In the classical Chinese "Hanging the Ancient Battlefield", "I am gloomy and miserable, and I take pleasure in it, thinking it is a trace of the past." What do you mean?

"The vast, flat sand is vast, no one is seen, the river is lingering, the mountains are in dispute, and it is gloomy and miserable." Translated into vernacular, it is an endless wilderness, with no one in sight. The river bends like a belt, and countless peaks crisscross in the distance. A gloomy and desolate scene.

Hanging the Ancient Battlefield is an essay written by Li Hua, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. This paper reviews the tragic scenes of wars in history, describes the bleak scenes of ancient battlefields, reveals the cruelty of wars and the disasters brought to the people, points out the necessity of implementing benevolent policies to stop wars, and expresses the author's good wishes for peace and infinite sympathy for the people, especially the soldiers.

First, the creative background

This article was written by Li Hua in the Tang Dynasty because he felt that the internal affairs of Xuanzong in the later period of Tang Dynasty were not repaired and he was wantonly crusaded. It was regarded as the eleventh year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (752). In that year 1 1 month, the author was sent to Shuofang (now Lingwu area of Ningxia) to inspect the military and political affairs, and witnessed the sand and stones flying in the frontier desert, the ice and snow, and the soldiers were bitter and cold, so I wrote this article.

Second, appreciate

Hanging the Ancient Battlefield flourished in the ancient battlefield, and its center was to advocate the practice of kingliness, please people with benevolence, courtesy and righteousness, and realize the unification of the world. In the view of treating war, it advocates carrying forward the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, affirming the war of aggression and opposing it.

The description of the war in this paper is very cruel and miserable, aiming at arousing the anti-war sentiment of people from all walks of life, so as to achieve the purpose of "preventing the four foreigners" and stabilizing the border defense, which is highly targeted.

This article entitled "Hanging the Ancient" is actually a satire on today. The full text takes "ancient battlefield" as the lyric basis, "sadness" as the emotional main line of the whole article, and takes the dilemma of distant garrison, the horror of the war between the two armies, the comparison of victory and defeat, and the mourning of the families of foot soldiers as the structural level, and goes deep into it layer by layer, and finally points out the main idea. Compact structure, in one go.
