Some war poems in The Book of Songs Xiaoya describe the martial arts of emperors and generals from the front, showing a strong sense of pride and optimism. Jianghan, Changwu in Fenghua, Chuche, June, Cai Mao in Xiaoya, etc. , mostly reflect the Wang Xuan period of martial arts. Write Jianghan announced the king's order, summoned the tiger to lead the troops to crusade against Huaiyi, and soon Huaiyi was pacified and the troops moved back to North Korea. Then he ordered the tiger to come and gave him land, hairpin, Zhu and so on. It is a custom in Zhao Gong to call tigers, so please remember. It is written in Changwu that Wang Xuan ordered Nan Zhong, a general, to conquer Xu and concentrate on the power of singing praises. For example, in Chapter 7, it writes that Julian Waghann's rapid progress is unstoppable. Through a series of metaphors, Julian Waghann's image of prestige and masculinity has been concretely expressed. Another example is "June in Xiaoya", when Yin Jifu was ordered by Wang Xuan to make a northern expedition against armadillos and won. In addition, Qin Feng's Xiao Rong has no clothes and so on. It is also a war poem showing unity, * * * resisting foreign aggression, high morale and optimistic mood. This kind of war poems in The Book of Songs are written from the perspective of positive praise, and do not pay attention to directly describing the battle scenes, but focus on military strength. For example, "Xiaoya Lottery" is written about the minister's magic attack on Man Jing, highlighting the power of the army led by magic, with strict military capacity, strict orders and credible rewards and punishments. He is a brilliant man. If his orders are certain, he once went to the Northern Expedition to show off his strength. Man Jing was very scared, so he came to ask for help. The war poems in The Book of Songs emphasize the moral influence and the shock of military power, but do not specifically describe the fighting and fighting on the battlefield. This is the embodiment of China's ancient political ideal of respecting morality and attaching importance to moral education and defeating the enemy without fighting, showing a different style from other ancient war poems in the world. Zhou people created agricultural civilization, and Zhou people loved the peaceful and stable agricultural living environment. Therefore, more war poems show weariness of war and yearning for peace, full of sadness. For example, "Xiaoya Cai Wei" was sent by soldiers who participated in the war on their way home. The northern armadillos invaded the Zhou Dynasty, and the soldiers went out to defend the country. The author's crying that "the shame of being alone is a ghost" shows that he hates ghosts, not Zhou Tianzi. The poet is full of anger at the invaders, and his poems are full of agitation to defeat the invaders, but at the same time he is tired of not returning for a long time and fighting for a long time, and he is infinitely sad about his own suffering. For example, Zhang Yun's ending: In the past, I left, and the willows were reluctant. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry. The journey was delayed, carrying thirst and hunger, and I felt sad and didn't know I was sad.
The feeling of parting when I left home in those years and the feeling of sadness when I came back today are all vividly shown. If Cai Wei is still a contradiction between hating the enemy and homesickness, Dongshan embodies the war-weariness of foot soldiers. Soldiers who have been in the war for three years are sad and happy on their way home, imagining the situation in their hometown and how they feel when they get home. "I" was requisitioned for a long time, and now I finally took off my military uniform and put on casual clothes, and I don't want to March and fight any more. On my way home, I saw the desolate scene after the war. The countryside was deserted, turtles and spiders were circling the house, elk were wandering and fireflies were flashing. But this scene is not terrible. What is more painful is that my wife lives alone in the house, looking forward to the return of "I". Looking back on the wedding, beaming, lively and beautiful scenes, reunion after a long separation, maybe better than the wedding? Here, there are both happy yearning for reunion with relatives after returning to China and worries about the uncertain future. The whole poem combines reality with the poet's imagination and memory, and describes the psychological activities of "I" such as excitement, sadness, joy and anxiety in a very delicate way. The poet's weariness of war and longing for a peaceful life are fully reflected.
