Cén shēn (about 7 15-770), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Nanyang (now Xinye, Henan) and moved to Jiangling (now Hubei). Jiangling, Jingzhou (Jiangling, Hubei), a famous frontier poet in Tang Dynasty, died at the age of 56. His poems are romantic, magnificent, imaginative, colorful and passionate, especially good at seven-character quatrains.
The whole poem describes a typical scene in which the poet traveled to the frontier fortress and met an envoy who returned to Beijing, bringing a message of peace to comfort his family. It expresses his homesickness. The language of poetry is simple, but it contains two feelings, one is yearning for fame, the other is affection and pride, which are deeply intertwined and touching.
In the eighth year of Tianbao (749), Cen Can made his first mission to the Western Regions and served as the secretary of the shogunate of Gao Xianzhi. He bid farewell to his wife in Chang 'an and strutted on a long journey. This year, Cen Can joined the army for the first time, left Yangguan in the west and went to Anxi. There are two spiritual pillars in Cen Can's thought of joining the army: one pillar is the ideal of making contributions to the frontier, which inspires him. He once said to himself, "fame should only be taken at once. The real hero is the husband." Another pillar is that he believes that joining the army is to serve the motherland and to serve the country urgently. He once confessed: "Wan Li served the King with nothing to ask for, and knew the hardships of the fortress. Is it for his wife? " Based on these two points, most of his frontier poems are high-spirited and optimistic, showing Tang Jun's high morale and prestige that shocked the earth. But when soldiers embark on a journey, they can't miss home, and they can't miss their parents and wives. Gao Shi's "Ge Yanxing" goes: "The iron clothes are far away, and the hard work is long, and my wife is crying here. Still in this southern city, the young wife's heart is broken, while the soldiers on the northern border are looking forward to going home in vain. "
