Gu congjun marched
Tang Dynasty · Lee
Climb the mountain in the daytime to look at the beacon fire, and drink horses at dusk to cross the river.
Pedestrians fight in the wind and sand, and the princess pipa has many grievances.
There are no cities in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow are even in the desert.
Hu Yan mourned and flew at night, and Hu Er's tears fell in both directions.
Hearing that the jade gate is still covered, you should drive your life away.
Years and years of war bones buried outside, empty peach into the Han family.
About the Author:
Li Ji, a native of Yingyang, Henan, during the Tang Dynasty, was born in 690, the year in which Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor and personally consulted the tributes at the Luocheng Hall of the Divine Capital Ziwei City.
When Li Ji was young, his family was rich and had a lot of property, but when he was a teenager, he made friends with rich merchants and children, and eventually went bankrupt. From here, it can be seen that Li Ji is an excellent friend, and he is proud and righteous.
After the fall of his family, Li Ji began to work hard, lived in seclusion for ten years, and finally passed the jinshi in the thirteenth year of Tang Xuanzong's kaiyuan (725), and became famous in the world. Tang Dynasty jinshi were extremely difficult to obtain, and the Tang Xuanzong Tianbao, who had admitted the most jinshi, had only 56 people in the twelve years. It can be seen from this that Li Ji has real talent and practical learning, and his literary skills are not weaker than the Tang Dynasty celebrities as we know them. In fact, he is friends with famous poets such as Wang Wei, Gao Shi, and Wang Changling, and Biansai poetry is his main creative direction.
Li Yi became a lieutenant of Xinxiang County after passing the examination for the middle age, and perhaps felt that his career was hopeless, so he quickly resigned. Since then, he has traveled through the mountains and rivers, made friends with celebrities, and lived a semi-reclusive life. There are three volumes of Li Ji's poems in the Quan Tang Poems, and the above", "Ancient Congjun Xing", is one of his masterpieces.
Masterpiece of Ben Sai's Poem: "Ancient Military Journey"
The original military line is the old theme of the "Xianghe Song And Ping Tune" of the Music House, and most of the military life is written. But the poet was afraid of violating the taboo, so he added a "gu" word in front of it.
Li Ji mainly lived during the Tang Xuanzong period, and most of the poets of his period sang the glory of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and praised the Ming Jun. However, Li Yi saw the good deeds of Emperor Tang Ming in opening up the territory to the outside world, using all his troops and martial arts, and treating human life as grass and mustard. This kind of poetry that embodies the sufferings of the people in the heyday is invaluable.
The meaning of the poem is: climb the mountain during the day to watch the beacon of the alarm, and lead the horse to the Jiaohe River to drink water at dusk. The wind and sand were thick and dark, and only the sound of the night patrol in the army could be heard, and the sound of the lute that was like crying and complaining. The wilderness is cloudy and foggy, and the city is not seen for thousands of miles, and the rain and snow cover the boundless desert. The mourning Hu geese flew through the air at night, and the Hu soldiers were also touched by the scene and burst into tears. I heard that the Yumen Pass had been blocked from returning, and the warriors had to follow the general to fight the enemy. The bones of those who died in battle year after year were buried in the wilderness, in exchange for the grapes from the western regions to send to the Han family.
The pre-war scene described by the poet is immersive, and we see the beacon tower on the side of the plug, the drinking water of the war horses, the wind and sand covering the sky, and the sound of the pipa interspersed with the sound of the lute all tell the sense of pre-war slaughter.
The warriors who went out on the expedition, the jade gate behind them had been closed, they could only follow the general to fight, and they died on the battlefield only in exchange for grapes, did this not show the emperor's grass and human life? Li Ji has a strong irony in the poem, and in his heart there is quite Zhang Yanghao's "Xing, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer. "The feeling.
The whole poem skillfully uses syllables to express the meaning. The first two words "day" at the beginning of the sentence are both in the sound, with the meaning of the opening drum board. The "Diao Dou" and "Pipa" in the third and fourth sentences use double sounds to enhance the beauty of syllables. The middle section turns into the sound rhyme, "double double fall" is the cooperation between The Jiangyang rhyme and the sound, just like the cloud gong and the drum board ensemble, one wide and one narrow, one put and one close, the syllable is the most beautiful. After the middle section enters the rhyme, the last section chooses the six rhymes with the largest mouth. In terms of five tones, the first paragraph is a feather tone, the middle part is a horn tone, and the last paragraph is a quotient tone, and the syllables are staggered, each extreme. The whole poem successively uses overlapping words such as "one after another", "night and night", "double double", "year year" and so on, which not only emphasizes the semantic meaning, but also superimposes the rhyme, and has a lot of color on the syllables.
In "Approving The Tang Yin," it is said: "Li Ji is not good at five words, but good at seven words, so there are high points in both song and seven words." Li Ji's poems have a major feature, the poems imply musical rhythms, which are very characteristic of the ancient "Book of Poetry".
Poetic Achievements:
Border plug poems: depicting the scene outside the plug is realistic, the style of writing is more heroic, straight to the chest, and the mood is more somber and sad. Representative works: "Ancient Congjun Xing", "Ancient Meaning".
Poetry describing music: Tang Dynasty Hu music was introduced to the Central Plains, adding many exotic tones to the music. Li Yi combined poetry with music to create many poems describing music, such as "Listening to Dong Da PlayIng Hu Di Lang and Sending Words to the Room".
In addition, Li Ji also had a lot of feelings in monasticism, and there were many poems in this regard. But the content is more negative, not enough here also.
Li Ji died in 751, when the Tang Dynasty was still at its peak. He was extremely lucky not to see the Anshi Rebellion that followed in the near future. The worries about the country and the people in his works let us see that he was a great patriotic poet.
