Liangzhou Ci is a group of poems written by William Wang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, with the theme of describing the life of frontier fortress soldiers and expressing their bold and passionate patriotic feelings. The poem shows the heroic loyalty of frontier fortress soldiers by depicting the grand and luxurious banquet, the bold and cheerful style of soldiers and the tragic battle scenes in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
One of William Wang's "Liangzhou Ci": "If you want to drink pipa, you should urge it immediately. Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several wars in ancient times. " This poem takes the luminous glass of wine as the introduction, showing the scene of frontier fortress soldiers gathering and drinking before the war. At the banquet, the soldiers drank heavily and the atmosphere was warm.
The poet vividly described the scene of the band playing the pipa and urging the soldiers to raise their glasses and drink through the sentence "Prompt immediately if you want to drink the pipa". These two sentences, "Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several times since ancient times", express the poet's admiration for the soldiers who fought bloody battles, and show their heroic spirit of fearlessness and death.
The second part of Liangzhou Ci: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city, Wan Ren. Why bother to complain about the willow, the spring breeze is only Yumenguan. " With the Yellow River far above the white clouds as the background, this poem depicts the magnificent scenery of the border.
The poet expressed his yearning for his hometown through the words "an isolated city, Wan Ren Mountain", and "why should the flute of the earth complain about the willow, and the spring breeze is just like Yumenguan". In the magnificent frontier scenery, the poet shows his deep attachment to his hometown and wishes for the prosperity of the country.
"Liangzhou Ci" Part III: "Wine, luminous cup. If you want to drink pipa, hurry up. Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several wars in ancient times. " This poem is similar to the first one, and once again shows the scene of frontier fortress soldiers drinking before the war. Through the phrase "wine, luminous cup", the poem emphasizes the richness and luxury of the banquet.
In the picture of Liangzhou Ci, we can draw such a picture: on the vast border land, an isolated city stands among the mountains of Wan Ren. There was a grand banquet in the city, and the soldiers sat together, drinking wine, singing and laughing. Outside the city, the Yellow River gushes and meets the white clouds in the sky.
Through the appreciation and painting of Liangzhou Ci, we can better understand William Wang's poems, and feel the heroic spirit of the border guards and their deep feelings for their hometown and country. Liangzhou Ci is not only a true portrayal of the frontier life in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also a vivid expression of the poet's feelings about home and country.
