This is a song from the plug. Song of Xia Sai is an old title of Han Yuefu, which belongs to Song of Cross Blowing, and its content is mostly the frontier battle. The original * * * six songs, Heng Tang decided to choose four of them.
This is the third poem in Lulun's poem Song of the Frontier. Lu Lun used to be a marshal judge of the shogunate, and he had a good understanding of the life of soldiers. Poetry describing this life is more substantial and powerful in style. This poem is about the heroic feat of the general preparing to lead his troops in pursuit of the enemy on a snowy night.
The poetry of this poem is:
Leading a horse to drink water across the river, the biting autumn wind in Shui Han is like a sword. The battlefield is vast, the sunset has not yet set, and Lintao is seen in the distance in the darkness. There was a fierce battle on the Great Wall that year, and it was said that the soldiers guarding the border were in high spirits. Since ancient times, yellow dust has been everywhere, and bones have been scattered with weeds.
Appreciation of this poem;
The characteristic of this poem in conception is to express the theme with profile description. The poem does not specifically describe the war, but expresses the poet's views on the war through the description of the scenery beyond the Great Wall and the remains of the past war.
The first four sentences come from what the sergeant saw and felt when drinking horses and crossing the river, depicting the bleak and biting cold scene outside the Great Wall. The poet chooses the time of description in late autumn dusk, which is more conducive to expressing what he has written. When writing about bitter cold, only choose the water and wind that can best express the environmental characteristics. Concise pen and ink can receive good artistic effect.
The last two sentences describe the general preparing to chase the enemy, which is unusual. "And we chase it, and the horse is lightly burdened." The general found that the enemy had absconded and wanted to lead the light cavalry to pursue it; Not only is it fast, but it also shows a high degree of confidence.
When the warriors set out in line, a heavy snow began to fall. Although they didn't stand for a while, the bow and knife were covered with snowflakes in an instant. Covered the cold light of their weapons. They are like arrows about to leave the string. Although they haven't set off yet, they are full of confidence in victory.
Although this poem has only 20 words, it tells the truth at that time: Khan fled with his army in the scene of "moonlight shining high, geese flying into the sky", and the general was ready to attack with his army in the extremely cold weather of 2008 and a burden of snow on our bow and knife. Escape and chase all the nervousness. Although the poem does not directly describe the fierce battle scenes, it leaves readers with a broad imagination space and creates a long poetic atmosphere.
