"The Journey of the Governor of Yanmen" is a poem describing war scenes created by the Tang Dynasty poet Li He using ancient Yuefu inscriptions.
The original text is as follows:
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, ready to destroy it, and the light of armor opens towards the golden scales of the sun.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, and the night is purple when stuffed with swallow fat.
The half-rolled red flag is near the Yishui River, but the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you! ?
Vernacular translation:
The enemy soldiers are rolling in like black clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; our army has been waiting hard, the sun shines on the armor, and a golden light shines. In the autumn colors, the loud military trumpets shake the heaven and earth; the blood of the soldiers turns dark purple in the dark night. The red flag was half-rolled, and the reinforcements rushed to Yishui; the night was cold and frosty, and the drums sounded depressed and low. Just to repay the kindness of the king, he holds the sword in hand and regards death as home.
Extended information:
In the Mid-Tang Dynasty, wars between vassal towns and against vassal towns came and went and never ended. Various rumors in the war are constantly coming from the battlefield filled with flames, including news of failure and triumphal songs of victory;
There are cowardly defeated generals and heroes who fight to defend their country. The poet Li He, who was concerned about the fate of the country, was naturally concerned about the wars in various places. When he left the capital and his beautiful hometown, he went to Luzhou and Yanmen and wrote this famous poem that has been passed down through the ages.
The first two sentences of the poem are intended to exaggerate the atmosphere and outline the tense situation of this war to readers. The first sentence uses "black cloud" as a metaphor to describe the fierceness of the enemy's approach, and then uses the verb "press" to strengthen the description of this situation, and then uses the two words "to destroy" to complement the fierceness of the attack and directly depict dangerous situation.
The second sentence writes that our military is in good shape, majestic, and calm in the face of danger. The pictures in these two sentences are vivid and touching: Under the rolling black clouds, the ferocious enemy troops rushed towards our isolated city, with the potential to overwhelm the city; however, our soldiers were unfazed and fully armored; Under the sunlight, the golden armor shone with golden light, and he looked majestic and ready to attack. The beginning of the poem expresses the critical situation through contrast, and also expresses the heroic spirit of our soldiers.
The third and fourth sentences further exaggerate the tragic atmosphere in terms of sound and color. The whine of the horn was originally a very sad sound; now that it is echoing in the desolate autumn, it naturally seems even more tragic. This is written from the sound. "Stuffed with swallow fat and condensed into purple at night" is based on color. It was dusk, and the red city walls of the frontier fortress turned dark purple under the condensed dusk mist, adding a layer of tragic color to this tragic scene.
"Half roll of red flag near Yishui", the word "half roll" has extremely rich meanings. Marching in the dark, with no banners and drums, in order to "surprise the unexpected and attack the unprepared": "Lin Yishui" not only indicates the location of the battle, but also implies that the soldiers have "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong men will never return once they are gone"
< p>Such a strong and passionate feeling. Then describe the scene of the bitter battle: as soon as the reinforcements approached the enemy's camp, they beat drums to cheer and went into battle. Unfortunately, the night was so cold and frosty that even the war drums could not beat. Faced with many difficulties, the soldiers were not discouraged.The above six sentences use heavy colors: black and purple as the base colors, and the highlights are purple and red, making the artistic conception of the poem catch people's eyes with a low tone. With the shrill sound of horns and mute drums, a tragic sound is conveyed into people's eardrums. Sound and color set off each other, making the tragic atmosphere more intense and moving.
