Li He's Travel Notes of Wild Goose Gate
In the era when Li He lived, there were frequent rebellions and wars. According to the textual research of later historians, this poem should have been written by Yuanhe in the ninth year. At that time, the patriotic general Li Yingyong fought, defeated the rebels and killed the enemy in a hurry. In this poem, Li He created an image of a general with the spirit of dragon and horse, and through the spirit of this general who is determined to serve his country and willing to sacrifice for it, he expressed his own desire to serve the motherland.
Usually, there are not many bright colors in poems describing war scenes, but in this poem, Li He boldly uses many colors, such as "black", "gold", "purple" and "rouge". These bright and thick colors interweave into a beautiful picture, but such colors do not weaken the tension on the whole battlefield, but set off the ruthlessness and heroic and skillful fighting of the defenders on the battlefield, which is a bizarre style.

The whole poem is eight sentences. Li Hexian describes the siege of the great army, Enemy at the Gates. It looks like a thick dark cloud oppressing the city, showing a majestic scene of being outnumbered. At this critical moment, Li He turned to write about our army, and our soldiers came prepared. They have set the position. The sun shines on the armor, and the reflected golden light breaks through this thick black cloud, which symbolizes that our army will eventually win. The next two sentences describe that before the war, the drums of both sides were ringing together until it was getting late, and the soldiers' blood dripped on the land, showing a strange purple color in the night.
The last four sentences of this poem describe a group of brave soldiers who raided the enemy at night. The "half-rolled red flag" of our soldiers quietly approached the Yishui River, which not only showed the battlefield but also borrowed the allusion of "the wind is rustling and the water is cool" to show the soldiers' fear of death. Finally, the attack broke out suddenly, and the frost was heavy, so the drums were very low. Under such difficult circumstances, our soldiers fought bravely and were determined to serve the country with their lives.
