Poetry of Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci! ! !

This poem depicts the special feeling of overlooking the Yellow River from a special perspective, and at the same time shows the magnificent and desolate scenery of the frontier fortress area, which is tragic and desolate and exudes a generous spirit. The cold of the frontier fortress reflects the sadness that the border guards can't return to their hometown. This kind of sadness is not depressed, but heroic and broad.

Two Liangzhou Ci Poems (I)

Tang dynasty? Wang Zhihuan

The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain.

Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing!

Step 2 explain

The Yellow River seems to rush out from the white clouds, and Yumenguan is hanging alone in the mountains.

Why do soldiers complain that willows don't sprout and spring breeze can't blow outside Yumen Pass?

Step 3 enjoy

Wang Zhihuan wrote this poem about the homesickness of frontier soldiers. It is desolate and generous, sad without losing strength. Although the resentment of garrison soldiers who are not allowed to go home is greatly exaggerated, there is no sense of depression and depression, which fully shows the open-mindedness and broadmindedness of poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Poetry begins with a description of the vastness and desolation of mountains and rivers, and bears the loneliness and danger of the defenders. The third sentence suddenly turns, introducing the sound of Qiang flute. The tune played by Qiangdi is "Folding Willow", which can't help but arouse people's sadness. This sentence is translated into Yuefu's "Cross Blowing Songs and Folding Willow Songs", "If you don't catch the whip when you get on the horse, you will fold Yang Liuzhi.

Playing the flute on the bench and worrying about killing travelers is very poetic. The custom of breaking willows to bid farewell flourished in the Tang Dynasty. "Liu" has a more direct relationship with parting. Therefore, people will feel sad not only when they see willow trees, but also when they hear the flute sound of "breaking willow trees". The sentence "strong enemy" is not about "smelling willow", but about "resenting willow", which is particularly wonderful. This avoids directly using the title of the song, and turns the board into life, which can trigger more associations and deepen poetry.
