Appreciation is easy
This is an impassioned war song, which shows the high fighting spirit and optimistic spirit of Qin's military and civilian unity and mutual assistance, and its unique and vigorous style is a reflection of Qin's patriotism. The whole poem consists of three chapters, in the form of repeated singing, describing the heroic spirit of the soldiers who put the overall situation first and kept in line with the Zhou royal family when they went to the front to kill the enemy in Enemy at the Gates.
At that time, Qin was located in eastern Gansu and Shaanxi. Wood is deep and soil is thick, but people are thick and straight. Ban Gu said in "Biography of Guo Chong and Xin Qingji" that Qin "learned folk customs, prepared for war, fought bravely, and rode and shot pommel horses. Therefore, Qin Shihuang said,' Wang Yu started his career, practiced my armor, and walked with his son'. Its style and customs have existed since ancient times, and today's songs are still generous and romantic. "。
