First, the focus of the content theme is different
Gao Shishan observed and analyzed the present situation of frontier fortress with a politician's keen eye, linked war with national security and people's sufferings and joys, boldly expressed his personal political views on frontier defense, and mercilessly exposed all kinds of deep-seated social contradictions he heard and saw. "Chief Tatar's hunting fire sparkled on the Wolf Mountain" and "But soon the barbarian's horse ran wildly in the wind and rain" pointed out the essence of war-ethnic contradictions; "Until the white sword is seen again, it is full of red blood. When death becomes a duty, who stops to think about fame", telling the soldiers to go to the disaster generously and kill the enemy to serve the country for a long time; "Still in this southern city, the young wives are heartbroken, while the soldiers on the northern border are looking for their homes in vain", writing that the husband is homesick and his wife is heartbroken and cannot return for a long time; Half of us were killed at the front, but the other half were still alive. Beautiful girls danced and sang for them in the camp, telling ordinary soldiers that they were suffering from unbalanced happiness. "Bite the hand that feeds you" on the arrogance and luxury of the defeated former commander-in-chief; Today we named Li, a great general who lived a long time ago, "expressing the poet's wish to be a good general to defend the city and expressing sympathy for the soldiers." These poems show the poet's deep thinking about war from many angles, which greatly enriches and broadens the theme and content of frontier fortress poems.
Cen Can described the harsh environment of the frontier fortress with a magnificent and colorful pen: "Until dusk, the snow crushed our tent, and our red flag could not fly in the wind." "The north wind rolled the white grass and blew them. Eight In the snow crossed the Tatar sky. Just like the spring wind, it blows at night and blows open the petals of 10 thousand pear trees. " It embodies the heroic spirit of the border guards who are brave in difficulties and make contributions. "Then he disappeared at the corner, leaving only hoofprint." When the road reached the peak, his friend had gone away and the poet was still watching affectionately. This touching and sincere friendship has left readers room for imagination and aesthetics. When the poet wrote the garrison poems, he broke through the traditional mode of cold and foot soldiers' hard work and showed optimism.
Second, the emphasis of artistic expression is different.
Gao Shi's poems are tragic and profound, simple and realistic, showing strong realism, and often combined with contrast, contrast and narrative. "The life and death of the first half of the warrior army is uncertain, and there are still beautiful girls dancing and singing for them in the camp. Until the white sword is seen again, spattered with red blood, when death becomes a responsibility, who will stop to think about fame? But it's General Li who heard about the battle in the desert today! " Narrating war scenes in poetic language has strong subjective emotional language and realistic techniques, as well as argumentative subjective views and feelings, with prominent theme images and more rational works.
Cen Can likes metaphor and exaggeration. His language is novel and free, and he pays attention to the description of scenery, showing a strong romantic color. "Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night and blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees." The north wind is snowing. Killing the strange cold, with strange imagination and exaggerated techniques, depicts a unique scene that people rarely see, so as to render the sinister environment and contrast the soldiers' deep feelings of loving the frontier and their confidence in winning. His poems are full of vivid description and romantic imagination, and have strong artistic appeal.
