The first half of the poem "Chan Yu Xun Fleeing at Night" is: The wild geese fly high in the dark moon.
This poem comes from Lu Lun's "Song of Saixia". The whole poem is:
"Song of Saixia"
The black geese fly high in the moon
>The Chan Yu fled at night
Wanted to drive the Qingqi away
The bow and knife were covered with heavy snow
This is from Lu Lun's poem "Song under the Sai" The third song. Lu Lun once served as a marshal judge in the shogunate and had experience in military life. His poems describing this kind of life are relatively substantial and vigorous in style. This poem describes the general's heroic and heroic preparations to lead his troops to chase the enemy on a snowy night. The first two sentences describe the enemy's retreat. "The wild geese fly high in the dark moon", the moon is covered by clouds, and it is pitch black. The wild geese startle and fly high. "Chan Yu fled at night", on this unusual night with dark moon and high wind, the enemy army secretly escaped. "Chanyu" originally refers to the supreme ruler of the Xiongnu. Here it refers to the invaders of the Khitan and other tribes who often invaded the south at that time. The last two sentences describe the scene of the general preparing to chase the enemy, which is very powerful. "In order to drive the light cavalry away", the general discovered that the enemy was absconding and wanted to lead the light cavalry to pursue him. Just as he was about to set off, there was a heavy snowfall, and in an instant, his bow and sword were covered with snowflakes. The last sentence, "The bow and knife are covered with heavy snow" is a description of the severe cold scene, which highlights the hardship of the battle and the brave spirit of the soldiers. This poem blends scenes. The enemy troops fled under the situation of "moon black geese flying high", and the general prepared to pursue the situation under the situation of "heavy snow full of bows and swords". The atmosphere of escape and pursuit is effectively rendered. The whole poem does not describe the process of chasing the enemy in the snow, nor does it directly describe the fierce battle scenes, but it leaves people with a lot of imagination.
