出塞 - "Leaving the Frontier"
In the Qin Dynasty, under the bright moon of the Han,
Poetry Analysis:
In the first two lines, the poem references two distinct historical periods: the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. This choice of historical references creates a sense of continuity and timelessness, suggesting that the challenges of guarding the frontier and the sacrifices made by soldiers have persisted throughout history.
The heart of the poem lies in the final two lines. "But if the Dragon City's beacon should fly" refers to the idea that if a signal beacon from the Dragon City (a symbol of safety and civilization) were to shine brightly, it would signify that the border is secure. The poet expresses the hope that the beacon will fly, indicating a victorious defense against invaders.
The poem concludes with a resolute determination: "No way shall we let the barbarian horses cross the Yin Mountains." This line underscores the poet's commitment to defending the frontier and preventing any incursion by "barbarian" forces. The Yin Mountains were a natural barrier, and keeping the enemy from crossing them was of great strategic importance.
In "出塞," Li Bai skillfully blends history, landscape, and the emotions of duty and longing. The poem pays tribute to the valor of the soldiers guarding the frontier and conveys the enduring commitment to protect China's borders from external threats
