Reference answer

①. The first sentence describes the vast desert, roaring wind, dust all over the sky and dim sunshine, which set off the tension and hardship of the war.

②. The half-scroll of the Red Flag describes the war situation from the side. On the one hand, the wind is very strong, so it is convenient to roll up the red flag for urgent marching. On the other hand, it is highly alert and quiet, highlighting the tension of the war.

(3). From the red flag half rolled out of Yuanmen, we can imagine Tang Jun's fierce prestige and tense atmosphere when he went to war.

From the reported capture of Tuyuhun alive, we can imagine the scene of Tang Jun's bravery and good fighting on the battlefield and the exciting and joyful scene when the good news came.

Wang Changling translation:

In the desert, the wind is howling, the dust is flying and the sky is dark. A group of soldiers left the barracks with half a red flag and advanced on the enemy. At this time, there was good news from the troops ahead: they had captured the enemy alive in the night battle of Taohe River and won a great victory.

explanation of Wang Changling's words:

1. Desert: refers to the vast and boundless desert

2. Yuanmen: the main entrance of the military camp

3. Taohe: a tributary of the Yellow River. Originally in Qinghai Province, the northeast flows through Lintao County, Gansu Province, and enters the Yellow River.

4. Tuguhun: the name of the minority in western China in ancient times. Here, it refers to the leaders who invade ethnic minorities.

Wang Changling background:

During the period of Tiaolu and Yonglong in Tang Gaozong (679──681), Tubo and Turkic invaded Gansu area many times, and Pei Xingjian, the minister of the Tang Dynasty, was ordered to set out for conquest. Wang Changling's poems "Joining the Army" describe the frontier soldiers in it. Poems are frontier poems written with the old poems of Yuefu, and there are seven poems in * * *. The whole poem describes the process and mood of scholars joining the army and fighting in the border court, thus expressing the sense of mission and heroic feelings of making contributions to the country.

Wang Changling's Appreciation 1:

This poem describes the joyful mood of the frontier soldiers who went to the front line when they heard the news that the troops in front had won the first battle, and praised their heroic spirit of bravely killing the enemy and selflessly serving the country. This poem is ambitious and full of enthusiasm, sweeping away the sad and sad style of frontier poems.

The first and second sentences in the poem are dusty in the desert, and the red flag is half-baked and rolled out of the Yuanmen. The inverted sentence describes the scene of the garrison troops being ordered to March and marching. The red flag refers to the border troops; The half-volume not only shows the dance of the military flag, but also conveys the high morale of the strong men guarding the border when they go to the front. The mighty troops advanced in the boundless sea like a rushing iron flow, making the smoke and dust rolling over the journey, covering the sky, and the sun suddenly became dim. The word "the sun is faint" is used to render the heroic spirit and scene of the rapid advance of thousands of horses. From the dust splashed at the feet of the follow-up troops who are in a hurry, we can imagine the strength of the front-line enemies and the fierce fighting and waiting for help. The faster the pace of soldiers, the more they show their fearless spirit of courageously marching forward.

three or four sentences: The former army fought in Taohe River in the night, and it was reported that they had captured Tuguhun alive. It was written that on the way to the urgent March, the good news that the troops in front had won the news suddenly came. The word "midnight oil" contains endless meanings, which tells us that the victory of capturing the enemy chieftain alive is hard-won. Night fighting in the desert, we must not only overcome the difficulties brought by the rapidly changing bad weather, but also ignore the pommel horse fatigue marching during the day. Without profound strategy and the spirit of daring to fight, it is difficult to defeat the enemy.

from the good news at the end of the poem, we can hear the cheers of the soldiers in the follow-up army who heard the good news and were overjoyed, the sobbing of the enemy chieftain who was dejected and despondent, and the soul-stirring cry of the vanguard troops during the bloody battle ...

At the same time, we can better appreciate the heroic spirit of the soldiers in the vanguard troops who are brave and invincible? ! The striking feature of this poem in art is its implication and thought-provoking. The first sentence of the poem describes the scene of the troops marching in a hurry, but the poet only writes about the rolling dust on the long political road, and does not directly write about people. The second sentence of the poem did not directly write how the soldiers guarding the border marched out, but wrote the red flag and rolled it out of Yuanmen, which was used to refer to the army. These two sentences are all about the action of troops, and neither seems to mention people, but the activities of people in the picture are not only self-evident, but also the main body of the picture. So that the poem appears particularly subtle and deep. The conclusion of the poem is also quite skillful. Although it does not say that the former army won, the atmosphere of victory is filled between the lines.

shoot the horse first, catch the thief first, catch the king, and the enemy chieftain is captured. Aren't the mob of enemy soldiers scattered like birds and beasts? It is precisely because the poem is full of imagination that it achieves the artistic effect of endless words and meanings.

Wang Changling's Appreciation 2:

People who have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms may have a deep impression on the fifth time, "Guan Yunchang's warm wine killed Hua Xiong". This is a wonderful section for shaping Guan Yu's heroic image. However, the book doesn't describe how Guan Yu, who was single-handed, confronted Hua Xiong, who led 5, troops. Instead, it uses a passage like this: (Guan Yu) paid his bill, raised his knife and got on the horse. All the governors heard the drums outside the customs, shouting loudly, such as the collapse of the sky, the collapse of the mountain, and all the people were shocked. Just as he was about to listen, the Luan bell rang, and the horse arrived at Zhongjun. Yun Chang lifted Hua Xiong's head and threw it on the ground, and the wine was still warm.

This piece of literature is very concise. From the atmosphere at that time and the reaction of governors, Guan Yu's great power is written. On its objective artistic effect, it is more fascinating than writing dozens of rounds of sword fighting. Luo Guanzhong's this passage, of course, has his originality, but if we avoid the positive narrative, through the atmosphere rendering and profile description, to let people imagine the war scene, but it is not his first, like Wang Changling's this song "Join the Army", it should be said that it is already early and successful in the form of poetry.

"The dust in the desert is getting dim", because the Altai Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Kunlun Mountain in northwest China all run from west to east or southeast, forming a big horn in Hexi Corridor and eastern Qinghai, with great wind. When the wind blows wildly, sand and stones fly. Therefore, "the sun is faint" is followed by "desert dust", which does not mean that it is getting late, but that the wind and sand cover the sky. But this not only shows the violent climate, but also appears as a background, which naturally plays a role in setting off and suggesting the military situation. In this situation, what action does Tang Jun take? It's not a closed door, passive defense, but an active expedition. In order to reduce the strong resistance of the wind and speed up the March, the soldiers marched forward with half-rolled red flags. These two sentences are in the "desert dust", rendering a strong force guided by the red flag. It seems that nature is not showing off, but this army is like a sword, pointing directly at the enemy camp. This makes the reader's heartstrings tightly, making people feel that a fierce battle is imminent. What kind of thrilling scene will this athlete who runs wild in the desert perform? Under this kind of suspense, read the last two sentences again: "The former army fought Taohe River in the night, and it has been reported that it has been captured alive." This can be said to be a fall together. The reader's suspense was followed by the army just now, but it was not their turn to show their talents on the battlefield. Just in the middle, the good news came that the vanguard troops had won a great victory in the night battle and even the enemy chieftain was captured alive. The plot develops rapidly and is a bit unexpected, but it is completely reasonable, because the momentum of the army's expedition written in the first two sentences has fully hinted at Tang Jun's morale and power. This powerful reinforcements, not only set off the striker's victory is not accidental, but also can see that Tang Jun's strength is more than enough, and the victory is assured.

From the description technique, the poet chose the follow-up troops who did not directly fight with the enemy, but only brought out the brilliant "night battle of the former army" from the side. This is an idea that breaks away from convention. If the narrative of the night battle is changed from the front, it will inevitably appear flat and cannot be completed in short quatrains. Now, by avoiding the positive description of the war process and contrasting it from the side, the shortcomings of quatrains have become strengths. It allows readers to imagine how hard and excellent the striker's battle is from "the desert is dusty and the sun is faint" and "the night battle in Taohe River". Appreciate how dramatic this expedition is from the "reported to be caught alive". A fierce battle is not written at the top of one's lungs, but with a light and jumping pen, which makes readers appreciate and daydream through side contrast and dyeing. All this, shown in just four poems, is more difficult in conceiving and expelling language, and it should be said that it is more difficult than a novel story like "Chopping Hua Xiong with warm wine".
