Specific introduction:

When 15-20-year-old teenagers, they can capture the figure of Hu people riding horses on foot. He beat the Meishan tiger, and he excited the yellow mane horse! He has fought many battles and fought for three thousand miles. He once fought a million lions with one sword. The Han army is as sharp as thunder, and the Lu country that tramples on each other is afraid of thistles. Wei Qing's failure was due to the help of the gods, but Li Guang's failure was due to his fate. Being abandoned doesn't have to be old, and the world has become the first in the past. In those days, he was like an arrow shot at a lark by Hou Yi. Now he was born on his left elbow. As a result, he was demoted to the roadside to sell melons and learned to make pottery to make the door green.

Ancient trees extend all the way to narrow lanes, and isolated mountains extend to cold windows. However, if he prays, water will gush out for his people, and he will never indulge his reasons with wine.

Soldiers lined up like clouds on Helan Mountain, and books in the army were rumors day and night. The special envoy of Red Festival went to Sanhe for conscription, and the commander-in-chief sent troops to General Five. The veteran wiped out the armor of steel armor and used a sword with a flashing seven-star pattern. He is ready to use his powerful northern bow to attack the Tatar chieftain, so that foreign uniforms will not offend the emperor. Once there was an old officer who was forgotten in a distant place, and he was still able to win with one blow.

Full text appreciation:

In 737 AD (twenty-five years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), Wang Wei was appointed as the suggestion, served as our envoy under Cui, our envoy in the west of Liangzhou River, and spent a year in the army. During this period, he went deep into the life of soldiers and shuttled between ordinary schools, and found that there were many unreasonable places in the army.

This poem tells the story of a veteran. Throughout his life, he made great contributions to the crusade against the west, but he ended up in a sad end that "reactive power" was abandoned and he had to work hard. When the border war broke out again, he volunteered to serve the country regardless of grievances. The work exposes the ignorance and ruthlessness of the rulers' rewards and punishments, and praises the noble moral integrity and patriotic enthusiasm of the veterans.

The whole poem is divided into three paragraphs, with the first ten sentences as the first paragraph, which tells about the wisdom, courage, achievements and unfair experiences of the veteran when he was young. First of all, he had Li Guang's wisdom and courage when he was young. He took down the enemy's war horse on foot and shot the fiercest "white-fronted tiger" in the mountains with a bow. Then he used the story of Cao Cao's second son, Cao Zhang, nicknamed Huang Xuer. He bravely defeated the enemy, but the credit goes to the generals. The poet used these two allusions to describe the wisdom, courage and virtue of veterans.
