The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook.
don't be a gold-winding brain, just walk in the clear autumn.
It means: Wan Li in Pingsha looks like a layer of white frost and snow in the moonlight. On the continuous Yanshan mountains, a bright moon is in the sky, like a hook. When can I be appreciated by the emperor and put a bridle made of gold on this fine horse, so that I can gallop on the battlefield in autumn and make contributions?
In addition, Ma Shi expresses the poet's extraordinary talents, lofty aspirations, and feelings and resentment at times by praising, praising or lamenting the fate of horses.
Extended information
Author profile
Li He (79 ~ 816), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Longxi. Li He is a distant branch of the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty, whose family background has long since declined and his life has been difficult. Li He was brilliant and diligent when he was a teenager, but some people were jealous of his talent and slandered that his father's name was Jin Su, so he should avoid his father and avoid taking the imperial examination for Jinshi. For this reason, Han Yu once wrote an article "Taboo Debate" to refute rumors. However, Li He had no choice but to be the first in the exam because of this, and he only served as a junior official with nine grades.
Li He's poems like to construct an illusory and blurred artistic realm with bold and bizarre imagination in fairy tales and ghost worlds, and express the sentimental mood of fleeting time. Because some of his works are gloomy and gloomy, Li He is called "Shi Gui" by later generations.
Creative background
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, where the author Li He lived, the separatist regime in the buffer region was very serious, and the central government could do little about the forces in the buffer region. The Yanshan Dynasty in the poem refers to the area where the buffer towns in Youzhou, Hebei Province are the most ravaged. The author expresses his hope to make contributions and settle the ideal of separatist regime by chanting Malay, and at the same time expresses his resentment that he is not talented.
Appreciation of Works
This poem mainly uses the technique of metaphor to express feelings through horses, and expresses the ability, ambition and feelings of talented people by chanting horses.
The first two sentences of the poem describe the scenery with extremely rich border features, and paint a peaceful and spacious picture. The Yanshan Mountains on the border are endless, and a bright moon hangs in the sky in the clear autumn night. The desolate desert Gobi is flat and boundless, and the gravel is like frost and snow in the moonlight, giving people a cold feeling. The "hook" in "the moon is like a hook" is a kind of weapon. The image of the weapon is associated with the crescent moon, which shows that the poem contains the author's inner activities of fighting for the enemy and serving the country. The battlefield environment is harsh, but it is a place where heroes can play. The background description of these two sentences uses two metaphors, and at the same time leads to lyricism with scenery, and also uses the technique of "xing"

The last two sentences of the poem are to express feelings. The poet imagines when the steed will be fully armed and equipped to gallop the battlefield and establish meritorious deeds. Because at that time, the atmosphere was not peaceful, the author was talented but unable to stretch, hoping to make contributions without being appreciated, so the poem was full of melancholy and indignation, but also ambitious and eager to find his own place to use. "Golden Collar Brain" is a valuable decoration, symbolizing being reused. The word "when" strongly conveys the poet's infinite hope. The phrase "Let's go quickly and set foot on the clear autumn" vividly highlights the graceful demeanor of a light and agile horse, and expresses the author's feeling that it is not difficult to make use of the world and achieve far-reaching goals.
common sense of literature
Chang Ji style: Li He's poetry creation is longer than Yuefu, and he mostly expresses his political dissatisfaction. In poetry, he is good at using myths and legends, melting and casting ci, galloping imagination and creating novel and magnificent poetic scenes, which is unique in the history of poetry and its style is called "long auspicious style"
Idiom allusions
The idiom "painstaking efforts" was originally two words. The word "painstaking efforts" came from the story of Li He and the word "painstaking efforts" came from Han Yu's works.
It is said in Li Hechuan, a Book of the New Tang Dynasty, that Li He likes to write poems since he was a child. He often travels around on a donkey. When he sees a good theme, he immediately writes it down as information, puts it in a book bag he carries with him, and then writes a collection of poetry materials when he gets home. His mother knew that her son had seriously damaged his health by writing poems too hard, so she said with concern, "It's a shame for a son to vomit his heart" (the child won't stop until he vomits his heart)!
"Bleeding" comes from Han Yu's Return to Pengcheng: "Think of your liver as paper, and bleed with words". It means cutting off the liver to make paper and dripping blood to make ink to write poetry.
people combine "painstaking efforts" and "painstaking efforts" to express their painstaking efforts. Now it also refers to seriously engaging in education, or painstakingly studying science and technology and assiduously discussing skills.

This horse is extraordinary, and the house star is a star.

dark clouds are pressing the city to destroy, and the light is spreading to the sun.
the horn is sounding all over the sky in autumn, and the night purple is stuffed with swallow fat.
a half-rolled red flag is in the water, and the frost is heavy and cold.
I'd like to express my gratitude to you on the golden platform, and take Yulong to your death.
