Chapter 79 Liangzhou Ci/Wang Han

Let me talk about the author first.Du Fu has a song "The Grand Tour", which can be regarded as his autobiography.At the beginning of the poem, he said that he was smart and studious since he was a child, and he had outstanding talents, and then he said, "Li Yong is seeking knowledge, and Wang Han is willing to be a neighbor."Putting Wang Han and the famous calligrapher Li Yong together, it can be seen that Wang Han was still very famous at that time.Thirteen of his poems are extant, and the most famous one is this "Liangzhou Ci". Because of the strength of the country, the frontier poems in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty often had a kind of high-spirited spirit of generously going to the enemy.However, after all, it is war. If you win, you can of course have a golden waist and purple clothes, and your wife will be named as a wife; Inescapable reality.Therefore, it is very normal to drink a lot before going out and lie drunk on the battlefield. It is not a negative emotion as some people say, but a slightly sad heroism.

To appreciate this poem, there is no need to pursue the origin of the fine wine or the exquisiteness of the luminous cup. There may not be such things in the army. This is an exaggeration of the poem and has little to do with the theme.
