Original text:
Riding a bike to visit the border and passing through Juyan County.
Pengpeng also floated out of Korea, and the geese heading north also flew into the sky.
The vast desert is lonely, and the Yellow River sets the yen.
When I arrived at the small pass, I met a spy waiting for the knight and told me that Dou Hu was in Yan.
Precautions:
1, riding: riding alone. Ask the border: condolences to the border defense.
2. Belonging country: refers to those ethnic minorities who are attached to the Han court and retain their country names. There were some governors in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The second refers to the official name. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was an official named Cai Guo, who was awarded by Su Wu after he returned to Han Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty sometimes called frontier envoys vassal countries. Juyan: Place name, called Juyanze in Han Dynasty and Juyanhai in Tang Dynasty, located in the northern border of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia. There is Juyan County in Zhangye County of the Western Han Dynasty (refer to Geography of Hanshu), so the old city is in the southeast of Jina Banner. In addition, in the secretariat of Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhangye Juyan was a vassal state, and its jurisdiction was in Juyanze area. This sentence generally says that Wang Wei passed by Juyan. However, Wang Wei's task does not actually need to go through Juyan. Therefore, Feng's Selected Poems and Songs of China in Past Dynasties thinks that this sentence is about the vastness of the frontier fortress in the Tang Dynasty, and the vassal states are outside Juyan.
3, sign Peng: Pengcao flies with the wind, here is the poet's self-metaphor.
4, returning to the wild goose: because the season is summer, wild geese fly north, so it is called returning to the wild goose into the lake field.
5. Desert: the big desert, here refers to the desert north of Liangzhou. Solitary smoke: Zhao Diancheng's note has two explanations: when the ancient border guards called the police, a cloud burned wolf dung, and its smoke gathered straight, although the wind blew it away. The second cloud is a whirlwind beyond the Great Wall, which is rolling up smoke and dust. According to the fact that some people have visited Gansu and Xinjiang on the spot, there is indeed a whirlwind like a solitary smoke. Also: solitary smoke may also be a safety fire used in border defense in Tang Dynasty. General Canon Volume 2 1 Yakumo: At dusk, peace and fire will not come. Hu Sansheng's Note: Six Classics: When Tang Zhen looked at the wind, it was 30 miles away. On the first night of every day, a torch is lit, which is called the fire of peace.
6. Long River: It is suspected that Shiyang River now flows through the desert north of Liangzhou.
7. Xiaoguan: The name of Guguan, so the address is in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia. Wait: scout. Wang Wei went to Hexi without going through Xiao Guan. Here he probably used He Xun's poems to ride out of Xiao Guan and pursue troops to Mayi, which is not true.
8. Duhu: official name. There were six counties in the northwest of Tang Dynasty, such as Anxi and Anbei. Each county sends a guardian and two deputies to take charge of all affairs within its jurisdiction. Ran Yan: As the name implies, it is in today's Mongolian Khan Mountain. Biography of Dou Xian in the later Han Dynasty: Xian led the army to defeat Khan, so he climbed the mountain, stuck to it for more than 3,000 miles, carved stones and made meritorious deeds, and wrote an inscription for Ban Gu. When I met a waiting rider on the road, I learned that the coach was still at the front line after breaking the enemy.
Poetic:
Going to the frontier alone, the task is blocked in the northwest.
Like a grass floating in the wind,
Entering the customs is like a wild goose flying north.
A solitary smoke was lit on the beacon tower,
Soaring in the vast desert,
The winding Yellow River reflects the residual red of the sunset.
When I arrived at the frontier fortress, I didn't meet the general.
Reconnaissance cavalry reported that they were all on the border.
Appreciate:
"Make it in the Shanzhai" is contained in The Whole Tang Poetry 126. This poem depicts the difficult situation of the frontier fortress and expresses the author's sadness and loneliness of wandering around the world.
If you want to ask questions by bike, you can go there instead of by bus. The place you go is: Your country is too long. Juyan is now in the northwest of Zhangye County, Gansu Province, far from the northwest frontier.
Pengpeng also floated out of Korea, and the geese heading north also flew into the sky. The poet compared himself to a wild goose, saying that he came out of Hans like a floating weed and entered Hu Tian like a wild goose flying north. In ancient poetry, flying over the eaves and walking over the wall is often used as a metaphor for a wandering wanderer, but here it is a metaphor for a minister with a court mission, who is secretly writing the poet's inner anger and depression. Echoes the bicycle in the first sentence. The trip to Wan Li took only ten words.
Then it describes the typical scenery in the desert: the desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen.
The last two sentences are written to arrive at the frontier fortress: Xiao Guan and other riders are all protected in Yanran. When I arrived at the frontier fortress, I didn't see the general. The scouts told the special envoy that the general was at the front.
The poet focuses his pen and ink on what he is best at winning. The author's mission takes place in spring. On the way, I saw a few lines of returning geese to the north. The poet made a metaphor on the spot, and compared himself with returning geese, which was both narrative and scenery-writing, which was natural and appropriate. Especially the desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen. After entering the frontier fortress, he wrote a strange and magnificent scenery outside the frontier fortress, with an open picture and magnificent artistic conception, which was called a famous sentence by his neighbor Wang Guowei. The frontier desert is boundless, so the Chinese characters of the desert are used. The frontier fortress is desolate and wonders. The smoke lit by the beacon tower is particularly eye-catching, so it is called solitary smoke. An isolated word describes the monotony of the landscape, followed by a straight word, but it shows its strength and perseverance. There are no mountains and trees in the desert, and the Yellow River, which flows through it, does not have a long word, which cannot express the poet's feelings. Sunset, originally easy to give people a sentimental impression, here is a round word, but it gives people a warm and boundless feeling. A round figure, a straight figure, not only accurately describes the desert scenery, but also shows the author's deep affection. The poet skillfully blends his loneliness into the description of the vast natural scenery. A passage from the forty-eighth poem in A Dream of Red Mansions can be regarded as the superb artistic realm of these two poems.

Precautions:
1, sent to frontier fortress: ordered to be sent to frontier fortress. Dispatch: Send a special envoy.

3. Attribution country: There are several explanations: one refers to the ethnic minorities who are attached to the Han court and retain their country names. There were some governors in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The second refers to the official name. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was an official named Cai Guo, who was awarded by Su Wu after he returned to Han Dynasty. The vassal state, the abbreviation of classical state, was called the official in charge of foreign affairs as a classical state in the Han Dynasty, and the Tang people sometimes called it the envoy of the vassal state to set the border. Poets used to refer to it as an envoy. Juyan: Place name, called Juyanze in Han Dynasty and Juyanhai in Tang Dynasty, located in the northern border of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia.

4. The withered Peng fluttering in the wind is the poet's self-metaphor.
5. Returning to the wild goose: The wild goose is a migratory bird that flies north in spring and south in autumn. This refers to the geese flying north. Hu Tian: Hu Ren's territory. This refers to the north occupied by Tang Jun.
6. Desert: Great desert, which refers to the desert in the north of Liangzhou. Solitary smoke: Zhao Diancheng's note has two explanations: when the ancient border guards called the police, a cloud burned wolf dung, and its smoke gathered straight, although the wind blew it away. The second cloud is a whirlwind beyond the Great Wall, which is rolling up smoke and dust. According to later generations' field visits to Gansu and Xinjiang, it is confirmed that there is indeed a cyclone like a solitary smoke.

Hu Sansheng's Note: Six Classics: When Tang Zhen looked at the wind, it was 30 miles away. On the first night of every day, a torch is lit, which is called the fire of peace.
7. Long river: the Yellow River; One refers to an inland river that flows through the desert north of Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu). This river was called Macheng River in Tang Dynasty, and it is suspected that it is Shiyang River today.
8. Xiaoguan: The name of Guguan, also known as Longshan Pass, is located in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia. Standby: cavalry in charge of reconnaissance and communication. Wang Wei went to Hexi without going through Xiao Guan. Here he probably used He Xun's poems to ride out of Xiao Guan and pursue troops to Mayi, which is not true. Waiting for a ride: one is waiting for an official.
9. Duhu: In the northwest frontier of the Tang Dynasty, there were six Duhu governments, including Anxi and Anbei. Their officials are called Duhu, and each government sends a guard and two deputies to take charge of all affairs within its jurisdiction. This refers to the former enemy commander in chief. Ran Yan: As the name implies, it is in today's Mongolian Khan Mountain. This represents the front line. Biography of Dou Xian in the later Han Dynasty: Xian led the army to defeat Khan, so he climbed the mountain, stuck to it for more than 3,000 miles, carved stones and made meritorious deeds, and wrote an inscription for Ban Gu. When I met a waiting rider on the road, I learned that the coach was still at the front line after breaking the enemy.
Translation:
I want to go to the border crossing by bike, and the country I pass by has passed my residence.
Thousands of miles of cornices also floated out of Sai Han, and the geese heading north soared in the sky.
Solitary smoke goes straight to the vast desert, and the sunset on the endless Yellow River is round.
When you meet detective knight in Xiaoguan, tell me that Duhu is already in Yanran.

Jiangling envoy to Ruzhou
Minister of Wang Jianwei Jiangling in Ruzhou
Looking back, the road is in the clouds, and cold food is cooked at home.
At sunset, the peaks are green, and businessmen say it is Ruzhou Mountain.
Translation and annotation
Looking back at Balu, I saw the white road, like silk, extending forward and finally disappearing into the sky between clouds.
Cold food left home, and the suburbs were still green. When I got home, the fields were already golden.
In the evening, several green peaks appeared in front.
Businessmen in the same trade said it was a mountain near Ruzhou.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem was written by Wang Jian when he went to Jiangling for the first time and went to Ruzhou (now Linru County, Henan Province) on his way back.
The first sentence is looking back. Balu refers to the road leading to Jiangling and Badong. It is a long journey from Jiangling to Ruzhou. Looking back at Balu, I saw the white road, like silk, extending forward and finally disappearing into the sky between clouds. This sentence shows that it is still far from the destination of the mission, Jiangling, and the return trip is coming to an end. Looking at the south, there will certainly be some nostalgia and yearning for Jiangling, which is far away from Yunshan, but what fills the poet's mind at this time is mainly the joy that the return journey is coming to an end. So the second sentence immediately looks forward and calculates the date of return. Wang Jian's home in Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan) is very close to Ruzhou, and when he arrives in Ruzhou, he is almost home. Cold food is made after leaving home, and it is unremarkable, as if it is just an objective explanation of the time and season of leaving home and returning home. The long journey back and forth, the hardship on the road, the urgency of returning home, and the changes in scenery in different seasons on the way are all hidden between the lines. Cold food left home, and the suburbs were still green. When I got home, the fields were already golden.
Translate the scenery seen on the road ahead. At sunset, the peaks are green, and businessmen say it is Ruzhou Mountain. In the evening, several green peaks appeared in front of us, and the merchants in the same trade said they were mountains near Ruzhou. Write a few sentences lightly, stop slowly, only say what you have seen and heard on the road, but you can't feel a word of mood and feelings, but you have a charm of your own, a leisurely and endless atmosphere.
From the perspective of landscape painting alone, using clean and bright brushstrokes to draw several well-defined and verdant peaks on a hazy background can really give people a sense of beauty and freshness. People can even imagine the sunny weather, the clear sky and the striking and beautiful posture of these peaks from the green of several peaks. But it seems that its advantage lies not in writing landscapes, but in subtly conveying a traveler's unspeakable mood in the specific environment at that time.
This special situation is that the return trip mentioned above is coming to an end, and it is approaching Ruzhou, the nearest big station head. Such a stop is undoubtedly attractive to travelers who are eager to return home, and naturally they will pay special attention to its appearance. When I looked forward, I suddenly saw several peaks, which attracted people's attention. I can't help asking the businessmen in the same trade, who inadvertently said it was the mountain of Ruzhou. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. At this moment, the poet's heart will naturally be filled with a happy, excited mood and cordial feelings. However, the author didn't bother to describe the mood at that time, but just started writing lightly and revealed what he saw and heard, which naturally constituted a rich artistic conception and fascinating style.
Ji Xing's poems will naturally write about mountains and rivers, but its attraction is often not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because of the poet's mood under certain circumstances. This artistic beauty, which is composed of scenery and artistic conception, is often the mystery of the artistic strength of Ji Xing poems (especially short poems).

Original text:
The distance from the east home is very long, and the tears are wet and the sleeves are still flowing.
I'll meet you immediately, without paper and pen. Please tell my family that I'm safe.
Precautions:
1. Ambassador to Beijing: Special envoy in Beijing.
Hometown: refers to Chang 'an and his home in Chang 'an. L: It's a long way.
3. Dragon Bell: The way tears drop. Bian He's Song of Revenge: The Dragon Bell with Tears in the Empty Mountain. It means to get wet here.
4, rely on: support, bother, please. Message: Please leave a message.
Poetic:
Looking east to my hometown is a very long journey.
Tears are wet and the sleeves are still flowing.
I met you on horseback, without paper and pen,
Please tell my family that I am safe and sound.
Appreciate:
This poem was written by a poet who happened to meet an eastern practitioner who went to Chang 'an on his way to the west, which aroused the poet's infinite homesickness and expressed the poet's open, heroic and optimistic mind. The wandering journey and homesickness are fully revealed in the poem.
The east of the old garden is far away, and it is written about the actual feelings in front of you. The poet has left his hometown for many days and is on his way to the western regions. Looking back at Chang' an, the hometown of the East, it is of course a long way, and the feeling of missing can't help but attack my heart, and the feeling of homesickness is hard to accept. Hometown refers to the home in Chang 'an. Looking east means pointing out the location of Chang 'an.
The tears of the dragon bell with double sleeves are dry, which shows that the tears of homesickness can't be wiped off, so that both sleeves are wet, but the tears just can't stop. This sentence expresses the feelings of missing relatives with exaggerated rhetoric, and also lays a high foundation for writing a book and reporting peace at home.
Don't use paper and pencil immediately when you meet, and leave a message to report peace. These two sentences are written in Beijing when an emissary wants to bring a book home to report peace, but suffers from the situation that there is no pen and paper. They were completely anxious to see the traveler at once, and they behaved very vividly. Every sentence points out the topic. On the way to Anxi, I met an old friend, who was the messenger to Beijing. They both rode on horseback, arms crossed. One went west, and the other returned to Chang 'an in the East. His wife was in Chang 'an, and he just asked his old friend to bring back a letter of peace, but there was no pen and paper, so I couldn't bear to write. I have to ask my old friend to give you a message. This last poem is very concise and neat, but it contains the poet's deep affection, faint taste and charm in simplicity. Cen Can's trip is full of ambition to become famous overnight. At this time, the mood is complicated. On the one hand, he has tenderness and homesickness for the imperial city, on the other hand, he also shows the poet's heroic mind eager to make contributions. Tenderness and pride are intertwined and touching.
The language of this poem is simple and natural, full of rich frontier life flavor, with both life interest and human touch, fresh and lively, profound aftertaste, sincere and sincere. Poets are good at refining and summarizing the thoughts and words of many people by artistic means, making them typical. It shows rich charm among the people and can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time. This is the characteristic of Cen Can's poems.
