Cross the border
Wang Changling
Bright moon in Qin dynasty, bright moon in Han dynasty.
The Long March hasn't come back yet.
But Dragon City will fly in,
Don't teach Huma to climb the Yinshan Mountain.
To annotate ...
But make: If make.
Longcheng: the place where Xiongnu worships heaven. The address is near Erhun River in Mongolia.
General Fei: It refers to China's famous Li Guang. The Huns called him "General Fei". Yinshan: In today's central Inner Mongolia.
Brief analysis
This is a frontier fortress poem lamenting that the country has no elite soldiers. The first sentence of this poem is the most intriguing. It is amazing that the Hanguan Road, Mingyue and Qin Dynasty were all here, and historic changes have taken place. Write two sentences about how many men died in battle and how many tragedies were left behind. Three or four sentences have written the people's wishes for thousands of years, hoping to have a "flying dragon" to calm the chaos and stabilize the border defense. The whole poem sings a profound and open-minded theme in plain language, with smooth momentum and one go, which is amazing to sing. Li Panlong of Amin Dynasty once praised it as a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty, which is not too much.
