Seven songs about joining the army
one
The bonfire is in the west of the city 100 feet, and it is windy and autumn in Shanghai at dusk.
Guan Shanyue, who plays Qiangdi, is not worried about the golden boy Wan Li.
Secondly,
The new sound of pipa dance is always the old love.
I can't listen to endless worries, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall.
third
The elm leaves in Guancheng are early yellow, and the ancient battlefield in Shayunli is dusk.
Please go back to the army to hide dust and bones, and don't teach soldiers to cry.
Fourth.
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan.
Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.
Fifth.
The desert is foggy, and the red flag is half rolled out of Yuanmen.
The former army fought in Taohe River overnight, and it was reported that Tuguhun was captured alive.
Sixth.
Hu bottle flows purple and thin sweat, and the autumn moon in the west of the city is broken.
Ming Xing Chi sealed the sword and told you to take Loulan overnight.
Seventh.
Yumen Mountain is a thousand miles long, and the mountain is always in the north and south.
People should look at the fire from a distance, but they can't see the horses in the mountains. ?

Overall appreciation
The first poem in the group is concise and meaningful, and its writing style is very distinctive. The poet skillfully handled the relationship between narration and lyricism. The first three sentences describe and describe the environment, creating an atmosphere by deepening and repeatedly rendering, paving the way for the fourth lyric sentence, highlighting the position of lyric sentences and making lyric sentences particularly powerful. "Firefighting in the West" suddenly pointed out that this was a lookout in the west of the bonfire city in Qinghai. Yuan Ye, which is desolate and lonely, has only this 100-foot tall building. This kind of environment can easily cause people's loneliness. The season is in autumn, and the chill invades people. This is the season when wanderers miss their loved ones and wives. Time meets dusk again. "Chickens live in the hustle and bustle, and it is dusk, and cattle and sheep come down." The gentleman is in service, don't think too much! "("The Book of Songs, Feng Wang, The Battle of Gentlemen ") This time often causes people to miss their loved ones who are serving. At this moment, the recruiter who has been absent for a long time is just sitting alone in the lonely garrison building. Heaven and earth are long, and there are no couples in prison. Homesickness rolls with the autumn wind blowing in the direction of Qinghai Lake. What is described above is the environment seen through vision. There is no sound and there is no three-dimensional sense. Then the poet wrote, "Play the Qiangdi Guan Shanyue more. "In a lonely environment, there came the flute, like the call of relatives and the sigh of a wanderer. This continuous flute sound, like a fuse, made the homesickness of frontier fortress people suppressed in their hearts uncontrollable, and finally broke out, which led to the last sentence of the poem. This wisp of flute sound is a scene for the piper who "sits alone" on the lonely building, but this scene is full of feelings expressed by the piper, which makes the environment more specific and richer in content. The poet used this sentence, which is also affectionate and scenic, to complete the transition from scenery to emotion without showing traces, which is very ingenious and natural.
The poet's brushwork is also euphemistic and tortuous in expressing the ideological activities of recruiting talents and talents. The environmental atmosphere was created, paving the way for lyricism, and then it came naturally, directly describing the psychology of the border people-"Wan Li has no sorrow". What the author wants to show is to invite people to miss their loved ones and the countryside, but he doesn't write directly, but through the sadness of Wan Li's boudoir wife. The same is true of the actual situation: the wife's unforgettable thoughts are the result of inviting people back to China and not returning. This song and pen completely combine the feelings of recruiting people and thinking about women. As far as the whole article is concerned, this sentence is the finishing touch, which immediately makes the whole poem full of charm and more touching power.
The second poem intercepts a fragment of the frontier fortress's military life, and expresses the deep and complicated feelings of the defenders by writing a military banquet.
"Pipa dances to make new sounds". With the change of dance, the pipa played a new tune, and poetry and painting unfolded in a piece of music. Pipa is a musical instrument full of frontier flavor, and "playing the barbarian pipa, guitar and harp with him" is often essential for drinking and having fun in the army. These instrumental music, for the defenders, have an exclusive emotional appeal and are easy to arouse strong feelings. Since it is a "new sound", it should give people some new interests and new feelings. However, "it's always old love." The main content of side music can be summarized as "old love". Because art reflects real life, no one has never left his hometown or even abandoned his young wife. "Bieqing" is really the most common and profound emotion and creative material. Therefore, the pipa can be changed to a new tune, but it cannot change the emotional content contained in the lyrics. An Interpretation of Yuefu Ancient Poems says: "Guan Shanyue" grieves for his death. In the sentence, "Guanshan" is not only a literal meaning, but also a pun on the tune of "Guan Shanyue", which has a deeper meaning. The "old" in this sentence corresponds to the "new" in the previous sentence, which has become a poetic turning point and produced a sound trend of resisting falling and rising, especially when "forever" is a powerful transfer, the effect is particularly obvious. The second sentence emphasizes the "old" of other feelings, but the music will not be too boring. "I can't listen to it when I'm upset." That tune can always disturb people's hearts. Therefore, the endless "endless" tunes really make people afraid to listen, and they are always emotional. This is another turning point in the poem, another cadence of voice and emotion. The word "endless" is meaningful, either complaining, sighing or praising. As an "endless" solution, it is naturally biased towards resentment. However, if you don't listen enough, it will include praise. Therefore, the "worry about the frontier" mentioned in this sentence is not only a long-lost defense and homesickness, but also has more meanings. At that time, the northern border was not removed, and it was still impossible to stop the soldiers. When you think about this, the defender will feel uneasy. Most of the predecessors only saw its "meaning and bitterness" side, which may not be very comprehensive.
The first three sentences of this poem are all about the lyric of music. When it comes to "border worries", the word "endless" is used, so how to finish the sentence in a limited number of seven words is the most obvious skill. The poet made a gentle gesture here in order to have sex with the scenery. It seems that after the scene of buying wine and drinking music in the army, a vast and desolate scene of the Great Wall reflecting the moon suddenly appeared: the ancient and majestic Great Wall was undulating, the autumn moon was shining high, and the scene was magnificent and sad. This can be understood from many aspects: infinite homesickness, ambition to build a frontier fortress, concern about reality, and perhaps deep love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and so on.
Readers may feel that the emotional trickle of the first three sentences has developed in twists and turns (new sounds-old feelings-inaudible) and has merged into a deep lake. "The bright moon shines on the Great Wall in the crisp autumn", where feelings leave the scene and poetry sublimates. It is precisely because of this inexhaustible feeling that the poet "thinks endlessly" and "seems to be detached from reality" that people feel such rich and profound thoughts and feelings, and the inner world of defenders can be vividly expressed. In addition to the twists and turns of voice and emotion, this poem is also a stroke that cannot be ignored.
The third poem describes the desolate scene of the ancient battlefield. Countless soldiers died at the border, but there was no way to bury them properly, which reflected the tragic war at that time and showed the poet's deep sympathy for the soldiers.
The beginning of the poem points out the place and season, vividly depicts the desolate scene of the border, and the second sentence implies that many soldiers died for their country in this battle. The last two sentences say that the general asked that the bones of the soldiers killed in the war be transported back for burial, which shows the general's love for the soldiers.
This poem is set in the vast wilderness battlefield, and frontier fortress scenes such as "yellow leaves" and "twilight clouds" further contrast the desolation of frontier fortress, giving people a sense of desolation and sadness. The last two sentences are sincere and painful, adding to the sadness. The whole poem is quite impressive to read. An army has such a compassionate and caring commander-in-chief, and they have no choice but to work hard. From this, it is conceivable that this army has strong combat effectiveness.
The first two sentences of the fourth poem mention three place names. Snow Mountain is Qilian Mountain in the south of Hexi Corridor. Qinghai and Yumenguan are thousands of miles apart, but they appear on the same picture, so these two sentences have various interpretations. Some people say that the first sentence is looking forward, and the next sentence is looking back at home. This is very strange. Qinghai and Snow Mountain are in front, and Yumenguan is behind, so the hometown that the lyric hero looks back at should be the Western Regions west of Yumenguan, not the Han soldiers, but Hu Bing. On the other hand, the second sentence is an inverted sentence of "Looking at Yumenguan, an isolated city", and the object of looking at it is "the dark snow mountain in Qinghai". There are two misunderstandings here: one is to interpret "looking from afar" as "looking from afar", and the other is to misunderstand the general description of the northwest border region as what the lyric hero sees. The former misunderstanding is due to the latter misunderstanding.
The first sentence and the second sentence are typical summaries of the vast area in the northwest border, which can be imagined as the picture of the vast area displayed for the second time: over Qinghai Lake, the clouds are long and warm; To the north of the lake, there are snow-capped mountains thousands of miles across the cotton pavilion; Crossing the snow-capped mountains, it is an isolated city, standing in the desert of Hexi Corridor. Further west, it is the Yumen Pass, a military fortress far away from the lonely city. This long scroll, which condensed things thousands of miles away, was a typical environment for soldiers living and fighting in the northwest frontier at that time. It is a bird's eye view and a summary of the entire northwest border. The reason why Qinghai and Guan Yu were specifically mentioned was related to the national war situation at that time. The strong enemies of the west and the north in the Tang Dynasty were Tubo and Turkic. Our special envoy's task in Hexi is to cut off the traffic between Tubo and Turkic, and take care of the two powerful enemies in the west and north within one town, mainly to defend Tubo and protect the Hexi Corridor. "Qinghai" area is the place where Tubo and Tang Jun fought many times; Outside Yumenguan, it is the sphere of influence of Turks. So these two sentences not only describe the scene of the whole northwest border, but also point out the extremely important geographical situation that the "isolated city" refuses Tubo in the west and defends Turks in the north. The strong enemies in these two directions are the heart of the soldiers guarding the "lonely city", so Qinghai and Guan Yu should appear on the screen. This is not so much what the soldiers see, but rather what emerges in their minds. These two sentences are permeated with rich and complex feelings while writing the scenery: the frontier soldiers' concern for the frontier situation, their pride and sense of responsibility for their tasks, and the loneliness and hardship of frontier life are all integrated in the tragic, open and misty scenery.
Three or four sentences changed from environmental description with scenes to direct lyricism. "Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles" is a poem with strong generalization. The length of the border defense, the frequency of wars, the hardship of fighting, the toughness of the enemy and the desolation of the border are all summed up in these seven words. Hundreds of battles is more abstract, and the word "yellow sand" highlights the characteristics of the northwest battlefield, making people see the scene of "the ancient battlefield with sunset and sand like clouds"; From "winning every battle" to "wearing golden armor", we can imagine the arduousness and fierceness of the battle, and we can also imagine a series of heroic sacrifices in this long time. However, although the shining golden armor has worn out, the soldiers' ambition to serve the country has not been tempered, but has become more determined in the tempering of desert sand. "Never break the Loulan, never return it" is the heroic oath of the battle-hardened soldiers. The more the last sentence highlights the difficulty of the battle and the frequency of the war, the more forceful it becomes, hitting the floor. In a word or two, the realm is broad and the feelings are tragic and rich; There is an obvious turning point between three or four sentences, and the two sentences are in sharp contrast. Although the phrase "yellow sand" describes the hardships of war, the actual feeling of the whole image is majestic and powerful, not deep and sad. Therefore, the last sentence is not a lament for returning home without a day, but a firmer and deeper oath based on a deep understanding of the hardships and length of the war. An important ideological feature of the excellent frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is that while expressing the lofty sentiments and ambitions of the frontier guards, they do not shy away from the hardships of war. This article is an obvious example. It can be said that three or four sentences are not empty and superficial lyricism, but only one or two sentences of rich environmental description are needed. The high unity of typical environment and characters' feelings is a prominent advantage of Wang Changling's quatrains, which is also clearly reflected in this paper.
The scene described in the fifth poem is similar to the scene of "Guan Yunchang chopping Hua Xiong with warm wine" in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "Warm wine to kill Hua Xiong" is a wonderful passage to shape Guan Yu's heroic image. But the book doesn't describe how Guan Yu, who was alone, confronted Hua Xiong, who led 50,000 troops. Instead, he used this passage: (Guan Yu) paid the bill, raised his knife and got on the horse. The vassals heard the drums outside the Commissioner deafening, shouting deafening, such as the sky were to fall, and all the people were surprised. He was about to listen when the Luan bell rang and the horse arrived in Zhong Jun. Yun Chang lifted Hua Xiong's head and threw it on the ground. The wine was still warm. This passage, pen and ink is very concise, from the atmosphere at that time and the reaction of governors, wrote Guan Yu's great power. On its objective artistic effect, it is more fascinating than writing dozens of rounds of sword fights. Luo Guanzhong's words are of course unique, but it is not his initiative to avoid positive narration and let people imagine the war scene through atmosphere rendering and profile description. The fifth part of Seven Songs of Joining the Army should be said to be a precedent and a success in poetic form.
Because Altai Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Kunlun Mountain in northwest China all run from west to east or southeast, a big trumpet mouth is formed in Hexi Corridor and eastern Qinghai, and the wind is extremely strong. The wind blows wildly, flying sand and stones. So "weak sun" followed by "desert dust" does not mean that it is getting late, but that the wind and sand cover the sky. But this not only shows the violent climate, but also appears as a background, which naturally plays a role in setting off and hinting at the military situation. In this case, Tang Jun didn't take the initiative to go out, but closed Yuanmen, passive defense. In order to reduce the strong resistance of the wind and speed up the March, the soldiers marched with half a roll of red flags. In Dust in the Desert, these two sentences have rendered a powerful force under the guidance of a red flag. It seems natural not to show off, but this army is like a sword, pointing directly at the enemy camp. This makes the reader's heartstrings tense and makes people feel that a fierce battle is coming. Readers will wonder: what kind of thrilling scene will this athlete who runs amok in the desert perform? In this suspense, read the last two sentences again: "The former army fought the Taohe River at night, but they were captured alive." This can be said to have fallen together. The reader's suspense was just followed by the army, and it was not their turn to show their talents on the battlefield. Just in the middle, the good news came that the vanguard troops won a great victory in the night battle and even the enemy chief was captured alive. The plot develops rapidly, which is a bit unexpected, but it is completely understandable, because the momentum of the army's expedition in the first two sentences has fully hinted at Tang Jun's morale and strength. This powerful reinforcements, not only set off the striker's victory is not accidental, but also can see that Tang Jun's strength is more than enough, and the victory is assured.
From the description, the poet chose the follow-up troops that did not directly fight with the enemy, but only brought out the brilliant "night battle of the former army" from the side. This is an unconventional idea. If we change the narrative of the midnight oil from the front, it will inevitably appear dull and cannot be completed with short quatrains. Now, by avoiding describing the war process in a positive way and comparing it from the side, the shortcomings of quatrains become advantages. It allows readers to imagine how hard and excellent the striker's battle is from "Dusty Desert" and "Taohe Night Battle". Appreciate how dramatic this expedition is from "It is reported that it was captured alive". A fierce battle is not written at the top of one's lungs, but with a light jumping pen, through side contrast and dyeing, let readers appreciate and daydream. All this, manifested in just four poems, is more difficult in conceiving and expelling language, which should be said to be even more difficult than the novel story of "warm wine to kill Hua Xiong".
The sixth poem describes a general who is eager to go to the border to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.
The first sentence of the poem describes the general's wartime costume and heroic spirit, and the second sentence is translated into the frontier fortress scene, which is intended to create and contrast the atmosphere, suggesting that the general is always thinking about the safety of the frontier fortress and is always ready to go to the frontier fortress to protect the environment and people. These two sentences focus on the general's clothing and the scenery in the border areas, which not only sets off the general's SHEN WOO posture, but also aims to gain momentum. Against the background of the vast and cold water and the autumn moon, the silhouette of a general in uniform looks majestic, and the image of a brave general is vividly outlined. The last two sentences of the poem are full of heroism, especially heroism. They not only show the rapid pace of the army attacking the city and pulling out the village, but also reflect the author's confidence and pride in the powerful national conditions and military strength of the Tang Dynasty.
The seventh poem mainly describes the frontier fortress landscape with mountains and bonfires. Hidden music with a pen has a shallow meaning and endless aftertaste.
The first three sentences of the poem describe that there are many mountains and beacon towers, and the border soldiers rely on beacon fire, which are static descriptions, highlighting the perfection and deployment of Tang Jun's border defense facilities in Yumenguan area. In the fourth sentence, a dynamic picture is introduced, and a horse breaks into the field of vision, but disappears into the forest in an instant. The combination of static and dynamic forms a kind of relaxed aesthetic feeling in narrative strength. And "Missing" accurately describes the horse's illness and the depth of the mountain. Although the horse can't be seen, it can still make people have endless associations, so that readers can vaguely feel the agility of border guards. This kind of ending is quite intriguing, as the author wrote when talking about how to deal with the ending sentence in poetry: "Every sentence should be reserved so as not to exhaust the language." The whole poem is abrupt at the beginning and tactfully at the end, but it is like a needle in cotton, which is quite interesting to read and worth pondering.
