In the following poem, Yan Zhaowang's allusion is used. He built a platform in the southeast of Yishui and bought thousands of dollars to recruit talents.

Enemy soldiers rolled in like dark clouds in an attempt to tear down the city wall; Our army was ready, and the sun shone on the armor, glittering with gold.

In autumn, the loud bugle sounded; The soldier's blood became dark in the night.

The red flag rolled half, and the reinforcements rushed to Xiao; The night frost is heavy and the drums are gloomy.

I want to report to you on the golden platform, and I want to take Yulong to your death.

Distinguish and appreciate

After the mid-Tang Dynasty, there were frequent wars in Hebei province, which seriously undermined the unity and stability of the country. Li He's new words, which imitate Yuefu ancient poems, are imaginative, not documentary, but typical at that time and have strong practical significance. The author warmly praised the soldiers who fought bloody battles and died for the country, showing his dissatisfaction with the social reality of the uncertain rebellion and the troubled times of the country at that time, and earnestly hoped that the court could reuse talents and calm the domestic thoughts and feelings.

The whole poem is only eight sentences, but it vividly describes the whole process of a fierce battle: the enemy besieged, the city was helpless, fought back bravely, the horn was deafening, advanced rapidly, was attacked by the stars and nights, was outnumbered and died for the country. The poet skillfully grasped a series of distinctive scenes, and used words such as "black", "gold", "red", "purple" and "swallowing fat" to make the scenery described more vivid, and then set it off from the side from the angles of "listening" and "seeing", "day" and "night" respectively, forming a picture of god. Among the poems reflecting the ancient frontier wars in China, this is a magnificent and far-reaching masterpiece.
