Join the Army in the Northern Expedition Li Yi Series: Ancient poems about describing wars Join the Army in the Northern Expedition After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the sea is cold and windy, and the transverse flute is playing "The Road Is Difficult". Three hundred thousand people were recruited in Qili, and I looked back at the middle of the month. Note: 1 time: read piān. 2. Looking back: One is to turn back. Mid-March: The moon is bright. Translation: There was a heavy snowfall in the Tianshan Mountains, and a cold wind blew from the thin sea. During the march, the soldiers all played the flute song "The Journey Is Hard". There were 300,000 soldiers in the desert. At night, all the soldiers looked at the bright moon in the sky. Appreciation: Here is a magnificent and sad marching scene. The poet has cut, processed, and injected his own emotions to make it more condensed and concentrated before the readers. Li Yi had personal experience of the frontier fortress scenery and military career. His frontier fortress poems are different from the works of some people in that they are not based on imagination or simulation, but come directly from life. Therefore, his own shadow is often hidden in the poems, which has a special appeal to readers. The title of this poem is "Joining the Army in the Northern Expedition", which shows that the poet also participated in this expedition. He selected the most moving picture from the countless life materials he heard and witnessed during the expedition, and wrote it with a poem as fast as a sword. Cut into poetry. The first line of the poem, "After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the wind is cold in the sea," is the background of this painting. In just seven words, the region, season, and climate are clearly explained one by one, which effectively highlights the environmental atmosphere of this march. In this way, there is no need to directly describe the hardships of the march. Only the sentence "the fife is blown all over" reflects the mood of the marchers. "Difficulty in Traveling" is a flute song with a plaintive voice. The word "Bian Chui" is used here, which further indicates that what is being played at this time is not a lonely solo with a weak voice, but a harmonious and resounding one. The chorus of voices in the night sky brings readers into a state of sadness and strength. The last two lines of the poem, "Three hundred thousand people were recruited in Qili, looking back at the middle of the month," are the excitement caused by the sound of flutes in the army. The words "Qili" and "Middle of the Moon" in the sentence also color the background of this painting, and play a role in aggravating the first sentence, indicating that this expeditionary force is not only under the Tianshan Mountains after snow, in the biting cold wind, Moreover, in the desert and on a moonlit night, this makes people feel the desolation of the environment and the sadness of the atmosphere even more. Maybe some people feel that the number "three hundred thousand" and the description of "looking back" in these two sentences are not very realistic, because a marching team may not be so large, and it is impossible for the entire army to hear the sound of the flute at the same time. Looking back. However, poetry rooted in the reality of life should never just follow the same pattern when reflecting reality. In order to bring out a specific realm and achieve the greatest artistic effect, exaggeration is sometimes not only allowed but also required. If these two lines of Li Yi's poems must be written based on the actual number of people marching on Qishang and the on-site conditions reviewed by Wen Di, their artistic effect will be greatly reduced. Only by writing like this can we fully display the sadness of the flute and the mood of the vast army of soldiers, so that the grandeur of this expedition team marching in the desert can be best artistically reproduced, thereby achieving what Wang Guowei said, "the realm is completely out of control." ” artistic effect. Not only does this not violate the truth, but it also makes the truth more prominent, more complete, and more moving. The sound of music has a huge appeal on people. Li Yi is good at starting from this point of view and writing in some poems about borderland travels, allowing readers to enter the poetic realm with the sound of music, and get a glimpse of the inner world of the characters in the poem through the reactions caused by the music. In this poem, he only captures the action of looking back, without explaining why they looked back or what their mood was when they looked back, but the emotion is reflected in the scenery and the emotion is in the scenery. The emotion contained in this action is difficult to describe in words and can be imagined.
