The first part of the three chapters, in the form of complex sentences, repeatedly expresses the sad mood after a long separation from other places. The first sentence of these three chapters is "receiving the EU", which leads to the following. At the beginning of this poem, readers see the bleak scene of frontier life. We seem to see the defenders collecting wild vegetables on the hillside of the wilderness, missing their hometown after a long separation, and counting the date of going home ... The first two sentences of the first chapter are: "Pick the rose and the rose will stop." This is about spring, and the green buds of Osmunda japonica have just bloomed; The second chapter reads: "picking Wei, Wei is also gentle", and it is written that in summer, the leaves of Wei Cai are fat and tender; The third chapter is: "Picking roses is just finished", which means that in autumn, the leaves and stems of Osmunda japonica will be old and hard. From spring to autumn, Osmunda japonica is tender and old, and time passes mercilessly; The soldiers are thinking about going home. From spring to autumn, a year will pass. When can I go home? In fact, in the poem, the poet originally regarded the sudden changes of the four seasons of heaven and earth and the ups and downs of natural creatures as the witness and contrast of life. Therefore, xing is the simplest and most direct feeling that nature gives people, which has profound significance in understanding life. Therefore, in the posture of picking Wei, which is solidified in the memory of the guards, what we see is not only the cycle of the four seasons, the passage of time, but also the growth of missing and the trace of old life.
The first three chapters are intertwined with personal homesickness and the sense of responsibility for going to disaster for the country, which are two contradictory and equally true thoughts and feelings. This combination of heroism and sadness constitutes the emotional tone of the whole poem, but personal homesickness and sense of responsibility for fighting have different manifestations in different chapters.
