Note
Send to the frontier fortress: Be ordered to send to the frontier fortress. Send: to send an envoy.
Bicycle: One car, with few vehicles. Here, it is described as getting good and simple. Ask the frontier: to visit the frontier fortress means to express condolences to the officers and men guarding the frontier.
Belonging to the country: There are several explanations: one refers to the minority people who are attached to the Han court and keep their country names. There were some vassals in Han and Tang dynasties. The second refers to the official name. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was an official position called Caiguo, which was granted to Su Wu after he returned to Han Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty sometimes refer to the "vassal state" as an envoy to the frontier. Juyan: Place name, called Juyanze in Han Dynasty, Juyanhai in Tang Dynasty, in the northern border of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia today. There is Juyan County in Zhangye County of the Western Han Dynasty (refer to Geography of Hanshu), so the old city is in the southeast of Ejina Banner today. In addition, the secretariat of Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty had Zhangye Juyan as a vassal state, and its jurisdiction was in Juyanze area. This sentence generally says that Wang Wei passed by Juyan. However, Wang Wei's mission did not actually need to go through Juyan. Therefore, Lin Geng and Feng Yuanjun's Selected Poems and Songs of the Past Dynasties in China think that this sentence is written in the Tang Dynasty, "the frontier fortress is vast, and the vassal countries are beyond Juyan".
