The first couplet, Rain on the Shore of the City, describes the scenery seen when the frontier fortress climbed the building: the heavy rain brought by the rain on the Shore of the City told the readers that the environment of the frontier fortress was terrible, and a beautiful oriole bird flew to the garrison building to hide from the rain. This oriole has become a bright color in this harsh frontier, which seems to convey some warmth in the poet's heart. Wang Guowei said that "all scenery words are sentimental words", but in the first couplet, the poet's feelings are not expressed or stated, as if there were a little desolation and a little warmth in it, showing implicit beauty.
Zhuan Xu's poem "Tears in the flowers, homesickness hanging on the willow" is particularly ingenious, blending feelings into the scenery, showing affection and water in the scenery. Gone with the Wind describes the scene where the tears of homesickness of the wanderer dance with the flowers flying all over the Great Wall, vividly highlighting the number of tears of the wanderer and the intensity of homesickness. And "hanging" turns intangible emotion into tangible image, and connects homesickness with willow. The poet skillfully left other connotations in the willow image. "Liu" and "Liu" are homonyms, so Liu has the meaning of nostalgia in ancient poetry. "Hanging Homesickness with weeping willows" concretizes and visualizes the wanderer's deep homesickness, as if this homesickness has become a tangible material, covered with willows in the frontier. This heavy homesickness and its pain are vividly shown, just like Li Yu's "How much sorrow can there be, just like a river flowing eastward", and it is the poet's ingenuity to visualize the intangible emotion-sadness.
The necklace "White hair and sad mirror, youth is our fur" directly expresses the feelings of years passing and unfinished achievements. The emotion in White Hair and Sad Mirror is the same as that in Li Bai's Into the Wine, "How lovely it would be if I didn't see him", which expresses the sadness of the passage of time. And "youth for our fur" supplements why we should be sad and gloomy. Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable in life. Poets feel so sad about the passing of their youth because they have not made achievements and failed to realize their political ideals. "Autumn" is a valuable leather coat, which can only be worn by dignitaries, and it has the meaning of achievement here. Because the scholars in feudal times paid attention to "learning written martial arts and appreciating the imperial family." "The poets in the Tang Dynasty took the world as their responsibility, and almost all felt that they had the talent of prime minister, which could help the emperor achieve prosperity. There is no doubt that Cen Can will have the ambition to achieve success, but an "honest man" will clearly express his frustration.
The couplet "Your ambassador from Wan Li heard about Guazhou" expressed two emotions. First, I am sincerely happy for my good friend Judge Yuwen's smooth return to Guazhou. But at the same time, I feel sad and helpless because I am still stranded in the frontier fortress (Wuwei). The emotions of happiness and sadness are intertwined, revealing rich and complex emotions between the lines. The end of the poem is implicit and meaningful, and the sound is endless.
"Ruthlessness is not necessarily a hero." The frontier poets wrote not only those ambitions, those wonders beyond the Great Wall, the lofty sentiments of those men, but also the tenderness in their hearts.
