Creation background
"Liangzhou Ci" was written in the Kaiyuan period, and Guo Zhiyun, who was run by Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, dedicated Liangzhou music to Xuanzong in the Kaiyuan period and immediately became popular.

Make an appreciative comment
"Poetry" is a famous song describing the cold side scenery. The whole poem is about a feast in the hard and desolate frontier fortress, depicting the scene of soliciting customers to drink and get drunk. The first sentence is gorgeous and beautiful, with a clear and pleasant tone, showing the luxury of the feast; In a word, use the word "want to drink" to write a warm scene, and the banquet deliberately exaggerates the atmosphere with music. Three or four sentences were written to the utmost to persuade people to be considerate, to persuade people to drink, to enjoy themselves, to forget their worries, and to be bold and broad-minded. Heng Tang retired and commented, "Being broad-minded makes me feel sad." Commentators always think that they are sad, sentimental and hate fighting. Shi Buhua's "Poems of Servitude" in Qing Dynasty commented: "It is easy to read sad words, but wonderful to read interesting words. Learners understand. " Judging from the content, there is no language that hates military life, and there is no intention to lament the passing of life. It is nothing more than the difficulty of fighting for pain. It is called compassion and seems to be reluctant to part. Shi Buhua's words have their depth. Throughout the ages, many people have different opinions, and scholars since the Enlightenment.
The first two sentences are "luminous glass of grape wine, if you want to drink pipa, you should urge it immediately." Mainly words. Wine, luminous cups and pipa sound all have strong frontier colors and distinctive characteristics of military life, which makes the poet render the unique mood of the military camp outside the Great Wall and attract readers to the tense and warm atmosphere of the ancient battlefield outside the Great Wall from the beginning. [5] "Night glass wine" creates an atmosphere and sets the tone for the lyricism of the whole poem. Write that the general returned to camp after the war and set up a wine to celebrate. The word "want to drink" plays up the extraordinary attractive charm of this feast of wine and food, and shows the bold and cheerful character of the soldiers. Just when everyone wanted to drink, the band played the pipa and the party began. The fast and cheerful melody seems to urge the soldiers to raise their glasses and drink, so that the original warm atmosphere suddenly boils up. This poem has changed the syllables commonly used in seven-character quatrains and adopted the syntax of "upper two and lower five", further enhancing its appeal. The word "immediately" is often associated with "beginning". In fact, among the Hu people in the Western Regions, the pipa was originally played on horseback. "Pipa Prompt" is a scene that deliberately renders a cheerful feast.
The last two sentences are "drunk in the sand and don't laugh." How many people fought in ancient times? " Turn to romance. These two poems are not lamenting the passing of life, but the clanking rhetoric of serving the country; It conveys not the bleak helplessness, but the spirit of "loyalty to the country, risking one's life and forgetting one's death" and expresses the lofty sentiments of soldiers dedicated to the battlefield.
"Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield", we should ask people to understand each other and persuade them to have a good drink, but don't laugh at soldiers who are drunk on the battlefield. Before they die, they should drink to their heart's content. Drunk on the Battlefield shows not only bold, cheerful and excited feelings, but also the courage to die, which is consistent with the warm atmosphere shown by the luxurious banquet. It is also a heroic manifestation of indifference to life and death. "How many people fought in ancient times?" How many people have survived the battle in the border court since ancient times? This rhetorical remark is not to exaggerate the cruelty and horror of war, but to say that the attitude of soldiers towards dying for their country is like lying on the battlefield drunk. Although the sentence "Gulai" exaggerates the fierceness and cruelty of the war in a deep sleep, the tone of the poem is still majestic and high.
Although this poem reflects the cruelty of war, it is not sad. On the contrary, the whole poem is full of optimistic and heroic emotions. Rich "wine", exquisite "luminous cup", melodious "Pipa sounds at once", "Drunk on the battlefield" and joking "Don't laugh", these beautiful words dilute the cruel cloud of war, lay a healthy, optimistic and tragic tone of this poem, and show the high spirit. Besides, its language is bright, fluent and sonorous.
