Appreciation. Appreciation.

Appreciation] Wang Changling's side poems, most of which are written proudly. In the early autumn, knowing the chirping in the mulberry forest, the reed leaves on Xiaoguan Road have withered, and people come and go frequently. During the harvest season, the rulers of the northern ethnic minorities often raid and plunder, causing tension in the situation.

But the athletes who live in Youzhou and Bingzhou have spent their lives in dust and battles in order to defend the country, and it is precisely because of them that the country is safe. Undoubtedly, the poet has a lot of respect for them. The sentence "has never been quiet and gentle, and they are all old in the dust", which speaks of the hard work of the athletes.

The whole poem is extremely written about the cold autumn and bleakness, the heroic patriotism of the rangers, the generosity and moving, and also criticizes the arrogant and indulgent side of some rangers.

Translated by Wang Changling:

Just stepped on the BMW with a white jade saddle to fight, and after the battle, only moonlight and cold were left on the battlefield.

The war drums at the head of the city are still echoing in the wilderness, and the blood stains on the treasure knives in the knife box have not yet dried.

Appreciation.

It depicts a thrilling scene just after the battle, and expresses the traditional martial spirit characterized by self-confidence, enterprising, and pioneering, with a robust and fresh style.

The horse is the best horse, and it has to be equipped with a beautiful white jade saddle bridge, you can imagine the majesty of the rider on this horse. This valiant knight fought on the battlefield with a "golden sword" (i.e., a golden sword). The knight was dressed in moonlight, braved the cold wind, and returned in a fierce battle.

But he was still immersed in the smoke and dust of the battlefield, and the sound of the drums still resounded in his ears. This knight with a lofty demeanor, brave and confident is the image of the Tang army general in the poet's mind, and it is also the spiritual portrayal of the poet's determination to resist the enemy and his desire to fight on the battlefield all the time.

The last two sentences "The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box is not dry" is a majestic cry issued by a staunch patriot from Geng Geng's red heart, and it also clearly embodies the poet's ardent hope.

The poet's description of the victory of the war is not in words, but in the composition of an atmosphere, and the sassy and heroic posture of the soldiers is written.

Original:

The horse newly crossed the white jade saddle, and the moonlight was cold on the battlefield.

The sound of iron drums at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried.

Background:

"Two Songs Out of the Stopper" was composed by Wang Changling when he went to the Western Regions in his early years. "Out of the Stopper" is an old title of Yuefu. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been many events at the border, the beacon fire has not been extinguished, and the soldiers have not returned for a long time.

The poet cared about border affairs, sympathized with the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and believed that the key problem in the border defense was that the generals were useless and could not resist the invading enemy. The second poem in "All Tang Poems" was also recorded under Li Bai's poems as "Military March".

After exiting the plug, the climate becomes colder, and the inside and outside of the pass are full of yellow and yellow reed grass. Since ancient times, the heroes of Hebei and Shanxi have been accompanied by dust and yellow sand to old age. Mo learned from the self-confident brave ranger, and boasted about the horse with his own self-esteem.

Appreciation: This Yuefu song is written for non-war. The poem was from the conquest of the border and could not return, but warned the young man not to boast of force and express his feelings of non-war. Cicadas chirp in the empty mulberry forest, August Xiaoguan Road.

Out of the plug and into the plug, everywhere yellow reed grass. These four sentences of Mo Sakura write the autumn scenery of the side plug, infinitely killing the sadness, the cold cicada, the mulberry forest, the Xiao Guan, the side plug, and the autumn grass are all synonymous with pathos in the ancient poetry imagery of Zhongwei, and the poem deliberately describes the autumn scene of the slaughter at the beginning of the poem as a background and emotional foreshadowing for the later anti-war theme. Writing about the border to recruit people, sending deep sympathy.

It has never been a quiet guest, all of them are old in the dust, and Wang Han's drunken and lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, and a few people returned to fight in ancient times, which can be described as seen by heroes, and it is the same and touching. Youzhou and Bingzhou were both border places in the Tang Dynasty, and they were also places where many scholars only took fame and fame from the horse, and would rather be centurion than a scholar. However, what the poet sees from these ambitious young people is the helpless end of "all the old people who are in the dust."

The last two sentences, ending with contrast, profoundly express the author's disgust for war and his yearning for a peaceful life through the irony of the so-called rangers who are brave and brave, showing off their good deeds and galloping, wandering with their might, and even causing trouble and disturbing the people. When talking about the secluded guests earlier, the author still demolished them without any derogatory meaning, and there was a faint sense of regret for the dedication of the heroes on the battlefield. The use of the word "ranger" to describe the scoundrels who only boast of having good horses gives the author a deeper expression of his anti-war sentiments.

This poem is written about the autumn scenery of Biansai, with the generous and sad Jian'an rhyme; wrote about the border recruitment, and there was the grievance of Han Yuefu to express his heart; satirizes the market rangers, and makes people see the exaggerated atmosphere of the brocade-clothed boy in the Tang Dynasty.
