(2) Broad image: write big pictures and wonderful scenes.
(3) High pitch: the momentum is smooth and full of sublimity.
(4) Both genres are good: both songs and rhymes have excellent works.
As far as the genre of frontier poems is concerned, the creation of classical poems, including lines of songs, is mature and spectacular. Representative works include: An Ancient Warsong by Li Jie, and Night Collection of Judge Liangzhou Pavilion by Cen Can.
On the other hand, frontier poems in recent days are becoming more and more mature. Representative works include: Wang Changling's Out of the Great Wall and Joining the Army, Wang Zhihuan's Out of the Great Wall and William Wang's Liangzhou Ci.
According to the different material selection and emotional content of frontier fortress poems, there are mainly the following types:
First, from the perspective of soldiers guarding the border, write about the tragic war or the lofty sentiments of serving the country.
Take Wang Changling's Join the Army as an example;
Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain,
Seeing yumenguan from the lonely city.
Huang Sha wears golden armor in many battles.
If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it.
From the perspective of the soldiers on the frontier, this poem not only makes us want to see the cruelty and tragic war, but also makes us see the lofty aspirations of the soldiers who swear to serve the country and their firm belief in winning in the end.
Second, from the perspective of housewives, criticizing the war has destroyed the people's peaceful and peaceful life.
Writing about the sufferings caused by the war from the perspective of thinking about women has formed a unique poem "Frontier fortress in my heart forever".
Take Jin Changxu's "Spring Complaints" as an example;
Get rid of the oriole, get rid of all the music on the tree.
They woke her up when she dreamed that she went to meet him in Liaoxi camp.
Are the relatives who have guarded the border for many years still alive? Are you full every day? Can cotton-padded clothes keep out the cold? All this makes the thinking woman worry and worry, but these worries and worries can't be solved, and the thoughts are unconsciously in reverie. It is also a bitter happiness to meet someone you miss in your dream. No wonder the hostess wants to drive away the lovely orioles. This kind of unreasonable affectionate behavior has exposed that the war has destroyed the peaceful life of the people. It seems to be a little poem expressing children's feelings, but in fact it has profound content of the times and reflects the suffering of the broad masses of people under the military service system at that time.
Third, from the perspective of onlookers, accuse the evils of war.
Du Fu wrote sadly in Military Vehicle Shop: "We have learned that it is unlucky to have a son, but it is much better to have a daughter." "Have you ever seen all the old bones of the forgotten people on Qinghai's head? The new ghost hates the old ghost crying and cries the loudest in the dark sky on a stormy day. " The war made countless families leave their homes and turned countless soldiers into countless bones!
In contrast, Gao Shi showed such a picture in Ge Yanxing: "Half of our soldiers died at the front, but the other half is still alive, and beautiful girls are still dancing and singing for them in the military camp." On the one hand, the front-line soldiers fought bloody battles and could die at any time; On the one hand, it is the generals who indulge in debauchery.
Fourth, from the perspective of soldiers, write about the mental pain caused by long-term border defense.
Wang Changling's "Join the Army" is typical:
Pipa dances with new sounds,
Always close the mountain and leave old feelings behind.
I can't hear enough sadness,
Autumn moon shines high on the Great Wall.
The "worry about the frontier" here includes the worry about reality, the desire to make contributions, the pain of leaving home, and the infinite homesickness.
The frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are: vigorous, majestic, bold, romantic, solemn and stirring, magnificent and so on.
Frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty embody a kind of masculine beauty. On the one hand, frontier fortress poems show the cruelty of war and the harsh environment through exaggeration and contrast, such as "the life and death of soldiers in the first half of life", "Yellow sand fights through golden armor" and "a few surviving watchmen by the lonely wall at sunset". On the other hand, frontier poems highlight the great spiritual strength of people rushing out in the face of war. Among them are: unyielding will and confidence to win, the lofty sentiments of defending our country and our country, and the ambition of establishing fame on the battlefield. For example, "Don't break Loulan, don't return it"; "I am willing to be a sword under my waist, just to cut Loulan"; "Until the white sword is seen again, spattered with red blood, when death becomes a responsibility, who will stop to think about fame". These two aspects are both opposite and unified. The tension caused by the unity of opposites makes poetry have eternal charm, and the sense of sublimity in poetry has become the strongest voice of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
