Poetry appreciation

When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Prince Dan led all the guests to give him a strong trip at the edge of Yishui, which Jing Ke did at that time. This sentence first paints the scenery in ink, writes about the wind howling and the cold water, and renders a tragic and desolate atmosphere. The latter sentence writes Jing Ke's determination to die, knowing that he will never return, but he still has no hesitation and resolutely goes to death.

Xiao Xiao "aurally renders a sense of desolation and gloom; The word "cold" writes the bone-chilling environment, and the cold and terrible premonition of death. is so bleak, so thorough, but it also highlights Jing Ke's resolute posture of going to death. The feeling of "the soldier dies for the confidant" is still buried deep in people's blood, and the strong man in the cold wind of independence belongs to everyone.
