[Edit this paragraph] Appreciation of works

It is an old topic in Yuefu that Yan Men is too obedient. This kind of quasi-ancient poetry in Tang Dynasty is relative to the "modern poetry" in Tang Dynasty. It has a wide rhyme and is not bound by too many metrical rules. It can be said that it is a kind of semi-free poem of the ancients. The poet's language tries to avoid dullness and pursue strangeness. In order to pursue strangeness, he pays attention to the color and modality of things, and expresses tense and tragic battle scenes with rich words, with novel ideas and rich images. Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to write tragic and tragic battle scenes with colorful words, and almost every sentence of Li He's poems has bright colors, such as gold, rouge and purple, which are not only bright but also rich in color. They are intertwined with black, autumn and jade white, forming a colorful picture. A poet, like a talented painter, is particularly good at coloring, expressing things with color and touching people with color, not just sketching out the outline. When he writes poetry, he seldom uses the technique of drawing lines, and always paints things with various novel and heavy colors with the help of imagination, which effectively shows their multi-level nature. [1] This poem consists of eight sentences. The first four sentences are about the scene before sunset. The first sentence not only talks about scenery, but also about things, which successfully exaggerates the tense atmosphere and critical situation in Enemy at the Gates. The word "dark clouds crush the city to destroy" vividly reveals the number and fierceness of the enemy, the disparity in strength between the warring parties and the difficult situation of the defenders. The defenders in the city are compared with the enemy outside the city. Suddenly, the situation changed, and a ray of sunshine penetrated through the clouds and reflected on the armor of the soldiers guarding the city, only to see glittering and dazzling. At the moment, they are preparing to fight. Here, daylight is used to show the camp and morale of the defenders, and the scene is very wonderful. It is said that Wang Anshi once criticized this sentence, saying, "When dark clouds overwhelm the city, is there still light in the sun?" Yang Shen claimed that he had indeed seen such a scene, accusing Wang Anshi of saying, "Song Lao's headscarf doesn't know poetry." In fact, the truth of art and the truth of life cannot be equated. When the enemy besieged the city, there may not be dark clouds. When the defenders are in array, it is not necessarily the sun that shines and cheers. Dark clouds and sunshine in poetry are the means for poets to create environment and create meaning. The third sentence and the fourth sentence describe the gloomy and miserable battlefield atmosphere from the auditory and visual aspects respectively. It's already late autumn, and all the trees are crumbling. In the dead silence, the horn sounded. Obviously, a thrilling battle is going on. "The sound of trumpets is all over the sky" outlines the scale of the war. With the advantage of numbers, the enemy clamored for progress and pressed forward step by step. The defender didn't get cold feet because of his weakness. Encouraged by the sound of the trumpet, their morale was high and they fought back hard. The fighting lasted from day to dusk. The poet did not directly describe the fierce scene of the wheel-staggered and hand-to-hand combat, but only made a rough but expressive description of the scene on the battlefield after the withdrawal of the two sides: the battle lasted from day to night, the sunset glow reflected the battlefield, and large rouge-like red blood condensed on the earth through the night fog. This gloomy and dignified atmosphere reflects the tragic scene of the battle site, suggesting that both the offensive and defensive sides have a large number of casualties, and the soldiers guarding the city are still at a disadvantage, which has made necessary preparations for the next friendly rescue. The last four sentences are about the activities of the rescue forces. "Half-rolled red flag is near Yishui" and "half-rolled" have extremely rich meanings. March in the dark and stop it in order to "surprise and attack it unprepared"; "Facing the Yi River" not only indicates the location of the battle, but also implies that the soldiers have such a heroic pride as "the wind blows and the water cools, and the strong men are gone forever". Then describe the bitter battle scene: as soon as the rescue troops approached the enemy camp, they beat gongs and drums and cheered and went into battle. But the night is so cold and frosty that even the drums can't move. Faced with many difficulties, the soldiers were not discouraged. "I want to report to you on the golden platform, and I want to take Yulong to your death." Huang Jintai was built in southeast Xiao during the Warring States Period. It is said that he once put a lot of gold on the stage, saying that he would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to attract scholars from all over the world. The poet quoted this story to express the soldiers' determination to serve the court. Sometimes, in order to make the picture more vivid, he also mixed some things with different or even contradictory nature, making them parallel and dislocated, forming a strong contrast. For example, the dark clouds over the city symbolize the arrogance of the enemy, and the brilliance of the sun shows the heroic attitude of the soldiers guarding the city. The contrast between the two is bright, the color is bright, and the love and hate are clear. Li He's poems are not only wonderful, but also appropriate. Strangeness and appropriateness are the basic characteristics of his poetry creation. This poem, colorful and mottled, depicts a tragic and tragic battle scene, which is bizarre; However, this colorful and peculiar picture accurately shows the frontier fortress scenery and the rapidly changing war situation at a specific time and place, which is very appropriate. Only its strangeness makes it more novel; Only when it is appropriate can it feel true; Strange and just right, thus forming a muddy and emotional artistic conception. This is Li He's unique skill in writing poems, which is both valuable and valuable to him. There are three poems: one is during the day, which shows that the government forces are heavily guarded; One is to practice hard before dusk; In the middle of the night, someone wrote that the loyalists attacked the enemy by surprise. The first couplet is about scenery and events, which plays up the tense atmosphere and critical situation in Enemy at the Gates. After the verdict was pronounced, the soldiers guarding the city were ready, and the daytime showed that the defenders were mighty and magnificent. Neck couplets and couplets render the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield and the cruelty of the battle from two aspects: sound and color. The neck couplet is about troops marching at night and going into battle. The Taiwan Federation quoted allusions and wrote the soldiers' determination to serve the country to the death.

[Edit this paragraph] Writing background

In the era when Li He lived, rebellion broke out one after another and wars continued. For example, in 809 (Yuan and four years), Wang Chengzong rose up to attack Yizhou and Dingzhou, and patriotic general Li led his troops to rescue them. In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he took the lead, broke through the tight encirclement, attacked Wu Yuanji rebels, killed the enemy and fled. It is speculated from some legends and data records about the poem "Wild Goose Gate Taishouxing" that it may be a war to pacify the rebellion in the buffer region. It was the second year of Yuanhe, in 807 AD. Li hecai 17 years old. This poem is about a hero who is full of lofty sentiments, fights against adversity and is determined to die. With warm praise and deep memory, this poem has created a very concrete and touching heroic image with a strong heroic style. The conclusion of "reporting to Wang Huang Jintai" reflects the sadness that the author has made contributions to the army but has not been appreciated.
