"Zhuang" means that the frontier poems have strong ambition to serve the country and magnificent exotic scenery of frontier fortress, such as volcanic clouds, vast sea, flying sand and stones, yellow sand all over the sky, freezing cold and so on.
This "strangeness" is mainly manifested in Cen Can's unique writing skills, peculiar imagination and peculiar rhetorical devices. The magnificent scenery of the frontier fortress broadened Cen Can's imagination. For example, the "Spring Warm Wedding Room Last Night" in "Dream of Spring" was greatly appreciated by later generations.
Representative works:
Cen Can is one of the representatives of frontier poets in Tang Dynasty, and he is also called "Gao Cen" with Gao Shi. Cen Can's 67-year frontier life has made his frontier poems full of exotic majestic momentum, while Cen Can's personal experience and bumpy life experience have made his frontier poems extremely full of feelings and sighs about fate.
His representative works include General Gai Yumenguan's Military Song, Zhai Zhong's Works, Snow White's Song of Farewell to the Home of the Military Commander, Visiting the Messenger of the Capital, Song of the Wheel Platform and so on.
