1, sent to the fortress [Tang Dynasty] Wang Wei
Riding a bike to visit the border and passing through Juyan County. Pengpeng also floated out of Korea, and the geese heading north also flew into the sky.
The vast desert is lonely, and the Yellow River sets the yen. When I arrived at the small pass, I met a spy waiting for the knight and told me that Dou Hu was in Yan.
Appreciation: This is a frontier poem written by the poet on his way to the frontier to express his condolences to the soldiers. It describes the journey of making frontier fortress and the scenery beyond the Great Wall seen during the journey. The first two sentences explain the purpose and place of this trip and why you wrote this poem; Zhuan Xu's two sentences contain multiple meanings and describe the feeling of falling from the grass.
The two sentences of the neck couplet describe the magnificent scene of the frontier desert, with a vast realm and magnificent weather. The end couplet wrote frontier fortress, but I didn't see the general officer. The scout told the special envoy that the first general was at the front.
This poem not only reflects the frontier life, but also expresses the feelings of loneliness, loneliness and sadness caused by the exclusion of the poet, as well as the generous and tragic feelings caused by the emotion being edified, purified and sublimated in the majestic scenery of the desert, showing an open-minded feeling.
2. Guan Shanyue [Tang Dynasty] Li Bai
A bright moon rises from Qilian Mountain and crosses the vast sea of clouds. The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass.
At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai. This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive.
The garrison soldier looked at the remote border town, and his hometown could not help but look sad. The soldier's wife looked at the tower and lamented when she would see her relatives far away.
Appreciation: "Guan Shanyue" is one of the Yuefu songs in the Han Dynasty, which belongs to "Drum and Horn Blowing Songs" and is often sung by the border guards on horseback at that time. Li Bai's poems still inherit the ancient Yuefu in content, but the brushwork is unique and innovative.
The poet described the hardships of the ancient border guards and condemned the sufferings brought to the people by the unjust war, thus insinuating and criticizing the militancy of the ruling class in the Tang Dynasty and showing the theme of opposing the war of aggression.
3. Dunhuang Music [Ming Dynasty] Yang Shen
The horn blew through the plum blossom, and Hu Yun picked up Qin Xia from a distance.
White geese are stuffed with purple in the west wind, and yellow sand is carved with soap in the sunset.
In the Han Dynasty, shepherds were asked to watch festivals and put on pipa.
I returned to the clouds in my dream, and I felt tears flowing all over the sky.
Appreciation: Dunhuang city is more than 100 miles northwest, that is, Yumenguan, the Gobi is vast and sparsely populated, and it is the border of ancient countries. Speaking of such a scene, it makes people homesick, not because of the spring breeze, but because of the melancholy difficulties! The frontier is bitter and cold, leaving Dunhuang, Yumenguan in the northwest and Yangguan in the southwest.
In the Silk Road, Yangguan is not only a military pass to explore the western regions, but also a trading port for Chinese and Western trade on the southern line of the Silk Road. So the road leading to the western regions through Yangguan became the busiest road in the world at that time, with a width of 36 feet, which was called "Yangguan Avenue".
