Interpretation of Wang Zhihuan's Ancient Poems

original text

out of stuck

Author: Wang Zhihuan

The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain.

Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing!

Precautions:

1, Wan Ren: It is eight feet high. Wan Ren means to describe high mountains.

2. Qiang flute: a wind instrument made by Qiang people in the western regions, with two holes.

3, willow: refers to "folding willow songs", which is a sad tune.

4. Yumenguan: Guanming, located in the southwest of Dunhuang County, Gansu Province, is the main road leading to the western regions in ancient times.

Rhyme translation:

The Yellow River originates from the Loess Plateau and among the white clouds.

An isolated city stands in Mobei, with its back to the mountains of Wan Ren.

If you don't complain, your brother will play a sad song and break the willow.

Who doesn't know, the spring breeze has never passed through Yumen Pass.

Comments:

This poem aims to write about Liangzhou, which is surrounded by dangers and difficult to defend. The first sentence of the poem is about the flowing Yellow River, which originated from the clouds.

End, highlighting its long history, showing the vast and magnificent border scenery. Liangzhou city is bordered by traffic, and the location is dangerous.

Yes, this field is lonely and dangerous. "Pian" is a common word in Tang poetry, which is usually associated with "loneliness" (such as "a lonely cloud",

"Alone sail", etc.), here means "one". Pass three sentences, write and listen. Qiangdi plays "Zheyang"

The tune of willow aroused her husband's sadness. In the Tang dynasty, there was a custom of breaking the willow to bid farewell, so I saw Liu sad and even listened.

The song "Folding Willow" aroused disgust. Commissioner of the spring breeze, willow is not green, can't fold willow to send affection, hear QuGengSheng resentment way:

Freezing in the cold, fighting indefinitely, and going home is hopeless. However, "resentment" and sadness are all in vain.

However, the result is "why complain". This generous explanation is really euphemistic, profound, implicit and thought-provoking, and it deserves to be called a frontier fortress.

Poetry. Farewell.
