Four-year-old classic poetry joined the army in three minutes.

Don Wang Changling

Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain,

Seeing yumenguan from the lonely city.

Huang Sha wears golden armor in many battles.

If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it.

[Notes]

1. Join the army: the old topic of Yuefu's "Harmony of Songs", talk more about military trips. Wang Changling's "Join the Army" consists of seven songs, and here is the fourth song.

2. Qinghai: Today's Qinghai Lake. Changyun: It's cloudy. It's all over the sky. Snow Mountain: A mountain covered with snow all year round, which refers to Qilian Mountain.

3. Isolated City: It refers to Yumenguan, with a vast territory and a sparse population, giving people the feeling of an isolated city. This word order is reversed, which means "looking at the Yumen Pass in the lonely city from afar".

4. Wear: Wear. Shiny armor: A combat suit is armor made of metal.

5. Destroy Loulan: Completely destroy the enemy by reference. Loulan: The title of Shanshan in the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty generally refers to the Japanese invaders who invaded the northwest border area at that time. [Modern Translation]

The endless dark clouds in Qinghai Lake,

Qilian mountain covered with snow all year round;

From a distance, you can only see the lonely city.

That's Yumen Xiongguan, which can't be moved by the spring breeze.

On the vast battlefield of Huangsha,

In many battles, the soldiers wore out their armor, clothes and shirts.

But if we don't wipe out the invading border thieves completely,

They will swear to death not to return home!
