The bonfire is in the west of the city 100 feet, and you sit alone in the sea breeze and autumn at dusk.
Playing the Qiang flute "Guan Shanyue" (1), without the troubles of the golden boy Wan Li (2).

Wang Changling is an expert in writing frontier poems. His frontier poems are numerous and precise, and he is especially good at expressing the life and inner world of the garrison in many aspects, creating a unique and deep style that combines hero with tragic, inspirational and sad.
This group of March consists of seven songs, each of which describes a scene. The song "A Hundred Feet Building in the West" is about a Tang Junbing's nostalgia for his distant wife during the battle.
In the first two sentences, the poet deliberately created a relaxed and quiet atmosphere: there is no war, the building sits alone, the sun sets, and the night breeze blows gently. But this is a temporary calm peculiar to the border, and there is a chill and tension lurking in the silence. Under such circumstances, it is natural for soldiers to be homesick. Then he went on to write, playing the flute, and playing "Guan Shanyue" with "sadness and parting". Through the flute, we observed the soldiers' feelings of missing their relatives in their hometown. The last sentence is written from the opposite side: it is not that the soldier misses his wife, but that he is sad because he misses his wife thousands of miles away, and both husband and wife are equally helpless about the long separation and hopeless waiting. This is a typical expression of the frontier soldiers' depression, and it has achieved touching and sympathetic artistic effects.
Precautions:
(1) Joining the army: an old topic in Yuefu, belonging, and plain lyrics. Most of them reflect the hard life of the army.
② Qiang flute: Qiang bamboo musical instrument. Guan Shanyue, the name of Yuefu, is a cross-blowing song. Most of them are sad parting words.
3 none: that is, helpless.
Secondly,
The new sound of pipa dance is always an old love in Guanshan.
I can't stop playing, and I go down to the Great Wall in the autumn moon.

Writing about the homesickness of border guards can not only highlight the complexity and intensity of the protagonist's inner activities in a quiet atmosphere, as in the previous article, but also compare the sad and depressed mood of the characters with the warm and noisy scenes, as in this article.
You see, this is the scene of the army partying all night. At the beginning, the clear autumn moon shines on the earth, and at the end, the moon has fallen behind the majestic Great Wall. At the same time, the pipa kept playing exciting melodies, ending one song after another. People are dancing excitedly. They want to have fun.
But wait a minute, please identify this music carefully. It turns out that no matter how the tune changes, no matter how wild and enthusiastic the dance is, there is always a theme: feelings of parting and feelings of worrying about the world, that is, a keynote: generosity and sadness, joy mixed with desolation, "forever is the old love of the mountain", especially the word "forever", which suddenly penetrated the background and essence of the military carnival and brought the readers' hearts closer to those of these soldiers. This is exactly what this poem caught the readers' attention.
Fourth.
Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain ①, and the lonely city overlooks Yumenguan ②.
Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.

It is natural for soldiers to be homesick, because they are also flesh and blood. But the fundamental value of soldiers is that they are defenders of the security of the motherland. This is the case now, and it is also the case in ancient times.
There are many chapters in Wang Changling's frontier poems that show the lofty spirit of the soldiers who are determined to defend the motherland. The above one is more representative.
The first sentence is about the geographical location and environment of the frontier. A "dark" word gives people a feeling of heavy depression. The second sentence is about the sinister situation. They are in the frontier, looking back at the motherland, and all they see is an isolated city in Yumenguan. The third sentence says that the battle is fierce, the language is summarized and the image is vivid. In the last sentence, the soldiers vowed to eulogize their loyalty and courage. With the foreshadowing of the first three sentences, the oath of the soldiers is even heavier.
It should be pointed out that this is not a realistic work. Judging from the place names involved, they are no less than a thousand miles apart. Qinghai Lake is in the west of Xining City, Qinghai Province, and Yumenguan is in the west of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province. However, there was no Loulan State in the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, and Loulan State in the Han Dynasty was in the southeast of Shanshan County, Xinjiang. But the poet wrote them in a poem to show the bravery and patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers guarding the border. This is not only allowed in poetry creation, but also universal. People are interested in the ideas and interests expressed in poetry. If you have to use a rubber column and drum for textual research, it will be too much trouble.
Precautions:
Qinghai: Qinghai Lake, in today's Qinghai Province.
Yumenguan: The name of the border pass was set in the Han Dynasty, in the west of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province.
Loulan: the name of the Western Regions in Han Dynasty, located in Laqiang County and Lop Nur, Xinjiang, generally refers to the minority regimes in the border areas between Tang and Xinjiang.
Seven Poems of Joining the Army (Part Five)
The desert is foggy, and the red flag is half rolled out of Yuanmen.
The former army fought in Taohe River overnight, and it was reported that Tuguhun was captured alive.
People who have seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may be deeply impressed by the fifth book, Guan Yunchang's Warm Wine Chops Hua Xiong. This is a wonderful part of shaping Guan Yu's heroic image. But the book doesn't describe how Guan Yu, who was alone, confronted Hua Xiong, who led 50,000 troops. On the contrary, it used this passage:
(Guan Yu) paid the bill, raised his knife and flew on the horse. The vassals heard the drums outside the Commissioner deafening, shouting deafening, such as the sky were to fall, and all the people were surprised. He was about to listen when the Luan bell rang and the horse arrived in Zhong Jun. Yun Chang lifted Hua Xiong's head and threw it on the ground. The wine was still warm.
In this paragraph, the pen and ink are very concise. From the atmosphere at that time and the reaction of the ministers, Guan Yu's great strength was written. On its objective artistic effect, it is more fascinating than writing dozens of rounds of sword fights. Of course, this passage by Luo Guanzhong has his uniqueness, but if we avoid the positive narrative and let people imagine the scene of the war through the rendering of the atmosphere and the description of the side, it is not his initiative. This song "Joining the Army" by Rainbow Changling should be said to be an early and successful poetic form.
"The dust in the desert is dim", because the Altai Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Kunlun Mountain in the northwest all run from west to east or southeast, forming a big horn in Hexi Corridor and eastern Qinghai. The wind is extremely strong, and when the wind is crazy, sand and stones fly. So "weak sun" followed by "desert dust" does not mean that it is getting late, but that the wind and sand cover the sky. But this not only shows the violent climate, but also appears as a background, which naturally plays a role in setting off and hinting at the military situation. In this case, what action will Tang Jun take? Not behind closed doors, passive defense, but active expedition. In order to reduce the strong resistance of the wind and speed up the March, the soldiers marched with half a roll of red flags. In Dust in the Desert, these two sentences have rendered a powerful force under the guidance of a red flag. It seems natural not to show off, but this army is like a sword, pointing directly at the enemy camp. This makes the reader's heartstrings tense and makes people feel that a fierce battle is coming. What kind of thrilling scene will this athlete running in the desert perform? In this suspense, read the last two sentences again: "The former army fought the Taohe River at night, but they were captured alive." This can be said to have fallen together. The reader's suspense was just followed by the army, and it was not their turn to show their talents on the battlefield. Just in the middle, the good news came that the vanguard troops won a great victory in the night battle and even the enemy chief was captured alive. The plot develops rapidly, which is a bit unexpected, but it is completely understandable, because the momentum of the army's expedition in the first two sentences has fully hinted at Tang Jun's morale and strength. This powerful reinforcements, not only set off the striker's victory is not accidental, but also can see that Tang Jun's strength is more than enough, and the victory is in hand.
From the description, the poet chose the follow-up troops that did not directly fight with the enemy, but only brought out the brilliant "night battle of the former army" from the side. This is an unconventional idea. If we change the narrative of the midnight oil from the front, it will inevitably appear dull and cannot be completed with short quatrains. Now, by avoiding describing the war process in a positive way and comparing it from the side, the shortcomings of quatrains become advantages. It allows readers to imagine how hard and excellent the striker's battle is from "Dusty Desert" and "Taohe Night Battle". Appreciate how dramatic this expedition is from "It is reported that it was captured alive". A fierce battle is not written at the top of one's lungs, but with a light jumping pen, through side contrast and dyeing, let readers appreciate and daydream. All this, manifested in just four poems, is more difficult in conceiving and expelling language, which should be said to be even more difficult than the novel story of "warm wine to kill Hua Xiong".
