Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds.
The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass.
At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai.
This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive.
The soldiers turned and looked at the border, thinking of home with longing eyes.
The soldier's wife looked at the tower and lamented when she would see her relatives far away.
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds. The mighty long wind blew through Yumen Pass where Wan Li and the soldiers were stationed. In those days, Han soldiers pointed to Deng Bai Mountain Road, and Tubo coveted a large area of rivers and mountains in Qinghai.
This is the place where wars have been fought for generations, and few soldiers who fought can survive. Garrison soldiers looked at the border town from a distance, and they couldn't help looking sad when they missed their hometown. At this time, the wives of the soldiers are in the tall building, sighing when they can see their relatives in the distance.

This poem still inherits the ancient Yuefu in content, but the poet's brushwork is bold and has been greatly improved.
The first four sentences of this poem mainly describe the broad frontier prospect composed of three factors: Guan, Shan and Yue, and express the homesickness of the combatants. The middle four sentences specifically describe the war scenes, and the battlefield is fierce and cruel; The last four sentences are written to ask people to look at the edge of the land and miss their hometown, and then infer that their wives sigh at the tall buildings in the moonlight.
These last four sentences are in the same style as "And you finally want to go home and now my heart is breaking" in the poet "Spring Thoughts". And "because there is no famous battle in history that sent all the soldiers back" is synchronous with "but now the ancient times are a piece of yellow dust, confusing its ruins and bones in the grass"
