1. "Liangzhou Ci" by Wang Zhihuan
Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain.
Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.
Translation: The Yellow River rushing from afar seems to be connected with the white clouds, while Yumen Pass stands alone in the mountains, looking lonely and lonely. Why use the Qiang flute to play the sad willow song to complain about the delay in spring? It turns out that the spring breeze cannot blow in the Yumenguan area!
2. "Looking at Jimen" Ancestor's Ode
The visitors at Yantai were frightened when they saw it, and the sound of drums and drums made the Han generals camp.
The cold light of thousands of miles creates snow, and the dawn on three sides stirs up dangerous signals.
The beacon fire on the battlefield is connected with the moon, and the clouds and mountains on the seaside embrace Jicheng.
Although the young man is not a pen official, he still wants to ask for a long tassel in terms of merit.
Translation: When I climbed up to Yantai and looked out, I couldn't help but be shocked. The place where the noise of drums and drums was made was originally the barracks of Han generals. Thousands of miles of snow shrouded in a cold light, and the dawn of the frontier fortress reflected the fluttering flags. The battlefield is full of flames, covering the bright moon of the border fortress, and the Beiyun Mountains of the South Bohai Sea guard Jimen City. Although I didn't join the army like Ban Chao when I was young, in terms of fame and honor, I wanted to follow my example and volunteered to join the army.
Extended information:
There are also poems about determination and perseverance as follows:
Li Qi, an ancient soldier? [Tang Dynasty]
During the day, I climbed the mountain to watch the beacon fire, and at dusk, I drank my horse by crossing the river.
Pedestrians are fighting against the wind and the sand is dark, and the princess Pipa is full of resentments.
There are no city walls in the wild clouds, and rain and snow are falling all over the desert.
Hu Yan flew away every night crying, and Hu Er shed tears.
When you hear that the jade gate is still covered, you should throw your life away.
Every year the bones of the war are buried outside, but it is rare to see the sweet apple entering the Han family.
Translation: During the day, climb the mountain to watch the beacon tower that warns, and at dusk, take your horse to the Jiaohe River to drink water. The wind and sand filled the air, and it was pitch black. The only sounds that could be heard were the sound of the night watch in the army, and the weeping and resentful sound of the pipa. The vast desert is filled with clouds and mist, and no city can be seen for thousands of miles. Rain and snow cover the boundless desert.
The whining Hu Yan flew through the sky every night, and the Hu soldiers were moved by the scene and shed tears. It was heard that Yumen Pass had blocked the way back, and the soldiers could only follow the general to fight the enemy. The bones of those killed in battle every year were buried in the wilderness, and all they got in exchange were grapes from the Western Regions sent to the Han family.
