This poem comes from Xuanwumen written by Li Yi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi was a famous poet, writer and politician in Tang Dynasty. His poems are famous for their boldness and profound artistic conception. Xuanwumen is a long narrative poem reflecting the historical events of "An Shi Rebellion" in the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, some of which describe ancient and gorgeous weapons on the battlefield.
This poem is a part of it. This poem expresses the complex relationship between war and the inheritance of civilization with the description of literature and symbols, and reflects the pain and disaster of the people during the "An Shi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty.
Split point analysis:
1, background and situation
The background of Xuanwumen was the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty, when bureaucratic corruption, land annexation, people's livelihood hardship, local separatism, national turmoil and wars continued. This poem describes the scene on the battlefield, suggesting that although the war was raging at that time, the cultural tradition represented by history and weapons did not dissipate.
2, the symbolic meaning of the sword
Sword plays an important role in China traditional culture. It is not only a weapon in war, but also a symbol of culture, spirit and morality. Blade represents not only shock and danger, but also the symbolic meaning of precision, sharpness, invulnerability and strength. So the "old sword" in this poem not only represents a weapon in the war, but also represents the inheritance of China's culture and moral spirit.
3. The image of cold light
The "cold light" in this poem refers to the extremely lethal cold light reflected by weapons in the sun. The cold light became an image, vividly depicting the cruelty and destructive power of the war, and also conveying the author's hatred and lament for the war.
4. Historical comparison
In this poem, the contrast between "old sword" and "that year" repeatedly emphasizes the inheritance of war and history, and also implies the precipitation and eternity of history. In the war, people are still addicted to weapons and history, and they never stop regretting the inheritance and development of human civilization.
