An analysis of the specific poets of the frontier poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty

Highly healthy
1, creative characteristics: frontier fortress poems are mostly written during the trip to northern Hebei and the period of entering the Hexi shogunate, based on the actual life experience of visiting frontier fortress. In addition to seven-character songs, most of them use long-tune five-character ancient poems, which combine personal cutting-edge knowledge, observation and thinking, fame and ambition. They are desolate and sad, but their tone is impassioned.
2. Masterpiece: "Ge Yanxing" is his masterpiece, and his thoughts and feelings are extremely complicated: there are both praise for the heroism of men who are rampant in the world and sympathy for the pain caused by the war to the families of conscripts; On the one hand, it is a tribute to the heroism of the soldiers who fought bloody battles and forgot themselves. On the other hand, it is a condemnation of the generals who sang and danced in front of the account and didn't care about the soldiers. Although this poem mostly uses regular sentences and parallel prose, it is not good at gorgeous literary talent, but ups and downs, winning with heavy momentum and deep bones.
(2) Cen Can
1, Life and Creation: Two trips to the Northwest Frontier are the most significant feats in Cen Can's life. The second trip to the frontier fortress provided him with the opportunity to become a master of frontier fortress poetry. His representative works include Song of Farewell to Feng, General of the Western Expedition, Song of Farewell to Tian Wu's Return to His Hometown, and so on. The forbidding harsh climatic environment of the frontier desert in the poem "Shu Dao Ji" has become a spectacular scenery that sets off the heroic spirit of the Tang army, which is a wonderful beauty. The enterprising spirit, the pride of overcoming difficulties and the positive and cheerful attitude reflect the unique artistic feelings of poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "Bai Xuege Farewell Tian Shuji Wu Going Home" is about a hovering atmosphere, and that strange feeling is escaping. What is particularly remarkable is the image of "blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees", which depicts the snow scene in the border area with pear flowers. The transformation is surprising and unexpected, which not only embodies the optimistic spirit of the soldiers who are not afraid of the cold, but also makes the scenery in the border area more magical and magnificent.
2. Creative features: Cen Can is good at seven-character poems and seven-character quatrains. His frontier works are the earliest among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Under the control of frontier fortress's generosity and pride, the poet's impression of military life, frontier fortress scenery and unique customs is magical and magnificent. The poet praised warmly, which broke through the traditional mode of writing frontier poems in the past and greatly enriched and broadened the description theme and content scope of frontier poems. In terms of artistic expression, it draws lessons from the ups and downs of Gao Shi and others' seven-character songs to innovate, which is close to Yuefu in form, but does not use the ancient Yuefu topic at all.
(3) Wang Changling and other poets:
Most of Wang Changling's frontier poems describe soldiers' patriotic feats and homesickness with old Yuefu poems, and their poetic style is multi-purpose, and they are also called "seven unique hands". His "The Fortress" was once praised as a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty. Other famous frontier poets include Li Jie, Wang Zhihuan and William Wang.
