Frontier poems of positive energy

Wang Zhihuan and Wang Changling were both very famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, and most of their poems were based on frontier poems. Both of them have made great achievements in China's poems, and their strength is neck and neck. As far as writing poetry is concerned, I personally think that Wang Changling's poems are slightly better than Wang Zhihuan's. They wrote many excellent frontier poems all their lives, all of which vividly described the hard life of the frontier soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and expressed their admiration for the frontier soldiers.

But because there are many kinds of poems, it is not easy to compare them directly. But both Wang Zhihuan and Wang Changling wrote poems about Yumenguan. You can compare their poems about Yumenguan and see who is better, but this only represents my personal opinion, not everyone.

Yumenguan, located in the northwest of China, has always been the frontier of China. Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci describes the vast landscape of Yumenguan;

"Two Liangzhou words. The first part "The Ring of Wang Tang The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and it is an isolated city, Wan Ren. Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing! In the first sentence, the Yellow River is far away from white clouds. He compared the whole Yumen Pass to the vast Yellow River, expressed the vastness of Yumen Pass from the side, an isolated city Wan Ren Mountain, and described the image of Yumen Pass as an isolated city. In the last two sentences, the homesickness of Yumenguan soldiers is vividly portrayed. Willow among willows, with the same sound as willow. The ancients often used folding willows to give gifts to each other to express the feelings of parting between friends. Wang Zhihuan expressed his reluctance to the soldiers in this way. This poem is very sad, full of soldiers' helplessness and complaints about defending the border.

Wang Changling also wrote a poem about Yumenguan, which is Wang Changling's Join the Army:

Join the army, don. Wang Changling Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city overlooking Yumenguan. Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned. Joining the Army and Liangzhou Ci both describe the desolation and vastness of Yumenguan and the hard life of soldiers, but Wang Changling's Joining the Army is superior because he does not express the helplessness and complaints of border guards, but expresses the great ambition of soldiers to defend their country. Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci is full of sad artistic conception, which makes people feel very sad, while Wang Changling's Join the Army is atmospheric. So I think Wang Changling's poems are better than Wang Zhihuan's.
