Make an appreciative comment

William Wang's "Liangzhou Ci" mainly describes the hardships and hardships of the soldiers guarding the border in Liangzhou, as well as their yearning for their hometown. The whole poem is set in Liangzhou, a frontier fortress, showing the harsh environment there and the loyalty and courage of the soldiers. This sentence describes that the soldiers drank wine at the banquet, but they still can't forget the frontier fortress's urging. The sound of pipa seems to urge them to embark on their journey.

Creation background

Enlightenment of life

In life, we often encounter all kinds of unexpected situations. Sometimes these situations will break our planned life, but they may also make us realize the preciousness of time and the fragility of life. Therefore, we need to learn to cherish the present, seize every opportunity, and don't miss the beauty of life because of some trivial things.

My personal experience is that sometimes things don't go according to our plan in life. At this time, we need to learn to adapt to changes and adjust our mentality and plans. At the same time, we should also understand that not everything in life can be as we wish. We need to accept and handle these things well in order to make ourselves stronger. The most important thing is to remember to cherish the people around you and every wonderful moment to make life more fulfilling and meaningful.
