Two excellent songs
Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling
First of all:
It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war.
If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.
Second:
The general just stepped into a BMW with a white jade saddle to fight. After the battle, there was only bleak moonlight on the battlefield.
The drums on the wall are still echoing in the wilderness, and the blood on the sword in the sword box is still not dry.

Or the bright moon and the border pass in Qin and Han Dynasties, and Wan Li, who was guarding the border pass and fighting the enemy, has not returned yet.
If Wei Qing, who attacked Liuzhou, and Li Guang, the flying general, were still alive, the Huns would never be allowed to go south to herd horses and spend the Yinshan Mountain.
Secondly,
The general just stepped on a BMW with a white jade saddle. After the battle, there was only a bleak moonlight on the battlefield.
The drums on the head of the city are still echoing in the wilderness, and the blood on the treasure knife in the saber box is still wet.

This is a frontier fortress that laments the constant war on the border and the lack of a good general in the country.
Poetry begins with writing about scenery. In the first sentence, the words "bright moon in Qin dynasty, amorous feelings in Han dynasty" show a magnificent picture: a bright moon shines on the border. The poet only used a lot of sketches without detailed description, but it just showed the vastness of the frontier and the depression of the scenery, rendering a lonely and desolate atmosphere. What is particularly wonderful is that the poet decorated the moon and customs with the words "Qin and Han Dynasties", which made this picture of the moon approaching customs become a painting in time and endowed Wan Li with a long sense of border history. This is a "stroke of genius" produced by the poet's deep thinking about the long-term border war.
In the face of such a scene, people in the frontier feel moved by the scene, and naturally think of countless people who have devoted themselves to the frontier since the Qin and Han Dynasties and have not returned to their deaths. "The Long March has not yet returned" also points out the remoteness of the frontier fortress from a spatial perspective. The "people" here not only refer to the soldiers who died in the battlefield, but also refer to the soldiers who are still holding on and cannot return. "People have not returned" means that the border defense is not consolidated, and the second is sympathy for the foot soldiers. These are two sides of the same question, the former is the cause and the latter is the result. This is a big problem that has not been solved from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty. So in the third and fourth sentences, the poet gives the answer.
"Only make the Dragon City fly, don't teach Huma to spend the hills" is a combination of lyricism and discussion, which directly expresses the desire of border guards to consolidate their border defense and their ambition to defend their country, and is full of patriotic passion and national pride. The article is heroic and powerful. At the same time, these two sentences are ironic, showing the poet's dissatisfaction with the improper use of personnel by the court and the corruption and incompetence of the generals. There is a moral that makes people think endlessly.
Although this poem has only four short lines, its content is complicated through the description of frontier fortress scenery and conscription psychology. Have strong sympathy for the soldiers who have been defending for a long time, and have the desire to end this border defense regardless of the situation; At the same time, it also showed dissatisfaction with the court's failure to select and appoint talents, and at the same time paid attention to the overall situation and realized the justice of the war. Therefore, his personal interests are subordinate to the needs of national security, and he issued an oath of "not teaching Huma to turn over the shady mountain", which is full of patriotic passion.
The poet did not describe the frontier fortress scenery in detail, but chose a typical picture of garrison life to reveal the inner world of foot soldiers. Scenery description is only a means to describe the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Han Yuefu and DuDu are integrated into the scenery and saturated with the emotional color of the characters. The complex content is thrown into the four-line poem, which is profound, implicit and intriguing.
Secondly,
This poem describes the thrilling scene just after the battle. Hardly had the mare been saddled with white jade when the soldiers got on the horse. It was late at the end of the battle, and only the cold moonlight was left on the battlefield. The drums on the head of the city are still echoing in the wilderness, and the blood of the steel knife in the scabbard is not dry. With a few strokes, the poet vividly described the heroism of the soldiers and the demeanor of the winners.
Huaxiang steed is the best horse, which should be matched with the most beautiful white jade saddle bridge. You can imagine the prestige of this rider. This brave knight went to war with a "golden knife" (that is, Jin Cuodao). The knight, covered with moonlight and cold wind, returned home after a fierce battle. However, his whole spirit is still immersed in the dusty battlefield, and the drumming drums are still ringing in his ears. This chivalrous, brave and confident knight is not only the image of General Tang Jun in the poet's mind, but also the spiritual portrayal of the poet's determination to resist the enemy and his constant desire to fight for the battlefield. "The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shocking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box is not dry." This is really a magnificent cry from a staunch patriot, and it also clearly reflects the poet's ardent hope.
This poem expresses the traditional martial spirit characterized by self-confidence, enterprising and pioneering, and its style is vigorous and fresh. The poet's description of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is not literal, but an atmosphere. A fragment of battle life is selected in the poem, and a series of images of battle life are strung together with war images such as "beating horses", "battlefield", "iron bucket" and "golden knife", in which the fierceness of battle and the coldness of battlefield are included. At the beginning of the poem, the word "new leap" expresses the soldiers' fighting passion, while at the end of the poem, it describes the soldiers' hearts with a bloody scene that looks like "blood is still wet"-the blood has not cooled because of the end of the battle. This fierce and cold atmosphere vividly shows the brave and heroic spirit of the soldiers and their warm and inspiring style.
In this poem, the author describes the scene just after the battle, depicts the image of a fearless general, and enthusiastically praises the brave spirit of the soldiers who have contributed to the country's killing of the enemy.
The poet's description of victory is not literal, but an atmosphere. Wrote the heroic, passionate and inspiring style of the soldiers.
Creation background
Wang Changling wrote "Going beyond the Great Wall" when he went to the Western Regions in his early years. "Going beyond the Great Wall" is an old topic in Yuefu. Wang Changling lived in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Tang won many foreign wars, and the confidence of the whole nation was extremely strong. In the works of frontier fortress poets, an impassioned upward spirit and strong confidence in defeating the enemy can be reflected. At the same time, frequent border wars also make people feel overwhelmed and long for peace, and "Out of the fortress" reflects people's desire for peace.
The second poem in the group, the whole Tang poem, was also included in Li Bai's poems and made into Join the Army or March. However, there is no army in the comments on the Complete Works of Li Bai.
