    出塞 - "Leaving the Frontier" 

    秦时明月汉时关,
    万里长征人未还。
    但使龙城飞将在,
    不教胡马度阴山。

    In the Qin Dynasty, under the bright moon of the Han,
    A thousand miles on the Long March, the people have not returned.
    But if the Dragon City's beacon should fly,
    No way shall we let the barbarian horses cross the Yin Mountains.
    Poetry Analysis:

    "出塞" (Leaving the Frontier) is a classical Chinese poem written by the famous Tang Dynasty poet, Li Bai (also spelled Li Bo). The poem beautifully captures the spirit of Chinese frontier defense and the longing for the safety and return of soldiers stationed on the border.

    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 This choice of historical references creates a sense of continuity and timelessness, suggesting that the challenges of guarding the frontier and the sacrifices made by soldiers have persisted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 next line, "A thousand miles on the Long March, the people have not returned," vividly describes the arduous and distant nature of the military campaign. The "Long March" implies a lengthy and challenging journey, while "the people have not returned" conveys a sense of loss and separation.

    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
