Appreciation of the original text of Cao Zhi's "White Horse Pieces", expressing the country * * *

The White Horse

The white horse is decorated with golden charms, flying in the northwest. Excuse me, who's family? You're a ranger.

if you are young, go to the township and raise your voice to the desert. I have a good bow in the past, but my arrow is uneven.

if the string is controlled to break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch. Raise your hand to catch the fly, and bend over to spread the horseshoe.

cleverer than monkeys, braver than leopards. There are many police in the border town, and the number of soldiers and riders has moved.

Badminton comes from the north, and the horse climbs the embankment. Long drive to the Huns, Zuo Gu Ling Xianbei.

how can you live if you give up your life? Parents don't care, how can they talk about their children and their wives!

a famous man is a strong man, and he must not be selfish. Give your life to the national disaster, and feel like you are dying!

Cao Zhi

Author brief introduction

Cao Zhi (192—232), born in Zijian, Pei Guoqiao (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). Cao Wei, a famous writer in the Three Kingdoms, was a representative of Jian 'an literature. The son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wudi of Wei Dynasty, and the brother of Cao Pi, Emperor Wendi of Wei Dynasty, used to be King Chen before his death. After his death, posthumous title "thought", so he was also called King Chen Si. Later generations called him "Three Caos" together with Cao Cao and Cao Pi because of his literary attainments. Xie Lingyun, a writer in the Southern Song Dynasty, commented that "there is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight fights".

explanation

This poem was written in the early stage of Cao Zhi, that is, before Cao Pi was made a prince and then succeeded to the throne. During this period, Cao Zhi had great political ambitions and had not experienced attack and persecution, so his works at this stage were mainly impassioned, "arrogant" and "talented".

The period from Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, to the early years of Huang Dynasty in Wei Wendi was a golden age in the history of China's poetry. Thanks to the advocacy of Cao Shi and his son, the realistic spirit of "feeling sorrow and happiness, arising from events" in Han Yuefu poems has been inherited and carried forward. A group of poets who have been separated from each other, witnessed hardships and are willing to face up to reality, not only put the social truth into the bottom of the pen, but also injected their true feelings. "White Horse Piece" created the image of a white horse hero who is skilled in martial arts and loyal to serving the country, and expressed his ideal ambition of making contributions to the country.

Comment

In this poem, Cao Zhi depicts the image of a young ranger with superb martial arts, who is eager to make contributions to his country even at the expense of his life, so as to express his patriotism. The style of poetry is bold, the atmosphere is warm and the language is exquisite, which can be called both emotional appeal and victory.

at the beginning of the poem, the picture of "Lianpian galloping northwest" vividly conveys a spirit of going forward. Next, I wrote the dashing and heroic spirit and superb martial arts of "Wandering with You", and there was a stirring and sonorous emotion between pen and ink.

The poet not only wrote the heroic behavior of the white horse boy with the style of * * *, but also revealed the patriotic spirit of the characters with exquisite language. The last few words of the poem tell the ideological background and heroic feelings of the white horse boy, with a sad and strong voice and a deep and far-reaching tone, which has the lingering charm of Yi Shui's sad song.
