Extended information:
During the mid-Tang Dynasty, wars between and against the vassal towns broke out one after another and never ended. All kinds of rumors in the war came from the battlefield full of flames, including news of failure and victory; There are cowardly losers and heroes who fight for the country.
Li He, a poet who cares about the fate of the country, naturally cares about the wars in various places. When he left the capital, his hometown with beautiful scenery, and arrived in Luzhou and Yanmen, he wrote this famous poem that will be told through the ages.
The first two sentences of the poem are intended to exaggerate the atmosphere and outline the tense situation of the war for readers. The first sentence uses "black clouds" as a metaphor to describe the fierce enemy, and then uses the verb "pressure" to describe this situation, and then uses the word "to destroy" to make up for this fierce enemy, and directly depicts the dangerous situation.
in the second sentence, it is written that our military capacity is clean and tidy, and our military power is majestic, and we have the spirit of being calm in times of crisis. The pictures of these two sentences are vivid and touching: under the rolling of black clouds, fierce enemy forces came to my lonely city, which was likely to destroy the city; However, our soldiers were undaunted and dressed in armor.
under the sunlight, shining golden, imposing, ready to attack. At the beginning of the poem, the contrast shows the critical situation and the heroism of our soldiers.
