The "Soldiers Assault" of Shengshi Datang: For glory and dreams, more peace

Thirteen years ago, the TV series "Soldier Assault" was aired. The bitter growth history of a dull soldier earned enough tears from the audience and also won the show a high popularity and attention. A TV series with no female characters and no description of love relies on the dreams of soldiers and the tenderness of tough guys, which is not in line with reality. Some people don't understand: Why are there so many people dreaming of the green barracks in the peaceful era, and yearning for it?

In fact, this question was answered more than a thousand years ago. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that was also considered a peaceful era. History cannot restore the positive scenes of aspiring young people who joined the army and went to border fortresses at that time. What can give us the answer is the poems left behind and the unchanging feelings in the poems.

Serving the country from the army For glory and dreams

In the era of peace, it does not mean that every corner is peaceful. The Tang Dynasty is recognized by the world as one of the strongest times in China, but this prosperity is also maintained by the victory of foreign wars. On the border of the Tang Dynasty, there are Turks in the north, Tubo in the west, and Khitan in the east. The intrusion of foreign nationals is the reason for the army.

"I was born as a Han Yulin Lang, and he first went with hussars to fight Yuyang. I know not to suffer from the side court, but I can still hear the fragrance of chivalrous bones." (The second part of "Youth Travel")

This is Wang Wei's writing, a soldier who followed the Han Dynasty hussar general Huo Qubing. The domineering and vigorous character of the man seems to have always been admired and admired by poets in the Tang Dynasty. With such feelings, being able to kill the enemy on the battlefield has also become an honor for a man. Wang Wei used Han to refer to Tang, and he was also talking about his desire.

Who doesn't know that the border is far away and bitter, and the battle on the battlefield is born to death, but who can stop the young heroic dream. The combined use of function words such as "孰", "bu", "Zong", "Yu", etc., has continuously strengthened the determination to never return in the course of successive transitions. The young man who "snears the fragrance of chivalrous bones when he dies" is in the same line as the hero who "deathed his life to the country and saw death suddenly as home" in Cao Zhi's "White Horse". The difference is that in Cao Zhi's poems, the third person is used to objectively praise, which is not as straightforward as Wang Wei's direct expression of his chest, so that the youthful blood of the youth is about to emerge. This is probably also the brand of the vigorous era of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The purpose of fighting on the battlefield, of course, is not just to spread the blood and realize the heroic dream. Greater ambitions and ambitions are shown in Cui Hao’s "Gift to the Governor of Liangzhou Zhang"—— "Wind and frost ministers are bitter, and the years are the master of great kindness. I am the ambassador of the West River, and I will report the heart of the country."

may be incomprehensible at first reading. Why did a general who returned to the court after charging and falling into battle, why should he thank the monarch sitting on the court? It should be the monarch thanking him. But if you really understand the three words "Serving the country" at the end, you will understand: If there is no "Master's grace", how can this heart of serving the country have a chance to be realized? A general who is willing to stay on the borders of the country and protect the health of the people in Sheji will be grateful to his monarch no matter how hard he suffers. This is the enthusiasm from the heart and the best interpretation of the desire to serve the country.

Because of the high morale of this iron-blooded man, the patriotic passion of the scholars has also been deeply awakened. "The flames of fire illuminate Xijing, and my heart is insecure." (Yang Jiong, "Joining the Army")-Tubo and Turks are invading Gansu again, and the emergency military situation is like a burning beacon, which quickly spread to Chang'an. "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country." At this time, the scholar's spirit is also agitated in his heart, and he no longer wants to sit in his study and kill his youth and life. He bid farewell to the palace, and then "the iron cavalry circled the dragon city"; the battlefield was covered with heavy snow, and he felt the roar and contention of "the sound of wind and drums". But so what, "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar"!

Actually, Yang Jiong has never had military experience, but he borrowed this poem to express the passion of scholars who have devoted themselves to the army. That kind of urgent impulse, like a flying stream, aroused a roar in the mountain stream, magnificent.

Cen Shen said: "Fame and fame can only be taken right away, reallyHero a husband. " But I think that what a real hero wants is not the fame and fame in the general sense. Throughout history, whether it is Yue Fei, who "has aspirations and eats Huhu meat, laughs and drinks the blood of the Huns", or Wen Tianxiang, who "life has never died since ancient times, keeps his loyalty and his history", or Huo Qubing, who fought against the Huns and sealed the wolves to live in Xuxu, they did not fight to serve the country for the purpose of being appointed to the title, but to regain the mountains and protect the country. , Return the people to peace. This work is a work for all ages; this name is a name left in history.

Fenghuolangyan for growth and responsibility

Although the Tang Dynasty had frequent wars, there were many victories, which made people have unstoppable ambitions. They had to flock to the frontier fortress barracks to fulfill the imagination of "the yellow sand in the sky and the white snow". Impulse burns passion.

"Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. Huang Sha wears golden armor in battles, and will not return it if he does not break Loulan. " (Wang Changling's "Congjun Xing" fourth)

The outstanding frontier poems in the Tang Dynasty have an important ideological feature, which is that they do not avoid the hardship of war while writing heroic sentiments. The beginning of the article depicts a magnificent and desolate frontier fortress scenery. At that time, Qinghai was where the Tang army and Tubo fought many times, and Yumen Pass was the sphere of influence of the Turks, so these two cities were important frontier cities in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at Qinghai He Yumen Pass reminds people of the battles that have taken place in these two places, and their hearts are surging. "Huang sand wears golden armor for hundreds of battles", in just seven words, takes the long time, the frequent wars, and the hardships of struggle. , All summaries are exhaustive. But although the golden armor is worn out, the ambition of serving the country has not been eroded, but has become more firm in the temper of the desert sand. "Not broken Loulan will never return" is a responsibility and an oath. It is also a belief.

From ancient times to the present, the military camp has been the experience and test of life. From a neglected unknown soldier to an outstanding soldier, the steel gun and the bugle have witnessed the growth and Responsible. For the country, the family, and the people’s glory and dreams, prompt them to defeat the enemy and defeat themselves in setbacks.

"Grape wine luminous cup" , If you want to drink Pipa immediately, remind. Drunk lying in the battlefield, Lord Grim, a few people have fought back in ancient times. " ("Wang Han "Liangzhou Ci") Since ancient times, how many people can go home alive? This is a sad topic, but the scene of drinking and lying on the battlefield drunk, but also set off the pride of life and death. . Isn’t life the most precious thing, isn’t it such a frank and frank experience?

Mr. Lin Geng said in "Summary of Tang Poetry": "The frontier fortress poem is the most distinctive one on the peak of poetry in the Tang Dynasty. Sign. "That is the magnificence and magnificence intertwined with idealism and romanticism by the poet——

" The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed. "This is the unpredictable scenery outside the Great Wall.

" The horse hair is steamed with snow and sweat, and the money is turned into ice, and the grass is in the curtain. "This is a marvellous scene in a frosty environment.

There is also "the desert is lonely smoke straight, the long river is setting sun"; there is also "Guanshan is flying in snow, the flames break without smoke"..... .The self-confidence and pride of the Tang dynasty melted in the poetry, like a beacon fire and smoke, gradually rising from the bottom of my heart.

The Long March for stability and peace

In Chinese traditional culture, the purpose of fighting is never war, but peace.

王昌龄说: "But if the Dragon City Feijiang is here, I don’t teach Huma to fight the Yin Mountain. " ("Out of the Great Wall") Neither Dragon City nor Flying Commander specifically refers to a certain person, but implies a call to loyal ministers and good generals. The poet said that as long as there is such a brave general, you can resist the intrusion of foreign enemies. 诗It describes war, but there is no ambition, no aggression, no conquest服， The biggest wish is to guard one's own borders and guard the people's stable and peaceful life.

This kind of war view actually comes from the "peace" of Chinese traditional culture. "The Analects of Confucius" said: "The use of ritual, harmony is the most precious, the way of the king, the beauty is the beauty."

The foundation of Chinese culture is like water, warm and smooth, but "water follows the vessel and rounds, and man changes with the water. "Water can be quiet, rushing, or surging. is like the Chinese nation, although it does not advocate force, but it never fears war.

"The bow is the strong one, and the arrow is the long one. To shoot people, shoot horses first, and capture thieves first. Capture kings first. Killing is limited, and nations have their own borders. If you can control the tomb, how can it be More kills. " ("Leaving the Frontier")

Du Fu uses this poem to summarize the methods and goals of the ancients. "Shooting the horse" and "catching the king" are to minimize the killing and also to end the battle in the fastest way. Du Fu said that every country has its own territory. If it can subdue the invaders and no longer endure their bullying, why should it cause more damage.

It is the purpose of war to exchange short-term war for long-term peace, and it is also the real motivation for countless aspiring young people to join the army.

And if we can, we would rather like the "Sun Tzu Art of War" said: "Therefore, it is a hundred battles and victorious, but the good is not good; the soldier who fails to fight, the good who is good."

I really like a poem by Zhang Hu: "Mo Xiejian in one's life, do not avenge the villain." ("Book Anger") Mo Xiejian is one of the ten famous swords in ancient Chinese legends, and gentlemen use "swords" "It's not to cause a fight over personal grievances, let alone put the country at risk for national justice.

Whether it is the feelings of Chinese soldiers or the tolerance of the Chinese nation, it has not changed throughout the ages. National borders and the dignity of the people are the bottom line that cannot be violated. Tolerance and concessions above this are all to protect people's cherishment of stability and peace in their hearts.
