Although there was a history of war between cities.
Although I took the branch and returned it.
How many customs, how many joys and sorrows.
You will always be a heartless building.
Squatting on the desolate top of the mountain
Look at human grievances coldly
Why can't I sing it to you?
Write what you can't write.
When I mention you, there will be a fire.
There's your body in the fire, Wan Li.
With your thousand-year-old face
There are your clouds, your trees and your wind.
Chilechuan Yinshanxia
The moonlight should be like water tonight.
The Yellow River will still flow by you tonight.
Flowing into my sleepless dreams
The Great Wall is a witness to the history of the Chinese nation. The Great Wall is the war history of the Chinese nation; The Great Wall is a symbol of the history of the great Chinese nation. Xi Murong's Ballad of the Great Wall: "It is a lyric poem about things. In this poem, the poet uses the only image that can best express his feelings-the Great Wall. The poet uses the techniques of association, personification and parallelism to outline the image of the Great Wall, expressing the poet's strong yearning and love for his hometown. The whole poem is in the form of folk songs, with simple language, sincere feelings and distant artistic conception, which embodies the poet's deep sadness.
The poet's mind is very open. At the beginning of poetry, the poet looked at the Great Wall from a historical perspective, and from the pass on the Great Wall, he associated the history of the Great Wall, the history of national wars and the joys and sorrows of the nation, which triggered the poet's profound sense of national history. Then, the poet outlined the image of the Great Wall: "You will always be a ruthless building/squatting on the top of a barren hill/coldly looking at human grievances." "Ruthlessness", "crouching" and "cold eyes" are all descriptions of the Great Wall, and the poet personifies the Great Wall through personification. The Great Wall seems to be a bystander of history, but the Great Wall itself is an evolutionary history with tortuous experiences. The Great Wall has witnessed the brevity and ruthlessness of history. Then, the poet expressed his feelings and expressed his fiery national feelings condensed in the Great Wall. "Body" and "face" are imagery descriptions of the Great Wall, which make the image of the Great Wall more vivid and prominent. "There are your clouds, your trees and your wind" adopts the method of parallelism, which strengthens the poet's emotional expression: he misses every grass and tree in his hometown, and this kind of yearning is getting stronger and stronger. In the last section, the poet daydreamed about his hometown and the Great Wall: "Chilechuan, under the shady mountain/tonight should be like water", and outlined a quiet and bright artistic conception. Moonlight is like water, yellow river dream. Here, the poet sang the deep feeling of homesickness.
The use of variations and jumps is a major feature of this poem. The first paragraph of the poem, "You will always be a heartless building/squatting on a barren hill", is written in variant characters. According to the normal word order, it should be "You will always be a heartless building squatting on a barren hill". Through the inversion of word order, the poet causes the dislocation of sentence components, which makes the poem form a sense of texture and tension, and makes the image of "ruthlessness" and "crouching" of the Great Wall more vivid. For another example, in the third paragraph of the poem, "Chilechuan under the Yinshan Mountain", the poet wrote in a leap-forward language, omitting the preposition "zai,,,,". Through this omission, the space jump of poetry is caused.
As a lyric poem, lyricism is one of the greatest characteristics of this poem. As a lyric image of the poet, the Great Wall embodies the national history and spirit, China cultural tradition and the poet's unique personal feelings. Therefore, in the second poem, the poet's feelings are revealed: "Why can't you sing/write? You can't write/mention that you have a fire?" Why did the poet do this? This is because the poet has integrated the Great Wall into his life. The thick history and tortuous experience of the Great Wall made the poet pin his deep feelings on the Great Wall. This feeling affects the homesickness of poets who are far away from their homeland. So in the third section, we can express the poet's sincere homesickness: "Chilechuan, under the shady mountain/tonight should be like water/and the Yellow River will still flow by you/into my sleepless dream tonight". Although the history of the national war has passed, it still touches the poet's heartstrings. In this sleepless night, the poet's thoughts are in the distance, from reverie to Chilechuan, the moonlight shining like water under the shady mountain and the Yellow River flowing by the Great Wall suddenly return to reality, and the poet expects this melancholy to flow into his dream with the Yellow River. In my dream, I will see my hometown.
Sleepless dreams, sleepless thoughts.
