First, express the pride of the soldiers who killed the enemy and served the country.
For example, Wang Changling's "Join the Army", "The clouds in Qinghai are long and the snow-capped mountains are dark, and the lonely city looks at Yumenguan. The yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and the loulan is not returned. " Through the description of lonely, hard and miserable war life, we can express our lofty aspirations to defend the frontier and territory. Li Yi's "Xia Sai Song" "Zhou Fan tribe can be carried, chasing the Yellow River song day and night. Yan Ge didn't break the plug, and the horses were green. " Take advantage of the magnificent scene of the frontier fortress people cheering the horses and praising the soldiers' impassioned spirit of serving the country and their belief in winning.
Second, the theme of parting from relatives and homesickness.
For example, Cen Can's "Work in the lent", "From the west to the sky, I left home twice to see the moon." I don't know where to stay tonight, and Pingsha Wan Li is deserted. "Walking in the desert where there is nowhere to stay evokes the author's homesickness." The topic "Alfalfa Peak is Home" "When the Alfalfa Peak meets beginning of spring, there are tears on Hulu River. I just have empty thoughts in the boudoir, and I can't see the battlefield and worry about killing people. "Reflect people's homesickness by missing their families.
Third, describe the scene of defending the war, expose the contradiction between officers and men, and express the anti-war theme.
"Every Sick Soldier" by Lu Lun "There are many sick people who have no food to live, and Wan Li has not returned to his hometown. Under the ancient city, golden sores are unbearable. " The image of a veteran who is hungry, cold, tired, sick and injured accuses the people of the pain caused by the border expansion war. Wang Changling's Out of the Great Wall (Qin and Han Pass) embodies the poet's expectation of a good general and his ridicule of an incompetent frontier general. Wang Wei's "old generals" and "leading stars" reflect the injustice of generals' meritorious service.
Fourth, describe the wonders of frontier fortress and the living conditions of frontier people.
Frontier poets often express their feelings, describe characters and describe boundless frontier customs with rough brushstrokes and strong colors.
