Which poem by Guan Shanyue?

Guan Shanyue is a five-character ancient poem written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem is about the mutual thoughts of frontier fortress soldiers who are far away from home and their wives at home, and profoundly reflects the pain brought to the general public by the war. The whole poem is divided into three layers. The first four sentences mainly describe the vast frontier landscape including three factors: Guan, Shan and Yue, thus expressing the homesickness of the people who went to war.

The middle four sentences are about war scenes, and the battlefield is miserable and cruel. The last four sentences are written to see the border, miss my hometown, and then think of my wife sighing at the tall building in the moonlight. This poem is like a frontier scroll, which consists of three parts: the moon in the mountains, the sadness of the battlefield and the homesickness for the guests. It runs through the whole poem with resentment, uniform color, seamless, vigorous and natural style.

Looking at the endless ethnic conflicts in the ancient frontier, the poet revealed the great sacrifices brought by the war and the pain brought to countless expropriated people and their families, but did not simply condemn or praise the war. The poet seems to be thinking about the heavy price paid by generations for this.

Faced with such contradictions, poets, recruiters and even readers can easily arouse a desire. This desire is not directly expressed in the poem, but the idea that soldiers are weapons and saints should use them is easy for readers to produce when reading this work.
