Creative background:
The works created by Wang Changling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, describe the frontier fortress scenery and express the author's anti-war thoughts. Starting from the bleak environment, it embodies the hardships of military life and the cruelty of war, and contains the poet's opposition to war.
It describes the whole process of a battle, fully reveals the cruelty of the war and expresses deep sympathy for ordinary soldiers guarding the border. Writing a scene in which a general was buried after he died in the war reveals the author's injustice to the meritorious soldiers in the court and his criticism of years of fighting.
