After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the sea wind is cold, and the flute drifts The road is difficult.
Qili recruited three hundred thousand people, looking back at the middle of the month

The grass in the forest is frightened by the wind, and the general draws his bow at night.
I looked for the white feather in plain sight, but it was missing among the stone edges.

In the dim woods, the grass suddenly blew in the wind, and the general quickly opened his bow and shot arrows in the dark.
At dawn, I looked for the white-feathered arrow shot last night. The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the huge stone.
3. Yanmen Prefect’s Journey
Li He [Tang Dynasty]
Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, about to destroy it, and the armor’s light opened toward the sun’s golden scales.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, and the night is purple when stuffed with swallow fat.
A half-rolled red flag is near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
Report your favor on the golden platform, and guide the Jade Dragon to die for you.
Translation:
The enemy soldiers rolled in like black clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; the soldiers' armor flashed golden in the sunlight.
The sound of the horn resounded through the autumn sky, and the blood stains of the soldiers on the frontier turned purple in the cold night.
The red flag is half-rolled, and the reinforcements rush to Yishui; the night is cold and frosty, and the drums sound dull and low.
In order to repay the king's reward and love, he was willing to fight to the death for his country with a sword in his hand.
4. One of the six songs under the plug
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
In May, there is snow in the mountains, no flowers, only cold.
I heard broken willows in the flute, but I have never seen the spring scenery.
Watch the battle at dawn with the golden drum, sleep with the jade saddle in your arms at night.
I am willing to put my sword down from my waist to kill Loulan.
Translation:
It is still snowing heavily in the Tianshan Mountains in May, with only the biting cold wind and no flowers in bloom.
When I heard someone playing "The Willow Song" on the flute, I thought that the garden in my hometown was already full of spring scenery, but here, I haven't seen the spring scenery yet.
In the daytime, he fought a desperate battle with the enemy amidst the sound of golden drums, and at night he slept with his head in the saddle.
I hope that with the sword hanging on my waist, I can pacify the border as soon as possible and make contributions to the country.
5. Watching hunting
Wang Wei [Tang Dynasty]
The wind is strong and the horns are sounding, and the general is hunting in Weicheng.
The grass is dry and the hawk's eyes are weak, and the snow is gone and the horse's hooves are light.
Suddenly passed by Xinfeng City and returned to Xiliu Camp.
Looking back at the place where the Condor Shooting is taking place, the clouds are flat at dusk for thousands of miles.
Translation:
A strong wind blew, and the taut bowstring made a sharp trembling sound. The general was hunting on the outskirts of Weicheng.
As the autumn grass withers and turns yellow, the eagle's eyes become sharper; as the ice and snow melt, the galloping horses' hooves become especially brisk.
In the blink of an eye, we passed by Xinfeng City, and soon we were riding back to Xiliu Camp.
Looking back at the place where we were galloping just now, we can see that the evening clouds have become one with the earth.
