Creative background:
Wang Changling wrote "Out of the Great Wall" when he went to the Western Regions in his early years. Wang Changling lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so in his frontier poems, he can show passionate upward spirit and strong self-confidence in defeating the enemy. However, frequent border wars have also overwhelmed the people and longed for peace, and "Out of the fortress" reflects the people's desire for peace.
Appreciate:
This is a famous frontier fortress poem, which expresses the poet's desire to be a good general, calm the frontier fortress war as soon as possible and let the people live a stable life.
The poet begins with a description of the scenery, and the first sentence outlines a desolate scene of Leng Yue looking at the border. "The Moon of Qin Dynasty was broken in Han Dynasty" cannot be understood as the Moon of Qin Dynasty was broken in Han Dynasty. Here, Qin, Han, Guan and Yue are used alternately, which is called intertextuality in rhetoric, meaning bright moon in Qin and Han dynasties and Guan in Qin and Han dynasties. The poet hinted that the war here has never stopped since Qin and Han dynasties, highlighting the long time. The second sentence "The Long March has not returned" and "Wan Li" mean that the frontier fortress and the mainland are far from Wan Li. Although it is empty, it highlights the vastness of space. The Return of Man reminds people of the disaster brought by the war and expresses the poet's grief and indignation.
How can we get rid of people's difficulties? The poet pinned his hopes on a brilliant general. "But make Longcheng fly, and don't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain." If Wei Qing, who attacked Liuzhou, and Li Guang, the flying general, were still alive, they would never let the Hu people cavalry cross the Yinshan Mountain. "Dragon City" refers to Wei Qing, a famous soldier who surprised the Xiongnu holy land, and "Flying General" refers to the famous flying general Li Guang. "Flying Generals in Dragon City" is not just a person, but actually refers to Li Jue, who was also a famous anti-Hungarian body double in Han Dynasty. "Don't teach" is not allowed, and the word "teach" is pronounced flat; "Huma" here refers to the cavalry invaded by foreign countries. "crossing Yinshan", crossing Yinshan. Yinshan Mountain is a big mountain range in the east-west direction in the north, and it is the natural barrier of the northern border defense in Han Dynasty. The last two sentences are written implicitly and skillfully, which makes people draw the necessary conclusions by comparing the past.
Although this poem has only four short lines, its content is complicated through the description of frontier fortress scenery and conscription psychology. Have strong sympathy for the soldiers who have been defending for a long time, and have the desire to end this border defense regardless of the situation; At the same time, it also showed dissatisfaction with the court's failure to select and appoint talents, and at the same time paid attention to the overall situation and realized the justice of the war. Therefore, his personal interests are subordinate to the needs of national security, and he issued an oath of "not teaching Huma to turn over the shady mountain", which is full of patriotic passion.
The poet did not describe the frontier fortress scenery in detail, but chose a typical picture of garrison life to reveal the inner world of foot soldiers. Scenery description is only a means to describe the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Han Yuefu and DuDu are integrated into the scenery and saturated with the emotional color of the characters. The complex content is thrown into the four-line poem, which is profound, implicit and intriguing.
