The first part of the three chapters, in the form of complex sentences, repeatedly expresses the sad mood after a long separation from other places. The first sentence of these three chapters is "receiving the EU", which leads to the following. At the beginning of this poem, readers see the bleak scene of frontier life. We seem to see the defenders collecting wild vegetables on the hillside of the wilderness, missing their hometown after a long separation, and counting the date of going home ... The first two sentences of the first chapter are: "Pick the rose and the rose will stop." This is about spring, and the green buds of Osmunda japonica have just bloomed; The second chapter reads: "picking Wei, Wei is also gentle", and it is written that in summer, the leaves of Wei Cai are fat and tender; The third chapter is: "Picking roses is just finished", which means that in autumn, the leaves and stems of Osmunda japonica will be old and hard. From spring to autumn, Osmunda japonica is tender and old, and time passes mercilessly; The soldiers are thinking about going home. From spring to autumn, a year will pass. When can I go home? In fact, in the poem, the poet originally regarded the sudden changes of the four seasons of heaven and earth and the ups and downs of natural creatures as the witness and contrast of life. Therefore, xing is the simplest and most direct feeling that nature gives people, which has profound significance in understanding life. Therefore, in the posture of picking the eu, which is solidified in the memory of the guards, what we see is not only the cycle of the four seasons, the passage of time, but also the growth of ideas and the traces of aging life.
The first three chapters are intertwined with personal homesickness and the sense of responsibility for going to disaster for the country, which are two contradictory and equally true thoughts and feelings. This combination of heroism and sadness constitutes the emotional tone of the whole poem, but personal homesickness and sense of responsibility for fighting have different manifestations in different chapters.
The fourth and fifth chapters describe the tense life of marching operations. He wrote about the strength of military capabilities and the strictness of vigilance, and the whole article did this. Its emotional appeal has also changed from sad homesickness to passionate fighting. These two chapters and four sentences have the same meaning and can be read in four layers. In the first four sentences of the four chapters, the poet asked himself and answered, "the gentleman's car" is raised with "the wisdom of maintaining stability", which shows the unique pride of soldiers. Then two battle scenes are described around the chariot: "The chariot is driving and the four industries are fighting. I dare to decide, 1 I will be happy on March 3. " This generally describes the mighty military capacity, high morale and frequent wars; "Driving four stallions, four stallions. The gentleman depends on it, and the villain flies. " This describes in detail the scene of foot soldiers following the chariot under the cover of the chariot and under the command of the general. Finally, from the battle scene, the soldier's equipment reads: "Four rows of wings, like a fish suit." The horse is strong, well-trained, well-armed and invincible. Soldiers are ready every day, just because the armadillo is rampant. "Don't quit every day, there are holes and thorns in the armadillo", which not only reflects the situation on the border at that time, but also explains the reason why it is difficult to return for a long time. The colors of these two chapters are so gorgeous. Tang Di is full of flowers, handsome and upright horses, majestic generals, luxurious bows and arrows, and neat chariots. Here, there is a heroic feeling of serving the country and the country at all costs. The sadness of not being able to grasp one's own destiny in the cruel war and the deep yearning for the distant hometown are diluted here. Because when I fought bloody battles on the battlefield, it was precisely because there was such a beautiful home behind me, bearing my warm thoughts.
Technically, another feature of this poem is that it chooses the best angle, that is "on the road", which is the farthest and longest road in the world. Long enough to carry a war, long enough to fill a person's thoughts year after year, long enough to fill a person's life's joys and sorrows.
"I left yesterday, willow, a.. I think about it today, it's raining. " Let that lingering, deep and erratic emotion flow naturally from the landscape picture, with profound implications and endless aftertaste. These four poems are praised by later generations as the best sentences in The Book of Songs. This is the time to write the scene, which is more lyrical. These poems are a mixture of sad and happy stories, and they seem to be fables of personal life. Who once said goodbye to me among the willows in that spring? And when I came back from a narrow escape when it was snowing heavily, who else was waiting for me? Is it the grand occasion of the wedding reception in Mulan Ci, or the scene of overgrown weeds during the Tenth Five-Year Plan? The spring when we left, the heavy snow when we came back, the seasons are changing, the time is passing, we leave, we return, what have we lost and what have we gained in coming and going? There is no answer, only a lonely figure, hungry and thirsty, scorched by heavy acacia and anxiety, staggering and trembling towards the future he doesn't know in the heavy snow.
Reading this poem together with other chapters in the Book of Songs, such as Drum Beating, Dongshan, and No Clothes, we can read a more complete story and have a more real feeling of life. If we can imagine, this garrison soldier is the one who sings "Live and die with wealth, grow old with your son". The soldier who holds your hand and grows old with your son is also the one who sings the high-spirited battle song "No clothes, no robes and your son". Wang Yuxing, the soldier who repaired my spear and walked with my son, was also the soldier who sang "Sorry for my hometown" in the drizzle. I'm a soldier from the east, and it's raining heavily. Then, the story of "picking Wei" is even richer. In fact, this poem does have too many colors and too deep feelings. Acacia and ambition to serve the country, boldness and desolation are so harmoniously intertwined that a real life movement is played. We can also vaguely hear the distant and empty echo of this poem in the river of time and life in later great works, such as Chen Tao's The Journey to the West and Fan Zhongyan's The Pride of the Fisherman.
