1, Silkworm Valley Tour

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu.

All counties and countries in the world go to the city, and there is no city!

How can you cast armor as a farm tool and plow an inch of bison?

Cattle can be raised, so can silkworms.

For nothing, the martyrs burst into tears, and men and women sang again.

Vernacular translation:

There are thousands of cities in all parts of the world, and there is not a city without armor! How can we cast armor weapons into agricultural tools so that every inch of land can be cultivated? If this can be done, cattle will be used to the maximum extent and sericulture will be successful; There is no need to make the soldiers cry. At that time, the whole society worked hard and lived and worked in peace and contentment. How nice it is for people to sing while walking!

Creative background:

This poem was written from the first year of Dali in Tang Daizong (766) to the fourth year of Dali (769). It is difficult to determine the exact date, and various scholars have different opinions. At this time, the Anshi Rebellion was basically put out, so Du Fu hoped that the war would stop as soon as possible and all the soldiers would be disarmed and returned to the fields, which reflected the wishes of the broad masses of the people at that time.

2. "Off the plug"

Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling.

It is still the moon and border pass in Qin and Han dynasties, and the enemy has fought a protracted war.

If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan.

Vernacular translation:

Or the bright moon border during the Qin and Han Dynasties, how many soldiers Wan Li went to war and did not return.

If Wei Qing, the flying general of Dragon City, were still here today, he would not let the enemy's hands step on the shady mountain.

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 heyday of the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Tang won many foreign wars. In the works of frontier fortress poets, an impassioned upward spirit and strong self-confidence to defeat the enemy can be reflected. At the same time, frequent border wars also make people feel overwhelmed and long for peace, and "Out of the fortress" reflects people's desire for peace.
