First, the selection of materials is gorgeous, and a distinctive group image has been successfully created.
In many works, Qu Yuan portrays and expresses the poet's self-image by positive romanticism, such as Ode to an Orange, Li Sao and Crossing the River. In "Nine Songs", most of his praises are the gods of nature, while "National Mourning" is a song to commemorate the brave soldiers who died for their country. Qu Yuan defeated me from the enemy in the war, with magnificent materials, huge scenes and tragic feelings. A few words, let us appreciate the bloody scene of fierce fighting in the ancient battlefield, and also let us see the fearless spirit of Chu soldiers who would rather die than surrender, even though they were defeated. This selection fully embodies Qu Yuan's love for Chu and sincere feelings of infinite admiration for Chu soldiers, and successfully shapes the collective image of heroic soldiers.
Second, use a variety of techniques to vividly reproduce the tragic battle scene.
This poem gives a wonderful description of the battle scene. The first part describes the battle process. There are not many poems, but they are rich in content and flexible in brushwork. Just ten poems describe the whole process of Chu army going into battle, fighting with the enemy, being defeated and dying. Among them, he wrote that the enemy was numerous and powerful, and that the morale of the Chu army was high and he fought to the death. There is not only a detailed description of hand-to-hand combat, but also an atmosphere of angry corpses. Not only do you write about the soldiers' perseverance and efforts to kill the enemy, but you also write about the general's cold feet and drumming command. In writing, the author adopts three combinations: general description and specific description, dynamic description and still picture, fierce enemy and brave Chu army.
In addition, the poem also uses rhetorical methods of exaggeration and metaphor to describe the strength of the enemy and render the fighting atmosphere, which plays a role in setting off the fearless spirit of soldiers in the face of powerful enemies.
Thirdly, the central idea of this poem is fully expressed by echoing praise.
As the name implies, "National Mourning" is a song to mourn the dead martyrs. However, this poem written by Qu Yuan is not only for mourning the dead and expressing grief, but more importantly, it uses the fighting spirit and heroism of the dead soldiers to inspire people's morale, inspire people to share the same enemy, wash away shame, and thus revitalize Chu. Around this theme, this poem adopts the method of echo and praise. The second part of this poem praises the achievements and spirit of the martyrs. The content of the former is the basis of the latter's praise, and the text of the latter is the deepening of the former's narrative. The two are organically related, which set each other off and become interesting, perfectly showing the central idea of the poem.
Fourthly, the neat and concise sentence patterns enhance the solemnity of the whole poem.
The language of most of Qu Yuan's works is full of romanticism, colorful language and colorful flowers. However, in the poem "Mourning the Country", due to the solemn theme, Qu Yuan adopted a simple, popular, firm and firm sentence pattern. The sentence pattern is neat and concise, and the fourth word of each sentence uses the same sentence pattern "Xi", which not only enhances the rhythm of the poem, but also makes the emotional expression more solemn and solemn.
