At the beginning of Ge Yanxing written by Gao Shi, the sentence "The northeast border is filled with smoke, in order to repel the barbaric invaders, our army generals left their homes" shows the heroism of galloping on the battlefield, which makes people seem to see the magnificent scene of flags flying and drums beating. And "Hehao and the river are cold and desolate outer borders, but soon the barbarian's horse is caught in the wind and rain" and other poems mainly describe the scene of war. These poems were written in the face of formidable enemies and heavy casualties in Tang Jun. So the war broke out and had to be withdrawn, but even though the war was so unfavorable, Tang Jiang was still crowing and dancing, very fatuous and incompetent.
Of course, there is a similar description of women's thinking in Gao Shi's Ge Yanxing, but Gao Shi's description is different from that of Cao Pi and others, and more reflects a kind of grief and indignation. "Still in this southern city, the young wife's heart is broken, while the soldiers on the northern border are looking for their homes in vain" uses the method of contrast here, and compares the cruelty of war through the description of recruiters and young women missing each other. Moreover, at the end of the poem, the topic once again shifted to the evaluation of the war. However, when it comes to the hardships of the desert war, our name today is Li, a great general, who lived a long time ago. These words are borrowed, and compared with the death of foot soldiers, which made them "die of salt and happiness", those Tang generals were only obsessed with singing and dancing, which profoundly reflected that feudal rulers could not make good use of people and reflected satirical poems.
It can be seen that in Gao Shi's Ge Yanxing, the content of thinking about women is only a point. This poem mainly tells the scene of the border war, and it is an authentic frontier poem. Due to the influence of Gao Shi, the Tang people used the word "Yan Di" more when writing Ge Yanxing, mainly describing the war in the north. For example, Jia Zhi's Ge Yanxing is one of the representatives. If Gao Shi's "Xing" also contains young women and people's thoughts, and it is an inheritance of the theme of Cao Pi's "Xing", then when Jia Zhi wrote "Xing", he started with the poem "The important town of the country is only a secluded capital, with nine barbarians in the east and Hu Kong in the north", and introduced the scenery at the beginning, telling the unique allusions, such as "and so on. The following book also describes in detail the battle scenes between ethnic minorities and Han nationality, which clearly embodies the characteristics of frontier poems.
In addition, Qu Tongxian's poem Yan Gexing in the Tang Dynasty "You don't see fishing in August, but you want people to feel homesick", and Han Tao's poem "Born as a Han General, Just at the Time of Disagreement" also embodies such characteristics.
Let's see what prompted the change of the theme.
Let's look at Gao Shi first. Great changes have taken place in the theme of Ge Yanxing by Gao Shi, which is inseparable from Gao Shi's own creative style. Gao Shi is a representative figure of frontier fortress poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Gao Shi lived in the historical period of the Tang Dynasty, and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was relatively strong. Many people have the idea of making contributions to border defense, and Gao Shi was named Bohai Hou. He was one of the few in the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, although the Tang Dynasty was very powerful at that time, there were also some social contradictions. Gao Shi saw the political corruption in the Tang Dynasty at the end of Tianbao, which was naturally reflected in his poems, such as "Half of the frontline soldiers were killed, half of them are still alive, and the beautiful women in the camp are singing and dancing", "But when it comes to the hardships of the desert battlefield, today we want to mention Li, an eternal star".
Studying Gao Shi's Ge Yanxing, we can find that Gao Shi's poems are not behind closed doors, but have a life background and are artistically processed according to the scenes he saw in real life. Yan began to sing in an orderly way, saying, "In the 26th year of Kaiyuan, a guest came back from an ancient scholar with a bow, and asked Yan to sing in order to show his comfort. I feel guilty about this, so I am harmonious. " In other words, the background of Gao Shi's creation of Ge Yanxing was in the Kaiyuan period, and he wrote it because of defense. So what do you feel about? In the 24th year of Kaiyuan, this happened. Zhang Shou, our envoy from Youzhou? The rebellion of An Shi led to the rebellion of Khitan, only to be defeated by Lu because the rebellion of An Shi relied on courage and lightness. It can be seen that Gao Shi's poem was probably created by alluding to the fighting at that time.
It can be seen that Gao Shi's personal creative style is tragic and generous, which is inseparable from his personal experience, what he saw and felt, and it is his personal style that prompted him to integrate his own thoughts when creating Yan Gexing, which led to a major change in the theme of Yan Gexing.
