Poetic types of frontier fortress poems

According to the different material selection and emotional content of frontier fortress poems, there are mainly the following types:

First, from the perspective of soldiers guarding the border, write about the tragic war or the lofty sentiments of serving the country.

Take Wang Changling's Join the Army as an example;

Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain,

Seeing yumenguan from the lonely city.

Huang Sha wears golden armor in many battles.

If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it.

From the perspective of the soldiers on the frontier, this poem not only makes us want to see the cruelty and tragic war, but also makes us see the lofty aspirations of the soldiers who swear to serve the country and their firm belief in winning in the end.

Second, from the perspective of housewives, criticizing the war has destroyed the people's peaceful and peaceful life.

Writing about the sufferings caused by the war from the perspective of thinking about women has formed a unique poem "Frontier fortress in my heart forever".

Take Jin Changxu's "Spring Complaints" as an example;

Get rid of the oriole, get rid of all the music on the tree.

They woke her up when she dreamed that she went to meet him in Liaoxi camp.

Are the relatives who have guarded the border for many years still alive? Are you full every day? Can cotton-padded clothes keep out the cold? All this makes the thinking woman worry and worry, but these worries and worries can't be solved, and the thoughts are unconsciously in reverie. It is also a bitter happiness to meet someone you miss in your dream. No wonder the hostess wants to drive away the lovely orioles. This kind of unreasonable affectionate behavior has exposed that the war has destroyed the peaceful life of the people. It seems to be a little poem expressing children's feelings, but in fact it has profound content of the times and reflects the suffering of the broad masses of people under the military service system at that time.

Third, from the perspective of onlookers, accuse the evils of war.

Du Fu wrote sadly in "Military Vehicle Shop": "We have learned that it is unlucky to have a son, but it is much better to have a daughter." "Have you ever seen all the old bones of the forgotten people on Qinghai's head? The new ghost hates the old ghost crying and cries the loudest in the dark sky on a stormy day. " The war made countless families leave their homes and turned countless soldiers into countless bones!

In contrast, Gao Shi showed such a picture in Ge Yanxing: "Half of our soldiers died at the front, but the other half is still alive, and beautiful girls are still dancing and singing for them in the military camp." On the one hand, the front-line soldiers fought bloody battles and could die at any time; On the one hand, it is the generals who indulge in debauchery.

Fourth, from the perspective of soldiers, write about the mental pain caused by long-term border defense.

Wang Changling's "Join the Army" is typical:

Pipa dances with new sounds,

Always close the mountain and leave old feelings behind.

I can't hear enough sadness,

Autumn moon shines high on the Great Wall.

Analysis:

The "worry about the frontier" here includes the worry about reality, the desire to make contributions, the pain of leaving home, and the infinite homesickness.

The Fisherman's Pride and Su Mu Man by Fan Zhongyan, a poet in the Song Dynasty, also expressed the homesickness brought by the long-term fruitless frontier defense. "I miss home and chase my thoughts unless I sleep every night." "wine is like sorrow, turning into acacia tears." "A cup of turbid restaurant Wan Li, I don't know." "People are not sleepy, and the general has white hair and tears." These are typical poems expressing homesickness.
