The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook.
Don't be a golden brain, go and step on the clear autumn.
Precautions:
1 Desert: Desert.
② Yanshan Mountain Range: Yanran Mountain, that is, the present Mongolian people and Hang 'ai Mountain in China. The desert and Yanshan Mountain were both places where the frontier fortress fought at that time, and they were excellent places for good horses and heroes.
③ When: When.
④ Collateral brain: Collateral brain, head and rein. Taking gold as the winding head shows the owner's love and attention to the horse.
⑤ Clear autumn: autumn with fresh air.
Translation 1:
The vast desert is covered with frost and snow in the moonlight, and a crescent moon hangs over Yanshan like a silver hook. When can I ride on the autumn battlefield with gold ornaments?
Translation 2:
In the desert, the dust and sand are like snow, and the crescent moon is like a hook hanging on Yanshan Mountain. When can I ride a fast horse and enjoy myself in the clear autumn?
Make an appreciative comment
This song takes a horse as a metaphor, expressing his ambition, expressing the poet's talent, hoping to bring a golden head with a good horse for reuse, and his desire to show his skills-the vast desert is as white as snow, and the Yanshan crescent moon is as crooked as a hook. This kind of frontier fighting is an excellent place for a good horse to make a hero; However, when can the horse be loaded with a golden brain and gallop on the land of clear autumn? Lively language and healthy writing style. A word "step" seems to hear the sound of horseshoes, and it seems to see the majestic posture of galloping horses, giving people a three-dimensional sense. Four poems, the first two are about scenery, and the last two are about lyric. The scenery is not true, but love is true; The contrast of the scenes clearly expresses the poet's strong feelings of making contributions to the battlefield.
The first and second sentences show the unique frontier battlefield scenery, just like Fu: On the continuous Yanshan Mountains, a bright moon is in the sky; Wan Li in Pingsha looks like a layer of white frost and snow in the moonlight. This ordinary person may only feel sad and cold battlefield scene, which has unusual attraction for those who are determined to serve the country. "Yanshan Moon is like a hook" and "Xiao Yue hangs a jade bow as a curtain" (The Old Carver in Nanyuan) have the same effect. "Hook" is a machete, both of which belong to "Jade Bow". From the bright crescent moon, it is associated with the image of a weapon, which means thinking about fighting. When the author lived in Zhenyuan (785 -805) and Yuanhe (806 -820), it was the era when the buffer region was extremely domineering, and the area around Jimen in Youzhou implied by "Yanshan Mountain" was the longest-lasting and hardest-hit area in the buffer region, so the poetry was still realistic. Thinking about war is also targeted. Sha Xue's flat battlefield is chilly, but it is a place where heroes can play. Therefore, these two sentences are actually the lyricism of the last two sentences, which has a rising significance.
The poet expressed his feelings for the horse in three or four sentences: "When can I put on my mighty saddle and gallop on the battlefield in the crisp autumn?" "Ma Shi Long Ji Tie Lian Qian" said: "The dragon's back is tied with money, and the silver hoof is covered with smoke. No one tapestry, who is the golden whip? " Among them are the sighs of "Nobody Brocade" and "Why should I be a good horse". To express the same meaning is to hope that a good horse can be used as a good horse. "Golden brain", "brocade" and "golden whip" all belong to precious saddles, symbolizing the importance of horses. This is the cry of the author who is eager to make achievements but is not appreciated.

This horse is extraordinary, and the house star is the star.
Tap the fine bone forward, and it will bring its own copper sound.

It looks skinny, but if you knock on its skinny bones, it seems that you can still hear the clank of copper.

The first sentence comes straight to the point, telling the truth, affirming and emphasizing that the poem shows an exceptionally good horse. The sentence is straight, and there is really not much poetry.
The second sentence "the room star is the star" seems to repeat the meaning of the first sentence at first glance. "Fangxing" refers to a horse, which means that Fangxing is the star in the sky, which means that this horse is not a vulgar thing. If the meaning of this sentence is limited to this, it is almost exactly the same as the first sentence, then it is a mistake to repeat it. There are only four sentences in the poem. If the first sentence is plain and the second sentence is repeated, then half of the poem is plain and worthless. However, if you chew it carefully, you will find that the second sentence is unique, only deliberately obscure and tortuous. There is a passage in the Book of Jin Tian: "The four stars in the room, also known as Tianma, are the main drivers. Fang Xingming is the king. " It directly links "Gongxing" and "Wang", that is to say, the situation of horses is closely related to the light and shade of the king and the chaos control of the country. Since the quality of the horse is good or bad, it goes without saying that the king is nameless and ignores political affairs. This is a kind of "infiltration method", through twists and turns, its practical meaning far exceeds the literal meaning.
Write three or four sentences about the shape and quality of horses. If the first two sentences are mainly based on judgment and reasoning, lacking vivid images, then the last two sentences are just the opposite, vivid and expressive, and express their ideas completely with images and expressions. Li He writes poems and is good at capturing images. These two sentences are outstanding examples. The writing of "skinny" shows the situation of horses; "Copper tone" describes quality and reflects the quality of horses. The thin horse indicates that the situation is not good. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a tired ordinary horse. Only those who really love horses and are good at watching them will not regard them as ordinary horses. "Knock thin bones forward and bring your own copper sound." Although the situation is not good and it has been tossed, there is still a copper sound. The word "copper tone" is rich and dignified, with a three-dimensional sense. It also contains many meanings: the music of copper shows the Excellence of musical instruments, vividly shows the strength and excellent quality of horses, and makes the inner things appear as audible, visible, sensible and knowable objects. "Quality" is abstract, and "sound" is elusive. It's all "empty" things. It's really not easy to write empty words. We should turn them into reality. The poet only used five words to do it, and the visualization technique can be said to have reached the level of perfection. What is particularly commendable is that poetry creates a profound artistic conception of the relationship between things and me through the description of horses. The poet's talent is unsatisfied and his situation is bleak, just like this thin horse. When he writes about horses, he just expresses his pent-up resentment gracefully.

Li He's Poems on Horses consists of twenty-three poems, which eulogize, praise or lament the fate of horses to show the heterogeneity of genius, lofty aspirations and the feelings and resentment of people with lofty aspirations. This is the second song. In this poem, the steed has no grass to eat in the cold winter, and when he is hungry, he can only look for grass roots in the snow-covered soil. At this time, even the grass roots have become sweet, even if it meets the thorny thistle, it will eat it. This poem shows the poor and difficult experience and unyielding character of people with lofty ideals.
