Poetry structure
1, flashback type
The whole poem chooses the best narrative angle-On the Way Home. A retired conscript suffering from homesickness hobbled on his way home, recalling his past life. The whole poem consists of six chapters, and the overall external structure is cleverly arranged in flashback.
The first five chapters focus on the strong homesickness, the hard life of moving to the border and the reasons for not returning for a long time. The last chapter ends the poem with a blend of scenes and touching sadness. The first five chapters focus on narration, while the last chapter focuses on borrowing scenery to express emotion. The changeable expression just shows the protagonist's contradictory mood.
2. Linear type
From the internal structure, Cai Wei adopts a linear style, that is, according to the passage of time or the transformation of space. The first three chapters of this poem are on the first floor, recalling the military life of the garrison soldier Ma Rong, expressing his homesickness, and pointing out the reasons for his difficulty in returning home.
Especially the first four sentences of the three chapters, in the form of complex sentences, with the passage of time, profoundly expressed the anxiety complex of the soldiers guarding the border. The fourth and fifth chapters describe the heroic fighting life against the enemy. In the form of space transformation, the fierce battle scenes against the enemy are described, showing the mighty military capacity, high morale, excellent equipment and frequent battles, and once again explaining the reasons why it is difficult to defend for a long time.
