Since ancient times, there have been many explorations. This poem comes from Liangzhou Ci by William Wang, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. It's a sad song.
Heroic spirit in poetry
The full text of William Wang's Liangzhou Ci is as follows:
The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain.
Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing!
Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people fought in ancient times?
This poem depicts the magnificent scene of the frontier fortress with vigorous brushwork, and also expresses the heroic and tragic fighting of the soldiers on the battlefield. The drunken soldiers in the poem are still brave and desperate, even though they are in danger.
The cruelty of the campaign and the prospect of return.
In ancient times, I fought several wars, exposing the cruelty of the battle and the slim return. In ancient times, war was the norm, and countless soldiers went to the battlefield, but few people were able to go home alive. This poem is not only the poet's helplessness to the war, but also the mourning and commemoration of the soldiers who participated in the war.
The tragic feelings of soldiers
Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh. On the surface, it is a natural and unrestrained attitude, but it contains the tragic feelings of soldiers. They are not afraid of death, but put life and death aside and put the security of the country and the nation first. This spirit of risking one's life and forgetting one's death is the embodiment of the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation.
Reflection and Appeal on War
William Wang's Liangzhou Ci is not only a poem, but also a reflection and appeal to the war. This poem warns the world of the cruelty of war and calls on people to cherish peace and avoid war.
For thousands of years, the poem "Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield, but you have fought several wars since ancient times" has been echoing in people's hearts, inspiring generations to forge ahead bravely and defend the interests of the country and the people. It also reminds people that the price of war is heavy and peace is so precious that we should try our best to protect it.
