity that gives this poem strong vitality and appeal.
