This is a folk song sung by Chileans, translated from Xianbei into Chinese. It praises the scenery of grassland and the life of nomadic people. At the foot of Yinshan Mountain is the vast plain of Chile. The sky is like a huge tent, covering the whole of Yuan Ye. The blue sky is endless and the green fields are endless.
A gust of wind blew and the grass hung low, revealing flocks of cattle and sheep grazing. Song of Chile depicts a panoramic view of the grassland with rich water plants and fat cattle and sheep, and shows the uninhibited character and rich and happy scene of nomadic people.
Historical background
This poem, which is well known to all women and children, is magnificent and bold, depicting the endless sky on the endless prairie. However, everyone only knows that it is a Yuefu folk song in the Northern Dynasties, but they don't know that this poem was born in a bloody war.
Gao Huan, a powerful minister in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was originally from Hebei and was a Xianbei Han Chinese. In the fourth year of Wuding (546), the autumn was crisp. Gao Huan, who was over 50 years old, led 654.38+ ten thousand troops to attack Yubi City in the Western Wei Dynasty, which opened the fifth war between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties-the Yubi War.
There are only a few thousand soldiers in Yubi City. Gao Huan's 100,000 troops attacked the city day and night. However, under the command of Wei Xiaokuan, the garrison commander of Yubi even rejected the enemy soldiers. Gao Huan could not attack for a long time, but was unwilling to abandon it. He couldn't help sitting in the camp, frowning. However, in order to stabilize the morale and boost morale, he still held a banquet for all the soldiers. At the banquet, Gao Huan ordered General Hu Lvjin to sing and dance, draw his sword out of its sheath, and drunk and sing Chilechuan.
I heard the magnificent and tragic Chilechuan hovering in the tent, and the wind outside the tent was rustling wildly. Gao Huan was sad for a moment and could not help crying. It is said that Gao Huan besieged Yubi for 50 days and tried his best, but it didn't work. Foot soldiers were killed and injured. He was exhausted and worried, and his old illness recurred and he had to quit. This war made Wei Xiaokuan, a famous minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, famous, and Gao Huan suffered a crushing defeat. He soon died after withdrawing troops.
