Poetry appreciation

The soldiers guarding the border were about to drink the wine in the cup when they heard the pipa suddenly ring. The sound of pipa urges people to fight to kill the enemy. This pipa sound has a double meaning-it is not only an inspiring horn, but also creates a homesick and sad atmosphere for soldiers.

The last two sentences of the poem contain the poet's thoughts on all wars in history and the lives of ordinary officers and men. Fighting for war is a tragedy that is constantly staged for all beings. In the face of such a world and life, how can we live without getting drunk? Here, the poet expressed his resentment and compassion in his chest. The language of this poem is both popular and profound. People can understand the meaning as soon as they read it, and they can find that the poet hides endless meanings in the blank, which is intriguing.
