Chusai is a set of frontier poems written by Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Full-text: The bright moon in Qin dynasty was closed in Han dynasty, and the Long March did not return. If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.
Translation: It is still the bright moon and border pass in Qin and Han Dynasties. Wan Li, who defended the border against the enemy, refused to return the people. If Li Guang, the flying general of Dragon City, were still here today, he would never let Xiongnu go south to herd horses and spend the Yinshan Mountain.
Extended data:
In the face of such a scene, people in the frontier feel moved by the scene, and naturally think of countless people who have devoted themselves to the frontier since the Qin and Han Dynasties and have not returned to their deaths. "The Long March has not yet returned" also points out the remoteness of the frontier fortress from a spatial perspective.
The "people" here not only refer to the soldiers who died in the battlefield, but also refer to the soldiers who are still holding on and cannot return. "People have not returned" means that the border defense is not consolidated, and the second is sympathy for the foot soldiers. These are two sides of the same question, the former is the cause and the latter is the result. This is a big problem that has not been solved from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty. So in the third and fourth sentences, the poet gives the answer.
The sentence "Only make Longcheng fly, don't teach Huma to cross the shady mountain" is a combination of lyricism and discussion, which directly expresses the desire of border guards to consolidate border defense and defend the country, and is full of patriotic passion and national pride. The article is heroic and powerful. At the same time, these two sentences are ironic, showing the poet's dissatisfaction with the improper use of personnel by the court and the corruption and incompetence of the generals. There is a moral that makes people think endlessly.
