1. "Farewell to the Ancient Grassland" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
When the grass grows in the original land, it dries up and flourishes every year. Wildfires never burn out, but spring breezes blow them again. The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city. I sent the king and grandson away again, full of love.
Definition: lush green grass in the wilderness. Once a year it withers and flourishes again. No matter how mercilessly the fire burns. As long as the spring breeze blows the next year, there will be green weeds everywhere again.
2. "Out of the Fortress" by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty
Outside the city of Juyan, people are hunting for geniuses, and the white grass is burning all over the sky. When the dusk clouds are empty and the moraine is clear, you can drive your horses. In autumn, it is easy to hide the eagles on the plains. The captain of the Qiang guarding the Qiang army took advantage of the obstacles and defeated the generals who crossed the Liao Dynasty at night. A jade target, a horn, a bow and a bead are used to rein in the horse, and the Han family will give him snow and prostitute Yao.
Interpretation: Outside Yancheng, barbarians were hunting, and white grass and fires were burning all over the sky. Horses gallop in the vast desert under dusk clouds, and the vast plains in autumn are perfect for shooting eagles.
Extended information:
Archaic poetry is a poetry genre. Judging from the number of words in poems, there are so-called four-character poems, five-character poems and seven-character poems. Four words are one sentence with four characters, five words are one sentence with five words, and seven words are one sentence with seven words. After the Tang Dynasty, it was called modern poetry, so it was usually divided into two categories: five-character and seven-character poetry. Five-character ancient poems are referred to as Wugu; seven-character ancient poems are referred to as Qigu, and those using both three, five, and seven characters are generally considered Qigu.
Five-character poetry refers to a poem with five characters in each sentence, and the entire poem is composed of five-character sentences. Five-character poems can accommodate more words, thus expanding the capacity of poetry and enabling more flexible and detailed lyricism and narrative. In terms of syllables, the odd and even matches are more musically beautiful. After the early Tang Dynasty, modern poetry emerged, including five-character rhymed poems and five-character quatrains.
Seven-character poems include seven-character ancient poems (referred to as Qigu), seven-character rhymed poems (referred to as Qilu) and seven-character quatrains (referred to as Qijue). A poem with seven characters in each sentence or mainly seven-character sentences. It originated from folk songs.
