The word "dark clouds crush the city to destroy" vividly reveals the number and fierceness of the enemy, the disparity in strength between the warring parties and the difficult situation of the defenders. The defenders in the city are compared with the enemy outside the city. Suddenly, the situation changed, and a ray of sunshine penetrated through the clouds and reflected on the armor of the soldiers guarding the city, only to see glittering and dazzling.
The original poem is as follows
Batavia on Yanmenguan Line
Tang Dynasty: Li He
Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds in an attempt to tear down the city wall; Our army was ready, and the sun shone on the armor, glittering with gold.
In autumn, the loud bugle sounded; The soldier's blood became dark in the night.
The red flag rolled half, and the reinforcements rushed to Xiao; The night frost is heavy and the drums are gloomy.
Just to return the king, sword and death.
translate
Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; Because our army is strict, the sun shines on the armor and the golden light flashes. In autumn, the loud bugles shake the earth; At night, the soldiers' blood clots turned purple. The red flag is half-rolled, and reinforcements rush to Xiao; The night is frosty and the drums are gloomy. Just to repay the king's kindness, he held a sword and died.
Background of extended data creation
Li He lived in an era of constant rebellion and war. For example, in 809 (Yuan and four years), Wang Chengzong rose up to attack Yizhou and Dingzhou, and patriotic general Li led his troops to rescue them. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he took the lead, broke through the tight encirclement, attacked Wu Yuanji rebels, killed the enemy and fled.
It is speculated from some legends and data records about the poem "Wild Goose Gate Taishouxing" that it may be a war to pacify the rebellion in the buffer region. It was the second year of Yuanhe, in 807 AD. Li hecai 17 years old.
This poem is about a hero who is full of lofty sentiments, fights against adversity and is determined to die. With warm praise and deep memory, this poem has created a very concrete and touching heroic image with a strong heroic style. The conclusion of "reporting to Wang Huang Jintai" reflects the sadness that the author has made contributions to the army but has not been appreciated.
Li He is a descendant of Li Liang, a royal family in the Tang Dynasty, but he is a distant branch and has alienated from the royal family. His father, Jin Su, has a low official position and a poor family. He has "fine eyebrows, long fingers and long claws" and can write poems in his childhood. At the age of 65,438+05,65,438+06, like his predecessor Li Yi, he became famous for his poem Gong Yuefu. In Yuanhe 34, Han Yu was in Luoyang, and Li He paid a visit.
It is said that Han Yu and Huang Fushi once paid a return visit together, and Li He also wrote the famous poem "Gao Xuan Guo". Li He's father is called Jin Su, and "Jin" and "Jin" are homonyms. The man who contended with Li He said that he wanted to avoid his father's taboo and refused to be a scholar. Han Yu encouraged Li He to take the exam in Taboo Discrimination, but he was helpless. "When the fan is off, knowledge and strength will be sloppy." .
Although Li He should have been promoted to Beijing, he didn't get in. He was insatiable. Later, he worked in Li Lang for three years, then resigned due to illness and returned to Long Valley. Later, it went to Luzhou (now Changzhi City, Shanxi Province) and relied on Zhang Che for some time. He was sickly all his life and died at the age of 27. Due to the frustration of his official career, Li He was unhappy all his life and devoted all his energy to poetry creation, which was full of deep depression.
During my stay in Beijing, I lived in Chongyili and became close friends with Wang Shenyuan, Yang Jingzhi, Quan Kun and Cui Zhi. I often travel together. A little slave rides a donkey with a broken tool kit. Li Heyou wrote a poem, which was written in his pocket and finished when he got home. Zheng's mother's wife often says, "It's your son's duty to express his heart." . Before his death, he divided the poem into four parts and gave it to his friend Shen. After his death 15 years, Shen asked Du Mu to write a preface.
Out of nostalgia for Li He, it is said that when Li He died, he saw that the Emperor sent an angel from Fei Yi to write a note in Baiyulou in the sky. It is also said that his mother dreamed of Li He one night and said that he was writing notes about Bai Yao Palace for the Emperor of Heaven (Li Hechuan by Li Shangyin and Xuanshizhi by Zhang Du).
During the reign of Emperor Zhaozong, Wei Zhuang took Li He Jinshi as the memorial and gave him a replacement. However, due to an incident in court, the performance was put on hold. Li He once edited his anthology. There is an annotated collection of Li He's poems. Li See Shang Yin's Biography of Li He, The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Biography of Xuan Shi, etc. all advocated wandering immortals and exhorted them.
