《望薊門》是唐代詩人祖詠的作品。此詩寫詩人到邊地見到壯麗景色,抒發(fā)立功報國的壯志。詩一開始就用“心驚”二字,表示詩人對國事的擔(dān)憂;接著寫聽到軍中不斷傳來鼓角聲,使人感到濃厚的戰(zhàn)爭氣氛;中間四句進(jìn)一步具體地描繪了登臺所見的緊張情況,從而激發(fā)了詩人投筆從戎、平定邊患、為國立功的壯志。全詩意境遼闊雄壯,充滿陽剛之美,帶有濃郁的盛唐時期的慷慨之氣,寫景狀物中又寄寓著詩人熱愛祖國山河的豪情和投身疆場為國立功的壯志,是一篇催人奮進(jìn)的愛國主義樂章。
《望薊門》 祖詠
燕臺一去客心驚,笳鼓喧喧漢將營。
萬里寒光生積雪,三邊曙色動危旌。
沙場烽火連胡月,海畔云山擁薊城。
少小雖非投筆吏,論功還欲請長纓。
Looking at Chi Men
Tsu Yung
We march out
our hearts moved with emotion
as we hear, back in our camp,
the sound of flute and drum.
In front of us is bitterness;
the wild snows are endless,
at dawn they colour red and the reflection
shines back on our banners.
There will be lonely nights in deserts
with the beacons on our watch-towers
throwing their beams in answer to the moon.
I remember at the city of Chi
how the clouds lie along the city walls
like waves along our home sea-coast;
and full of longing for home, I, but a simple lad,
wonder if all this is necessary; why
must we lay down the pen and pick up
the sword?
