The first four sentences of Qu Yuan's "National Mourning" say that soldiers are indomitable, chariots meet the enemy, and hand-to-hand combat, much like a battle song fighting on the battlefield. But the whole poem is just a song to pay homage to the fallen soldiers who died for their country, and then there is the tragic scene of defeat, "Kill all the soldiers and abandon vilen" and "My soul is a ghost hero". During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao ordered Miao to write propaganda songs, so there were twelve songs of Wei Xuange, such as Fighting Xingyang, Attacking Lu Bu, Keguandu, Dingwu and Tuliucheng. Wu invited to give a lecture, so there were twelve songs of Wu's lecture, such as Master Nuowu, Cutting Wulin, Vanke City and Tongjingmen. Some people call it "hard words and firm sentences, swept away, quite a bit of the momentum of the Long March song group." However, these are post-war narratives, not wartime military songs. Take Lu Bu alive, for example, and praise Cao Cao for leading an army to March eastward to the Huaihe River, and capture Lu Bu alive: "Take Lu Bu alive and slaughter Chen Gong. Whales and giant salamanders drive wolves. Including the world, is in your palm. " For example, in "Ke Guandu", Cao Jun was sung to win more with less, and Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle of Guandu: "Ke Guandu is less, with a white horse. Zombie bleeding by vilen. Thieves are like dogs and sheep, and Wang Shi is still rare. The wind is flying by the sand ridge. The battle was unfavorable and the foot soldiers were injured. If you can't win today, what can you expect? Tushan tunnel, not when. A single victory shocked Hebei. The city was slaughtered, the city was destroyed, and SHEN WOO signed the seal. " In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Rouran Khanate, which confronted the Western Wei Dynasty, had a rather atmospheric military song: "The vast sea, kiss my family. Rolling dust, leisurely my hole! Lang Lang Gan Kun, a man of flesh and blood, vast sky, bless me! " However, that's Hugh's translation, not a Chinese song. Frontier poems in the Tang Dynasty can best inspire the morale of the army, and can best be used as military songs, such as Wang Changling's "Only make the Dragon City fly, and don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain", "Yellow sand wears golden armor for hundreds of battles until it breaks Loulan" and Du Fu's "A man born in the world is better than a seal". How can we keep the mountains in the old days when we made achievements in the war? When Ji Yumen is recruited, the army cannot stay. A thousand dollars for a whip, and a hundred dollars for a little. I'll see you off, and my relatives will have a week. Ash is on it, and wine is full of shame. Teenagers have no gifts. They smiled at Wu Gou. "
Other so-called frontier poems, such as "Poor bones along the river, still living in a boudoir dream" (Chen Tao), "Drunken lying on the sand, you don't laugh, but there were several scholars fighting in ancient times" (William Wang), "Half of the men in our front line were killed, while the other half were alive, and beautiful girls were still dancing and singing for them in the camp" (Gao Shi), "After the snow in Tianshan Mountain, the sea was cold and flutes were blowing on it. The salty song "Broken Array Music" rewards Taiping people. " "Four seas emperor wind quilt, millennium DE water clear; I can't even wear clothes, and I succeeded today. " "The Lord has a prosperous time, and I am loyal to him; After you see Yan Ge, it is a quiet autumn. " It's just a postwar ode, not a wartime military song. According to historical records, after the Five Dynasties, Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty personally wrote military songs. "As for the array, regardless of the outcome, the horse's head turned and all the songs were written. Therefore, whenever people forget to die, Sri Lanka also uses one of the troops. " It may be the most typical war song in the history of China, but its lyrics and songs have not been handed down. In the Song Dynasty, the country was weak, "the general was white-haired, and his husband was crying", and his morale was low. "Driving a long car and stepping on Helan Mountain Que", it is not clear whether this song "Man Jiang Hong" was written by Yue Fei, and it is unlikely to be the military song of Yue Jiajun in that year. Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese fighter in Ming Dynasty, once wrote "Song of Victory": "Ten thousand people want to shake Mount Tai, and loyalty wants to fight bullfights. The Lord will kiss me more than my parents, and I will not break the military law freely. Command Ming Xi reward and punishment have a letter, go through fire and water, in diligently! Report to the emperor Xi to save the head of Guizhou, kill all the slaves and find the seal. " It is said that at that time, Qi Jiajun "sang three songs, shook trees, danced, sympathized up and down, and waited for Dan to March south with awe." But this is only a temporary victory song. In Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan wrote love folk songs, navy victory songs and army victory songs for his Xiang army, but the length was too long, and the content was complicated and trivial, which had nothing to do with the military soul and was not suitable for singing. For example, "Army Victory Song": "The three armed forces listen to me earnestly and teach you the real secret of land warfare. The first camp should be carefully studied and the hills should be selected. Don't be low-lying and wet, don't be flat. There is retreat behind, advance in front, half meeting and half hiding. Look at the place where the mark is inserted, and insert the bamboo rope wall. The rope was wound three times, and the inner ring was slightly narrower than the outer ring. The foundation of the wall is six feet, and the trench is eight feet. The trench should be built tightly and firmly. The main wall should be seven feet high, and the auxiliary wall is only half as high. The soil and gravel were not strong, and a tank collapsed after the rain. A battalion only opens two doors, and everyone else is expelled from the outside. Dig some good toilets around to avoid smelling in hot weather. Put a card three miles away, keep it every day and patrol every night. ..... ""Poetry has been decadent for thousands of years, and the soul of the soldiers sells the soul. Concentrate on military music, and the ancient people will release Weng. "
