Wang Changling
Drinking horses for autumn waters, the stream is cold and the wind like a sword.
as we watch against the sunset on the sandy plain, far, far away, shadowy Lintao.
old battles, waged by those long walls, once were proud on all men's tongues.
but antiquity now is a yellow dust, confusing in the grasses its ruins and white bones!
Appreciation of this poem expresses the poet's anti-war sentiment. Beyond the desolate Great Wall, the bones of soldiers scattered in Artemisia are shocking, and the poet's infinite sympathy for the soldiers who fought in the war is entrusted.
? The characteristic of this poem in conception is to express the theme with profile description. The poem does not specifically describe the war, but expresses the poet's views on the war through the description of the scenery beyond the Great Wall and the relics of the past war. The first four sentences are from what the sergeant saw and felt when drinking horses and crossing the river, depicting the bleak and bitter cold scene outside the Great Wall. The poet chose the time of description in late autumn dusk, which is more conducive to expressing what he wrote. When writing about bitter cold, only water and wind, which can best express the environmental characteristics, are chosen. The pen and ink are concise and can receive good artistic effects. The "horse drinker" in the first sentence is the sergeant. The "water" in the poem refers to Taoshui, and Lintao City is on the bank of Taoshui. "Drinking a horse" must lead the horse into the water, so it feels like "Shui Han", which seems to be casual, but in fact it is ingenious. In the Central Plains or the south of the Central Plains, the autumn wind only makes people feel cool, but the autumn wind beyond the Great Wall is already "like a knife". It shows that the wind is not only fierce, but also cold, and the regional characteristics are vividly described with only a cross. Write three or four sentences about the distant sight of Lintao. "Pingsha" is called the land of desert. Lintao, an ancient county name, was named after Lintao Water, the county seat. That is, Min County in the east of Gansu Province today is the starting point of the Great Wall, and the Tang Dynasty was the seat of Minzhou, Longyou Road, where wars often occurred. Twilight is boundless, the vast desert can't be seen, a golden sunset hangs on the horizon, and Lintao City is hidden in the twilight from a distance. The realm is vast and magnificent.
Lintao area is a battlefield frequently fought in past dynasties. According to the old and new biographies of Wang Yun in the Tang Dynasty and Biography of Tubo, in October of the lunar calendar in 714 (the second year of Kaiyuan), Tubo arrived in Taotao with 1, soldiers, and Wang Yun, the general manager of the North Army, and Xue Ne, the general who took the right feather forest, refused, and defeated Tubo successively at Dalaigukou, Wujie and the eldest son, killing them before and after. The "Great Wall War" in the poem refers to this war. "old battles, waged by those long walls, once were proud on all men's tongues", this is what everyone says. In this regard, the poet does not directly refute or comment from the front, but answers with the scenery and war relics here: "but antiquity now is a yellow dust, confusing in the grasses its ruins and white bones." "Foot" means full. "Bones" are the bones of the dead. "Modern and ancient" runs through two sentences, including the upper and lower sentences; It not only refers to all ages, but also includes four seasons, every month and every day. That is to say, in the desert area of Lintao, yellow dust permeates all the year round, and the bones of the war dead are littered among the wormwood, from ancient times to the present. The "white bones" here include the soldiers who died in the "Great Wall War" in the second year of Kaiyuan, and the soldiers who died before. There is not a word here, but it reveals the cruelty of war extremely profoundly. Here is discussion and reasoning, but this kind of discussion and reasoning is completely expressed in vivid images, so it has more shocking power and extremely ingenious techniques.
This poem focuses on the hardships of military life and the cruelty of war, which contains the poet's opposition to the militaristic war.
