Emotions expressed by the general’s gray-haired husband and his tears when he cannot sleep

The emotion expressed in "When a man is sleepless, the general's gray hair and husband's tears" express the author's patriotic feelings about the unrealized ambition and concern about the fate of the country. It also reflects the frontier soldiers' concern for those who are far away. The deep longing for hometown and relatives, as well as the disgust for the chaos and strife of war, reflect the desolation and suffering of the soldiers living together.

This poem comes from "The Proud Fisherman·Autumn Thoughts", written by Fan Zhongyan. Original text: The scenery is strange when autumn comes in Saixia, but no one notices when the geese leave Hengyang. Sounds ring out from all sides, thousands of miles away, long smoke sets, the sun sets, and the lonely city closes. A cup of turbid wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, but Yan Ran has no plan to return home. The Qiang pipes are covered with frost, people can't sleep, and the general's hair is white and his husband is in tears.

Poetry Translation and Appreciation

Translation: The autumn scenery outside the Great Wall is very different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. The wild geese are flying towards Hengyang without any nostalgia. As soon as the military horn blew, voices from all directions also followed. The mountain love that stretches for thousands of miles is full of misfortune. Under the setting sun, the gate of the lonely city is closed tightly.

After drinking a glass of wine, I couldn't help but miss my hometown thousands of miles away. However, the border had not yet been settled, and I could not make a plan to return home. A melodious flute played, and white frost and snow covered the ground. On such a night, it was impossible to sleep. The beard and hair of the generals in the military camp turned white, and the soldiers also shed sad tears.

Appreciation: The first part of this poem mainly describes the scenery, depicting the desolate and desolate autumn scenery of the frontier for us, creating a lonely and desolate atmosphere. The second film mainly describes the hard life and strong nostalgia of the frontier soldiers. It not only shows the author's heroic feelings of eager to make achievements, but also reflects his dissatisfaction and helplessness towards the war.
