《從軍行》是唐代詩人楊炯的代表作,借用古樂府曲調(diào)名為題目,實(shí)際為一首五律,反映從軍的辛苦。全詩寫士子從戎,征戰(zhàn)邊庭的過程和心情,從而表達(dá)了國家有事、匹夫有責(zé)的使命感和建功立業(yè)的豪邁情懷。
《從軍行》 楊炯
烽火照西京,心中自不平。
牙璋辭鳳闕,鐵騎繞龍城。
雪暗雕旗畫,風(fēng)多雜鼓聲。
寧為百夫長,勝做一書生。
Following the Army to the Frontier
Yang Jiong
Flaring beacons relayed the alarm to the West Capital,
The scholar was filled with an ardent fighting spirit.
Holding the tally of command the general bade adieu to the palace,
And soon the iron cavalry besieged the Dragon City of Huns.
Army flags faded and dulled in the whirling snow,
While howling winds were punctures by battle drums.
Better to join the army and be a captain
Than remain a scholar wallowing in books.
