Swear to sweep the Huns regardless of health,
Five thousand minks mourn Chen Hu.
Poor bones by the river,
I am still a dream girl.
West Longxi Westbound is an old title of Yue Fu's Tune of Xianghe Pavilion, which is about the frontier war. Longxi, west of Longshan in Ningxia, Gansu. Chen Tao's The Journey to the West has four songs, and this is the second one. The poem reflects the pain and disaster brought to the people by the long-term border war in the Tang Dynasty.
This is the second part of the four * * * Westbound Longxi. The first two sentences are about soldiers being loyal and brave, and many people lost their lives. In the last two sentences, the victim is the lover of a young woman who is looking forward to her return and reunion day and night. The whole poem reflects the pain and disaster brought to the people by the long-term campaign in the Tang Dynasty, and expresses the feeling of not fighting. In a few words, compared with Bones by the Wuding River and People in a Spring Dream, the reality is relative, just like a montage in a movie, with good intentions. Poetry is sad, singing tears.
