Tang dynasty: Gao Shi
Looking west from the North Tower, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the flowing water is close to the mountains, and the beautiful scenery is better than painting.
Surging Aucamus, rushing like an arrow of an arrow; When the city wall bends, the moon looks like a bow.
Hanging a fishing rod, I can't help but envy Jiang Taigong's fate. When I deeply understand the law of personnel changes, it is not in the depths of the old man's mind that fills the world.
I want to know what happened in the border area, but I know that there is still a piercing flute echoing in that border.
Translation:
Looking west from the North Building, you can see the clear Wan Li, and the vast flowing water is next to the continuous peaks. Beautiful scenery is better than pictures.
The turbulent fairy marsh, the swift current is like an arrow leaving the string; A curved moon hangs high above the city, just like a hanging bow.
When I put down my fishing rod, I couldn't help admiring Jiang Taigong's fate. When I deeply understand the law of personnel changes, I can't help thinking deeply about this old man who is otherwise.
I want to know what happened in the border area, but I know that the plaintive voice of the Qiang nationality is still echoing over the border.

2. Life in Shanghai and Lanzhou
Jin Dynasty: Deng Qianjiang
Lei Yun, a natural barrier and a golden soup, has been famous in Gaolan since ancient times. Yingtun embroidery is wrong, mountain-shaped rice gathers, throat 120 Qin Guan. There is still blood in the battle. There are carved boards when the clouds are cold. Xiao Yue, the head of Jingsai Building, still bends the jade bow.
Look, it's far from home. Rong Yuan's order was that the general should be lent to the altar. It's raining during the day and it's safe in spring. Between the teeth of a tiger playing flute. And feast with beads and sing according to the clouds. Take the heroic spirit and walk around Helan Mountain.
Translation:
With the natural barrier of the Yellow River and the ancient city of Tang Chi, the ancient city of San Francisco is more stable. The camps are like splendid criss-crossing, the mountains are steep, the Qinhe River is dangerous and solid, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. After the war, the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood. What you can see is the sky of the battlefield, where fierce blood-eating sculptures hover and greedily stare at the bones everywhere. The top of Gaolan Tower is extremely bright and bent like a jade bow.
Look at Ban Chao's trip to the Western Regions and his return. The general has issued a notice that the emperor will set up an altar to pay homage. There was no one in the night sky in Xixia camp. At night, I raised a bonfire in my pocket to report my peace. Soldiers are carefree, and the tiger symbol that mobilizes troops to fight is also idle. Drinking wine and watching singers and dancers perform. Pay homage to the martyrs and guard Helan Mountain day and night.
Extended data:
1. Writing background of "North Tower of Jincheng": This poem was written in the autumn and winter of the 11th year of Tang Tianbao (752), when Gao Shi left Chang 'an, passed through Jincheng, and went to Longyou as the secretary of our department. Climbing the North Tower, overlooking the clear Wan Li in the west, with beautiful rivers and mountains, the poet's heart can't help but fluctuate and his thoughts are myriad.
Gao Shi, who has always been a mediocre official career, is full of strong desire to make contributions, so this poem not only writes about scenery, but also incorporates many thoughts about himself and the future of the country.
2. Writing background: This is a work presented by Deng Qianjiang to Liu Zhang, the captain who was stationed in Lanzhou at that time. The writing of the works originated from the Battle of Song and Xia Dynasties, that is, the battle between Song Jun and Xia Jun for Lanzhou from the fourth year of Zheng He (A.D.114) to the second year of Tianhui (A.D. 1 124).
The purpose of the title is to eulogize the heroic achievements of the frontier generals against the background of the military struggle between Jin and Xixia, aiming at reflecting the Jin-Xia war in Gaolan area in the middle and late Jin Dynasty. Lanzhou, as a frequent area of the Western Front War, suffered from the war. The poet experienced this period of war, and he was inspired to create this word. ?
