Wang Changling's frontier poems mostly express soldiers' patriotic contributions and homesickness in the old Yuefu style. Poetic style is mostly used to enter the seven wonders of music, which is different from Gao Shi Cen Can's application of classical poetry.
Wang Changling's "Joining the Army" has always been regarded as the masterpiece of frontier fortress poetry. One of them was selected as the topic of poetry appreciation in Chongqing college entrance examination this year. The original question is as follows:
Read the following Tang poem and then answer this question.
Seven Poems of Wang Changling Joining the Army (Ⅱ)
The new sound of pipa dance is always the old love.
I can't listen to endless worries, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall.
(1) Is there a contradiction between "the new sound of pipa dance" and "border sorrow"? Why?
(2) What's the difference between "high autumn and bright moon shines on the Great Wall" and the first three sentences? What are the advantages of this writing?
These two questions are not difficult. When you read the whole poem for the first time, you will understand that this poem expresses people's feelings of missing their loved ones. Grasping "border worries" and "other feelings" will help you feel homesick. The first sentence "the new sound of pipa dance" is in contrast with "always closing the mountain and feeling different" The "new voice" cannot dispel the "old feelings" of soldiers. The first question in Old Feelings is whether there is a contradiction between Pipa Xing Xin Sheng and Bian Sorrow. As we already know, Old Feelings Parting is Bian Sorrow and Xin Sorrow can't dispel the feeling of parting, and the contrast between them can only make the feeling of missing more heavy, so they are not contradictory.
The second question is simpler. In the first three sentences, the first sentence is a narrative, and the second and third sentences are arguments and lyricism. The last sentence is about scenery. We know that. The scenery language in poetry is not written for scenery, but contains specific emotions. As an image in poetry, the "moon" in "Looking at the Great Wall in High Autumn and Bright Moon" has its specific connotation, which is often associated with homesickness, such as "the bright moon is now full of the sea, and the horizon is * * * at this time" and "I wish people a long journey * * Chanjuan". In this way, we can understand that the last sentence ends with the scenery language, which contains feelings in the scenery, creates artistic conception and makes the meaning of the poem more profound.
Reference answer: 1, which is not contradictory. This kind of contrast writing can better show the listener's deep feelings and worries, which can't be dispelled by any happy new song. 2. The first three sentences are narrative lyricism, and the last one is scenery writing. Take the scene as the knot, and contain feelings in the scene; Create artistic conception, implicit and infinite.
Wang Changling's "Join the Army" is a famous poem. Although he wrote few frontier poems, he was included in the frontier poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty because of his good writing style. His frontier poems are unique. Comparing his frontier poems with those of Cen Can, we can see that his focus is not on describing frontier life and frontier scenery, but on remembering the thoughts and feelings of soldiers. In his works, the frontier fortress environment only provides the background of a character's psychological activities, and the center of the poem is the inner world of the frontier soldiers.
Because of this, Wang Changling's frontier poems are very suitable for poetry appreciation. Here, I will design several topics for Wang Changling's other three frontier poems and make a simple analysis of them.
join the army
The bonfire is in the west of the city 100 feet, and you sit alone in the sea breeze and autumn at dusk.
Guan Shanyue, who plays Qiangdi, is not worried about the golden boy Wan Li.
Title: What are the characteristics of three or four sentences in this poem in expressing homesickness?
Analysis: The third sentence shows the soldier's homesickness for his wife by picking up the Qiangdi and playing a song "Guan Shanyue". The soldier tried to play the flute to dispel this melancholy, but the flute didn't calm his mind. He wants to cut off the emotional flow of missing his loved ones, but the sad face of his wife missing her husband thousands of miles away is vividly presented in his mind.
When the author expresses the homesickness of the garrison soldiers, he doesn't just write about the homesickness of the garrison soldiers, but writes about his wife's yearning for the garrison soldiers. For the garrison, the third sentence is real writing, and the fourth sentence is imaginary writing. The combination of reality and reality shows the urgency and unbearable feeling of missing. This technique of writing negative instead of positive has its unique characteristics in expressing the profundity of psychological activities. This is the lyrical feature of three or four sentences.
join the army
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan.
Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.
Title: 1. What is the function of the scenery description in the first two sentences?
2. What is the content of the third sentence and what role does it play in the last sentence?
Analysis: the first two sentences of the poem begin with the description of the scenery, and the scene blends. The first sentence, "Dark Snow Mountain with Long Clouds in Qinghai", is about the vast Qinghai Lake, which is filled with dense long clouds. On the other side of the lake stands a vast snow mountain stretching for thousands of miles. The second sentence, "Looking at Yumenguan in an isolated city", is about looking at Yumenguan in an isolated city. The first two sentences describe a broad picture. Grasping the typical scenery of the frontier fortress, the author tried his best to render the empty and desolate atmosphere of the northwest frontier, with harsh conditions and sinister environment, in order to set off the fearless spirit of the expedition soldiers to overcome difficulties and hardships.
The three sentences "yellow sand penetrates golden armor in hundreds of battles" point out the long fighting time of yellow sand penetrating golden armor, implying the fierceness, frequency, cruelty and hardship of the war and the desolation of the enemy's fierce border. Under such circumstances, the soldiers issued a heroic oath of "never breaking Loulan and never returning it". The golden armor of the third sentence can better set off the ambition of the soldiers to serve the country, without wear and tear, but more determined.
Cross the border
It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war.
If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.
Title: 1. Why did the author of the first sentence use "Qin Shi" and "Guan" as attributes before "Qin Shi" and "Guan"?
2. What do three or four sentences express the author's feelings?
Analysis: The word "Qin" precedes the bright moon, and the word "Han" precedes Xiongguan, which makes readers associate the border pass under the bright moon with the establishment of the customs in Qin and Han dynasties and a series of epic and magnificent historical events and stories of the Hu people, thus blending the vast space of "Guan" and "Yue" with the distant time of "Qin" and "Han".
In the past, the analysis of "A Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty, a Close Time in Han Dynasty" was limited to intertextual rhetoric, which was actually not enough. Students should have a deeper understanding rather than just remembering an unimportant rhetorical format.
Three or four sentences poets face Xiongguan, thinking about the past and cherishing the present, and their feelings are stirring. As long as the imperial court employs proper people and recruits talented people, there will be Wei Qing, who can attack the Dragon City, and Li Guang, a flying general who scares the Huns. There will be a strong border defense like Qin and Han dynasties. "Don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain" is the poet's aspiration and firm oath, full of heroic passion for consolidating frontier defense and defending the country.
By analyzing the thoughts and feelings of three or four sentences, students may wonder whether there is Wang Changling's dissatisfaction with the improper employment of people in the court, and then point the finger at the supreme ruler. This kind of understanding seems reasonable, but it is not realistic. Because the Tang Dynasty was powerful and the king was enlightened, the poet only expressed his good wishes in his poems, not his dissatisfaction with the court. Because in the frontier poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the poet expressed the high spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This is obviously different from the frontier poems in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Wang Changling is known as "the poet's son of heaven", and the seven wonders are also known as "Tianshi". At that time, it was as famous as Li Bai's seven wonders. As long as we grasp that Wang Changling's frontier poems focus on expressing the thoughts and feelings of soldiers, and the frontier environment is only to contrast the psychological characteristics of soldiers, it is not difficult to analyze his frontier poems.
