Join the army and do the third thing.
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan.
Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.

It is natural for soldiers to be homesick, because they are also flesh and blood. But the fundamental value of soldiers is that they are defenders of the security of the motherland. This is the case now, and it is also the case in ancient times.
There are many chapters in Wang Changling's frontier poems that show the lofty spirit of the soldiers who are determined to defend the motherland. The above one is more representative.
The first sentence is about the geographical location and environment of the frontier. A "dark" word gives people a feeling of heavy depression. The second sentence is about the sinister situation. They are in the frontier, looking back at the motherland, and all they see is an isolated city in Yumenguan. The third sentence says that the battle is fierce, the language is summarized and the image is vivid. In the last sentence, the soldiers vowed to eulogize their loyalty and courage. With the foreshadowing of the first three sentences, the oath of the soldiers is even heavier.
It should be pointed out that this is not a realistic work. Judging from the place names involved, they are no less than a thousand miles apart. Qinghai Lake is in the west of Xining City, Qinghai Province, and Yumenguan is in the west of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province. However, there was no Loulan State in the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, and Loulan State in the Han Dynasty was in the southeast of Shanshan County, Xinjiang. But the poet wrote them in a poem to show the bravery and patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers guarding the border. This is not only allowed in poetry creation, but also universal. People are interested in the ideas and interests expressed in poetry. If you have to use a rubber column and drum for textual research, it will be too much trouble.
Precautions:
Qinghai: Qinghai Lake, in today's Qinghai Province.
Yumenguan: The name of the border pass was set in the Han Dynasty, in the west of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province.
Loulan: the name of the Western Regions in Han Dynasty, located in Laqiang County and Lop Nur, Xinjiang, generally refers to the minority regimes in the border areas between Tang and Xinjiang.
