The main idea of ??the poem

A city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.
After hundreds of battles, the yellow sand has penetrated the iron armor.
He will not go home until Loulan City is conquered.
Background of the poem
The frontier fortress poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty have a lofty artistic conception and a tragic style. They are like powerful bugles, and the history is filled with excitement every time they are blown.
The frontier poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty had broad visions and exciting minds, full of majestic romantic temperament and indomitable heroic spirit. They sang the strongest voice of the times and fully embodied the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They were unique wonders in the ancient poetry world and an elusive peak for later generations of poets.
Among these frontier poets, Wang Changling was the one who wrote the most and best seven-character quatrains. Qijue began to mature in the early Tang Dynasty, but its expressive ability has not been fully explored, and there are not many excellent works. Wang Changling, with his successful creative practice, brought the summary ability of Qijue to the extreme. He was the same writer as Li Bai The poet with the highest achievement in quatrains, some even say that he surpasses Li Bai. He is very famous. It has the reputation of "Wang Jiangning, the Poet Emperor." So he was called Wang Jiangning, maybe because he was from Jiangning, or because he was an official in Jiangning. Almost all of the seven poems in his "Military March" are excellent works, revealing the psychological activities of frontline soldiers from various angles. For example, the fourth song:
Qinghai has long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. Yellow sand can wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken.
The sentence "Qinghai long clouds and dark snow mountains" exaggerates the atmosphere of war: "Yellow sand and hundreds of battles with golden armor" not only reveals the hardship of the environment, but also shows the soldiers' indifference. Xu Guo’s heroism.
