The ancient poem "Shi Zhi Shang Shang" means riding a bicycle to visit the border gate, but the vassal country passing by has already passed Juyan. Thousands of miles of flying pods have also floated out of Hansai, and the wild geese returning to the north are soaring in the sky. The solitary smoke rises straight up in the vast desert, and the setting sun is perfect on the endless Yellow River. Go to Xiaoguan and meet the scouting knight, who tells me that the Protector is already in Yanran.

Original text: "The Envoy to the Fortress" by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty: "The bicycle wants to ask about the side, and the country is passing Juyan. The expedition leaves the Han Fortress, and the returning geese enter the Hutian. The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the long river is full of sun. Xiao Xiao When you are ready to ride, you will be protected by Yan Ran."

Appreciation of "Shi Zhi Zhi Shang":

"Shi Zhi Zhi Shang" is Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem on his way to the border to express condolences to the soldiers, describing his journey to the fortress and the scenery outside the fortress he saw during the journey.

This poem not only reflects the life in the frontier, but also expresses the poet's loneliness, loneliness, and sadness caused by being excluded, as well as the emotions that are nurtured, purified, and sublimated in the majestic scenery of the desert. The generous and tragic feeling reveals an open-minded mood.

The poet focused his pen and ink on what he was best at, describing scenes. The author's mission happened to be in spring. On the way, he saw several lines of returning geese flying north. The poet created a metaphor based on the scene and used the returning geese to compare himself. He not only narrated the story but also described the scenery. It was two strokes in one stroke, which was appropriate and natural. In particular, the couplet "The solitary smoke stretches straight across the desert, and the sun sets over the long river" describes the strange and magnificent scenery beyond the border fortress that one sees after entering the border fortress.
