It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war.
Brief introduction of the author
Wang Changling was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Not much to say. Jingzhao Chang 'an (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi) was born. In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan (727), he was a scholar and served as secretary of provincial studies. He once made friends with Meng Haoran, and "they shared the same brush and inkstone for many years" (Meng Haoran's "Sending Wang Changling Lingnan"). In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Wang Changling was awarded the county commandant of Surabaya (now northeast of Gongxian County, Henan Province). In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, he was relegated to Lingnan for something. When passing Xiangyang, Meng Haoran sent him a poem ("Send Wang Changling to Lingnan"). After Yueyang, Hunan, I sent Li Bai's poem "Ba Ling Send Li Twelve". The following year, he returned to Chang 'an from the North and South Mountains and was appointed as the county magistrate of Jiangning (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) in the winter of the same year. Known as King Jiangning. After a few years in Jiangning, he was slandered to destroy the country and was demoted to the county magistrate of Longbiao (now Qianyang, Hunan). Li Bai has poems and is deeply sympathetic and nostalgic. An Shi arose, and Wang Changling was demoted to Jiangning and killed by Qiu Xiao, the secretariat of Haozhou. There are many versions of Wang Changling's native place, except Taiyuan, Jiangning and Jingzhao. Wang Changling was a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. At that time, he was very famous and was called "the poet king Jiangning". Because the name of the poem was written earlier, I made many friends with the famous poets at that time, and the friendship was very deep. In addition to the above-mentioned friends with Li Bai and Meng Haoran, I also made friends with Gao Shi, Yun,,, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Wei, Chu Guangxi and Chang Jian. He was demoted several times, living in remote Lingnan and Xiangxi, traveling to and from the economically developed Central Plains and Southeast China, to the northwest frontier, and even to the area of Broken Leaves (now Kyrgyzstan). Because of his rich life experience and extensive friends, it is of great benefit to his poetry creation. Wang Changling is good at seven-character quatrains, and he is called the seven-line master by later generations. For example, the poem "Out of the Great Wall" wrote: "The moon passed through Qin, and the Long March people did not return. But make Longcheng fly, and don't teach Huma to cross Yinshan. " Lamenting the incompetence, broad artistic conception, deep feelings and boldness of vision of the garrison commander is indeed a treasure in ancient poetry and is hailed as a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty. Another example is Wait, which is also a well-known masterpiece.
Frontier fortress is a famous frontier fortress poem by Wang Changling, a poet in Tang Dynasty. This poem reflects the common desire of soldiers: under the leadership of a brave and resourceful general, defend the motherland and prevent the enemy from invading the country. The poet Cui Xiji said: "Bright Moon, you have captured the boundary of Qin and Han Dynasties, which is the boundary of victory;" Today, the moon is still bright, but the border war has been going on, making the recruiters far away from Wan Li and unable to go home. If there is a star like Li Guang, he will never let the enemy cross the Yinshan to invade!
Translation:
The bright moon is still the bright moon since ancient times, and the border crossing is still the border crossing since ancient times.
Only those soldiers who are far away from home and have been stationed at the border for a long time have not returned.
If a general like Li Guang is still here.
The enemy will never dare to invade us again.
Central idea: express the author's hope that the court will use good generals to quell the war as soon as possible and let the people live a stable life; It also expresses the author's sympathy for the soldiers stationed in the border for a long time.
Appreciation/appreciation
This is a frontier fortress that laments the constant war on the border and the lack of a good general in the country. The first sentence of this poem is the most intriguing. It's about the Han Pass, Mingyue Qin here. Great historical changes have taken place, and the fighting has not stopped. Write two sentences about how many men died in battle and how many tragedies were left behind. Three or four sentences have written the people's wishes for thousands of years, hoping to have a "flying dragon" to calm the chaos and stabilize the border defense. The whole poem sings a profound and open-minded theme in plain language, with smooth momentum and one go, which is amazing to sing.
Poetry begins with writing about scenery. "The moon was bright in Qin Dynasty, but closed in Han Dynasty". The bright moon was in the sky, shining on Wan Li frontier fortress, showing the vastness of frontier fortress and the depression of scenery. In front of the "Moon" and "Pass", it is decorated with "Qin and Han Dynasties", which has a higher artistic conception and leads us to distant ancient times, which is even more thought-provoking: the border war has been continuous since Qin and Han Dynasties and has continued until now, which has really dragged on for too long! This is a description of the long history of frontier fortress in Time.
In the face of such a scene, people in the frontier feel moved by the scene, and naturally think of countless people who have devoted themselves to the frontier since the Qin and Han Dynasties and have not returned to their deaths. "The Long March has not yet returned" also points out the remoteness of the frontier fortress from a spatial perspective. The "people" here not only refer to the soldiers who died in the battlefield, but also refer to the soldiers who are still holding on and cannot return. "People have not returned" means that the border defense is not consolidated, and the second is sympathy for the foot soldiers. These are two sides of the same question, the former is the cause and the latter is the result. This is a big problem that has not been solved from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty. How to solve this problem? The third and fourth sentences are the poet's answers.
"Only make the Dragon City fly, but don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain", which directly expresses the frontier fortress soldiers' desire to consolidate frontier defense and defend their country: as long as there is a famous soldier like Li Guang, the enemy cavalry will not cross the Yinshan Mountain. These two sentences speak for themselves. In other words, due to the improper employment of people by the imperial court, the generals were unqualified, which led to the situation of burning eyebrows and people's livelihood.
Although this poem has only four short lines, its content is complicated through the description of frontier fortress scenery and conscription psychology. Have strong sympathy for the soldiers who have been defending for a long time, and have the desire to end this border defense regardless of the situation; At the same time, it also showed dissatisfaction with the court's failure to select and appoint talents, and at the same time paid attention to the overall situation and realized the justice of the war. Therefore, his personal interests are subordinate to the needs of national security, and he issued an oath of "not teaching Huma to turn over the shady mountain", which is full of patriotic passion.
