Appreciation

"Baling Sending Li Twelve" is a poetic work by Wang Changling, a famous frontier fortress poet in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Changling was a poet who enjoyed great reputation during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Changling's poems mainly focus on three categories of themes, namely, frontier fortress, boudoir, palace resentment, and farewell. "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" evaluated Changling's poems as "dense in thread but clear in thinking". His Qijue poems are particularly outstanding, even comparable to Li Bai's, so he was dubbed the "Sage of Qijue". In particular, his frontier fortress poems are fluent, high-spirited and highly praised by future generations.

Wang Changling's frontier fortress poems fully reflect his patriotism and heroic spirit. In addition, they also deeply contain the poet's humanistic care for the lower class people, reflecting the poet's broad vision and broad mind. Wang Changling is good at using scenes to describe emotions and blending scenes in his writing style. This is the most commonly used structure in frontier poems, but the poet used the most concise techniques to expand a broader vision beyond this situation, condensing the most plain and unpretentious theme into something that runs through time and space. Eternal thinking; the most representative one is "Out of the Barrier".

A famous frontier poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he was known as the "Seven Masters" by later generations. In his early years, he was poor and humble, trapped in farming, but in the third year of his life, he became a Jinshi. He first served as secretary and provincial school secretary. He also became a erudite scholar and was awarded the rank of Sishui Lieutenant. He was demoted to Lingnan due to affairs. He had close friendships with Li Bai, Gao Shi, Wang Wei, Wang Zhihuan, Cen Shen, etc. At the end of Kaiyuan, he returned to Chang'an and was granted the title of Jiang Ningcheng.

His poems are famous for his seven unique poems, especially the frontier fortress poems he wrote when he went to the northwest frontier fortress before he ascended the imperial throne. He is known as "Wang Jiangning, the poet's master" (there is also the saying of "Wang Jiangning, the poet's emperor").
