"Guo Feng·Bei Feng·Drumming" is a typical war poem in "The Book of Songs". It is a folk song of the Chinese people in Bei during the pre-Qin period. The whole poem has five chapters, each chapter has four sentences. The first three chapters of the soldiers' self-narratives of the expedition are so dense that they feel like resentment, admiration, and weeping. The last two chapters describe the mutual encouragement, life, and death between the soldiers, which is touching. This poem describes the sorrow of the soldiers during the long battle. Among them, "The bond between life and death is broad, and the child is born. Holding the hand of the child, and growing old together with the child", which describes the relationship between soldiers, was also used to describe the deep love between husband and wife in later generations. The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in the history of Chinese literature. It had a profound impact on the development of poetry in later generations and became the source of the realist tradition of classical literature.
The poet reveals his departure from the mainstream consciousness and vents his resistance to the war. In the perspective of the true nature of human war, the work calls for respect for the concrete existence of individual life and the acquisition of happiness in the details of life. This kind of true and simple singing from the depths of the soul is the most humanistic interpretation of human existence and a high standard of humanity set by the ancestors for later generations of literary works.
