The frontier poems of Cen Can, a frontier poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, are bold and unrestrained, showing a kind of masculine and heroic beauty and exotic beauty. His thoughts, ci, ci and rhyme cast a highly confident style of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which showed the unique artistic charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and embodied the poet's unique creative personality.
Cen Can was the first outstanding frontier poet in ancient China. As a representative of the frontier poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, although Cen Can's frontier poems only account for about one fifth of his works (there are more than 400 of his poems), he is the poet with the most frontier poems and the most outstanding achievements among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty (there are more than 20 frontier poems by other poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only a few). His poems are magnificent and fit, especially the works depicting the frontier fortress scenery with unique artistic style, in which the "strangeness" is even more rare.
First of all, this idea is strange.
Cen Can's frontier poems about war usually focus on heroism and sacrifice, not hardship. Many of his poems enthusiastically praised Tang soldiers' brave and fearless spirit of serving the country with generous pens. For example, in "Ben Ma River Farewell to General Feng of the Western Expedition", "Long night armored, long night marching, Lingfeng sharp cutting face marching like a knife" effectively praised the feat of Tang Jun soldiers fighting alone at night, which made people respect these brave patriotic soldiers.
Second, the words are strange.
The artistic image created by the artist can make the appreciator re-create it through thinking in images. In his poems, Cen Can creatively described the scenery of the frontier fortress in ingenious ways, which made people interested in reading.
Cen Can's poems describe the strange climate outside the Great Wall, mainly highlighting the difference between the climate outside the Great Wall and the climate in the Central Plains, such as "Autumn snow still falls in spring" in Beiting, "No grass in March" in Luntai, and "Being separated from Eight In the snow" in "Sending the field official Wu to his hometown". Cen Can's poems also highlight the severe winter outside the Great Wall. For example, the poem "Snow Songs in Tianshan Mountain Send Xiao Zhi to Beijing", "The ethereal cold condenses Wan Li, and the cliff dries up thousands of feet" is both realistic and exaggerated, which is enough to freeze the coolness of Wan Li beyond the Great Wall.
