From Wang Wei's "Going to the Frontier" in the Tang Dynasty, the original text:
Riding a bike to visit the border and passing through Juyan County.
Pengpeng also floated out of Korea, and the geese heading north also flew into the sky.
The vast desert is lonely, and the Yellow River sets the yen.
When I arrived at the small pass, I met a spy waiting for the knight and told me that Dou Hu was in Yan.
Translation:
I will visit the border without pomp, and all the countries I pass by have passed by.
Like a grass drifting with the wind, wild geese belonging to the north are flying in the sky.
Solitary smoke goes straight to the vast desert, and the sunset is round by the Yellow River.
When I arrived at Xiaoguan, I met the reconnaissance cavalry and learned that the commander-in-chief was still at the front.
Extended data:
This is a poem written by the poet on his way to the frontier to express his condolences to the soldiers. This paper describes the ambassador's trip to the Great Wall and the scenery outside the Great Wall he saw during his trip. The first two sentences explain the purpose and place of this trip and why you wrote this poem; Zhuan Xu's two sentences contain multiple meanings and describe the feeling of falling from the grass.
The two sentences of the neck couplet describe the magnificent scene of the frontier desert, with a vast realm and magnificent weather. The end couplet wrote frontier fortress, but I didn't see the general officer. The scout told the special envoy that the first general was at the front. This poem not only reflects the frontier life.
At the same time, it also expresses the feelings of loneliness, loneliness and sadness caused by the exclusion of the poet, as well as the generous and tragic feelings after being edified, purified and sublimated in the majestic scenery of the desert, showing an open-minded feeling.
In particular, the link of "lonely smoke in the desert, long river setting the yen" describes the strange and magnificent scenery outside the Great Wall after entering the frontier fortress. The picture is open and the artistic conception is magnificent, which is called "the wonders of the ages" by Wang Guowei. The frontier desert is boundless, so the word "big" of "desert" is used.
The frontier fortress is desolate and wonders. The smoke lit by the beacon tower is particularly eye-catching, so it is called "solitary smoke". A word "solitary" describes the monotony of the landscape, and a word "straight" behind it also shows its strength and perseverance. There are no mountains and trees in the desert, and the Yellow River flowing through it cannot express the poet's feelings unless a word "long" is used.
Sunset, originally easy to give people a sentimental impression, uses the word "round" here, but it gives people a feeling of warmth and boundless. The word "circle" and "straight" not only accurately describes the desert scene, but also shows the author's deep affection. The poet skillfully blends his loneliness into the description of the vast natural scenery.
