Xiaoya Cai Wei is one of China's ancient realistic poetry anthology The Book of Songs.
Excerpt from the original:
Riding four horses, four horses are tall and strong. The generals sat in the car and the soldiers were under its protection. Four horses were trained, with bows and shark sacs decorated with Gu Xiang. If you don't quit that day, there will be pits and thorns.
Recalling the original exploration, the wind in Yang Liuyi was blowing in the wind; Now back on the road, snowflakes are flying everywhere. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry. The road is muddy, hungry and thirsty. Full of sadness, full of sadness, who experienced my sadness!
Translation:
Driving four stallions, four horses are tall and strong. The generals sat in the car, and the soldiers hid themselves by it. Four horses have been trained very skillfully, as well as a bow decorated with elephant bones and a shark skin quiver. How can you not be on guard every day? It's urgent and difficult.
Looking back at the original expedition, Yang Liu Yiyi blew with the wind. Now on the way back, the snow is flying all over the sky. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and I am really tired because I am hungry and thirsty. Full of sadness, full of sadness, who knows my sadness!

This poem is a reminiscence and sigh of such a battle-hardened soldier on his way home three thousand years ago. Its category belongs to Xiaoya, but it is very similar to the national style.
The whole poem consists of six chapters, divided into three layers. Since it is a memory on the way home, I will write it in flashback. The first three chapters are one layer, recalling homesickness and describing the reasons for being unable to return. The first four sentences of these three chapters express homesickness and yearning for home in a step-by-step way. As time goes on ...? Ancient Poetry Network >>
