1. Raise your head to see the floating clouds in the northwest, and you must have a long sword to rely on the sky thousands of miles away. People say that this is a place where we can see each other late at night, and the flames of bullfighting - Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji

If we talk about the "sword, gall, harp and heart" of ancient literati, the first thing that comes to my mind is not Li Bai, but Xin Qiji. Xin Jiaxuan is not only an eternal literary giant, but also a brave general who has experienced many battles. In Xin Qiji's heart, the sword is the most domineering symbol in life. It is different from pen and ink, and it is not used for paper fans. It can reach thousands of miles across the battlefield. What is needed is a long sword that can cut gold and jade.

2. Why don’t men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan? Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a moment, as if you were a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households - Tang Dynasty, Li He

The Wu Gou is a weapon in the Spring and Autumn Period. Later generations will use it to represent a sharp sword, galloping on the battlefield, and serving the country with inspiration. This poem can be said to be Li He's domineering and bold words, or it can be said to be Li He's anger at his status as a scholar. How can a dignified, seven-foot-tall man be able to recite poems and compose poems all day long? You should hold a long sword and "collect the fifty states of Guanshan"! This is the literati’s dream of being a knight.

3. The king of Qin swept Liuhe, what a majestic sight! Swinging the sword to cut through the floating clouds, all the princes came to the west - Tang Dynasty, Li Bai

The Poet Immortal will always be the love of my heart. He lived his life into poetry. His life was only poetry and the distance, and the sword and liquor. Historical records record that when he was young, Li Bai "loved fencing, was fond of serving as a knight, and despised wealth over charity." This means that Li Bai had a dream of being a swordsman since he was a child. Li Bai's poems and swords are both domineering. He left his hometown to explore the world, "traveling with a sword, leaving relatives and traveling far away." Li Bai did not bring a pen or a book, but only a long sword.

4. When drunk, I read the sword by burning the lamp, and dreamed of blowing the trumpet company camp. Eight hundred miles under his command, the sound of fifty-stringed strings rolling outside the Great Wall, the autumn troops on the battlefield - Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji

A person's sword energy is not only that he can go into battle to kill the enemy, but also that he can "support the Jade Dragon" "You will die" because of his unwavering pride and strong character. This is the case with Xin Qiji. He can fight on the battlefield with a sword, and he can also compose poems with a wave of brush. The sword spirit has been completely infiltrated into Xin Qiji's state of mind, so Xin Qiji's poems are far-reaching, magnificent, and filled with murderous intent. This is the real sword spirit.

5. The young man is chivalrous and makes friends with five heroes. During the talk, we live and die together, and a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Don't ask for a long tassel, just take the talent of the genius, the sword roars in the west wind - Song Dynasty, He Zhu

If a person does not have sword spirit in his chest, his life will not be so free and unrestrained, and neither will the poems he writes. Such arrogance. There are many very exquisite words in ancient times, such as "the sword is bold and the piano is heart", "the book and sword are floating", and "the sword is roaring and the rainbow is shining". It wasn't until I saw this poem by He Zhu that I understood the chivalrous and sword-like spirit of these words.

6. Fight with the golden drum at dawn, and hug the jade saddle at night. I am willing to use my sword from my waist to kill Loulan - Tang Dynasty, Li Bai

When we evaluate ancient literati, we often use a word, "poetry and wine are romantic". But this word is not suitable for Li Bai. Li Bai is "sword and wine romantic". In Li Bai's life, both sword and wine were important, even more important than poetry. Poetry was just the product of Li Bai's "sword and wine". The Poet Immortal cannot do without wine, let alone the sword. Writing poetry is just a kind of vertical and horizontal display of his sword energy.
