Similarities and differences between Gao Shi's frontier poems and Cen Can's frontier poems

I. Similarities:

1, same experience

Gao and Cen have similar life experiences and both have real military life experiences. Therefore, in their poems, frontier life has been truly recorded.

At the age of twenty, Gao Shi went to Chang 'an, went north to Jimen and wandered in Zhao Yan. He wanted to seek the opportunity to serve the country in the frontier fortress, and lived a poor and wandering life for more than ten years during the Liang and Song Dynasties.

Cen Can Tianbao eight years, served as the secretary of the Gao Xianzhi shogunate, our ambassador to Anxi four towns, and went to Anxi for ten years, and returned to Chang 'an. In thirteen years, he was appointed as Judge Feng Changqing, our time envoy of Northwest Hospital of An 'an, and went to the frontier again. After the Anshi Rebellion, he stayed in Germany for two years before returning to North Korea.

Both Gao Shi and Cen Can had the experience of military life, which laid a solid foundation for their frontier poems. Their poems are full of heroic spirit of serving the country generously and the spirit of struggling despite difficulties. They learned about the psychology of recruiting people and the strange customs of frontier fortress in the lonely smoke in the desert and the sunset in the long river, which inspired their creative enthusiasm.

2. The creative style is very extensive.

Ancient style, modern style, regular poems and quatrains are all reflected in their creation. And they are especially good at seven-character ancient poems.

Second, the difference:

1, the content is different.

Gao Shi's poetic thought is profound and has strong practical significance. Cen Can's poems mainly describe the strange frontier scenery and different frontier life.

Gao Shi's frontier poems observe and analyze the present situation of frontier fortress from the perspective of politicians, and consider war, national security and people's sufferings and joys together, which is particularly profound. In the poem Ge Yanxing, through strong contrast, the dedication of our soldiers to defend the lonely city is written. What is more commendable is that Gao Shi observed and analyzed the situation in the frontier with an unusually calm mind.

Cen Can's frontier poems describe the frontier scenery, saying, "The north wind turns white grass, and eight In the snow crosses Tatar. Overnight, the spring breeze suddenly came and blew open the petals of 10 thousand pear trees. " . The north wind swept across the earth, breaking the white grass, and it snowed heavily in the sky in August in Saibei. The spring breeze seems to blow up overnight, and the trees are in full bloom like pear blossoms. It vividly depicts the snow scene in the border areas, full of exotic and romantic colors.

2. Different language styles

In terms of language style, Gao Shi's poems are vigorous, while Cen Can's poems are fantastic.

Gao Shi's language style is simple and plain. For example, "Not Big": "It is daytime in Huang Yun thousands of miles away, and the north wind blows geese and snow one after another. Mochow doesn't know the way forward, and no one in the world knows you. " Thousands of miles away in Huang Yun, the weather was gloomy, and the north wind sent away the geese, which caused heavy snow. Don't worry about having no friends ahead. Who in the world doesn't know you?

The language is simple, without deliberate modification. The first two sentences describe the farewell environment, and sad emotions naturally arise from the description. The last two sentences are farewell words of relief, which are very heroic. The language is simple, natural and tragic, with its own heavy feeling.

Although Cen Can's language style is also very clear and fluent, his painstaking efforts in refining Chinese characters are no less than Jia Dao's. For example, the words "Ran" and "Sword" in the sentences of "Going to Cui Shi for Royal Return" and "Steaming Sand and Clouds, Boiling Waves and Frying the Moon in Han Dynasty" highlight the fiery, magnificent and unpredictable Rehai with rich imagination. There are many examples like this, that is to say, Cen Can's poems are quite laborious in language tempering.

3. Different artistic skills

Gao Shi often speaks his mind and expresses reality; However, Cen Can's frontier poems often use exaggeration to express romantic feelings.

Gao Shi's poetry touches on profound social content, and its practical significance is stronger than Cen Can's poetry. His poems are often straightforward, with strong layout, less subtle and euphemistic description, and more dignified, deep and vigorous. The genre is more accustomed to the old-fashioned Yuefu topic and the neat five or seven words.

Cen Can takes magnificent romanticism as the main feature, formally expresses richer thoughts and feelings with free quatrains, describes the magnificent scenery of the frontier fortress, and uses imagination and exaggeration. The whole poem is vigorous in brushwork, with both casual and meticulous sketches, real imitation and romantic imagination, vivid in image and unique in artistic conception, which reproduces the magnificent natural scenery of the frontier fortress.
