Poetry that embodies the national spirit comes from: "Marching the Army", "Crossing the Lingding Ocean", and "Showing Children". The specific verses are as follows:
1. The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Loulan will never be returned until it is broken! ——Wang Changling's "Walking in the Army"
Appreciation: "The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles" is a poem with strong summary power. The long time of guarding the border, the frequency of battles, the arduousness of the battles, the strength of the enemy troops, and the desolation of the border areas are all summarized in these seven words.
“A hundred battles” is relatively abstract. The word “yellow sand” highlights the characteristics of the northwest battlefield. “A hundred battles” comes from “wearing golden armor”, and we can even imagine the battle. It was difficult and fierce, and it can be imagined that there were a series of heroic sacrifices in the style of "white bones covering the basil" during this long period of time. However, although the golden armor was worn out, the soldiers' ambition to serve the country did not fade away, but became more determined in the tempering of the desert wind and sand.
"If Loulan is not destroyed, it will never be returned" is the heroic oath of the soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. The more difficult and frequent the battles are in the previous sentence, the more sonorous and powerful this sentence becomes.
2. Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history. ——Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"
Appreciation: Since ancient times, people have inevitably died! If you can be loyal to the country, you will still be able to shine for thousands of years after your death and leave your name in history.
The poem is tragic, passionate, and resounding. With its majestic momentum and high-pitched tone, it shows the poet's national integrity and view of life and death of sacrificing one's life for righteousness. It expresses the poet's sincere patriotic feelings and lofty spirit of seeing death as home, inspiring countless people. Patriots who sacrificed their lives and blood for the great cause of the nation.
3. When Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices. ——Lu You's "Shi'er"
Appreciation: "Wang Shibei sets the day for the Central Plains". The poet expresses his desire to regain the lost land in a tone of eager expectation. It shows that although the poet is sad, he is not desperate. The poet firmly believed that one day the Song Dynasty's army would be able to pacify the Central Plains and regain the lost territory. With this sentence, the mood of the poem changes from sadness to excitement.
"I have never forgotten to tell Naiwen after family sacrifices", my mood changed again, but I had no choice but to see the day when the motherland was reunified, so I had to place my hope on future generations. So I told my son affectionately, never forget to tell your father the good news of "Beiding Central Plains" during family sacrifices.
The poet's firm belief and tragic wish fully reflect the aging Lu You's patriotism and patriotic feelings. He was infected by it and deepened his love for the motherland.
