This poem is from "Chivalrous Ride", which is a poem written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, with the theme of ancient Yuefu. The original poem is as follows:
The swordsmen of Zhao are dotted with tassels at will, and their swords are as bright as Shuang Shuang. The silver saddle and the white horse set each other off and galloped. Within ten steps, kill one person, cross a thousand miles, leave no one behind. After you finish, brush off your clothes, don't show any sound, and hide in the depths. Sometimes when I'm free, I walk through the county town, have a drink, and cross my sword over my knees. Eat meat with the sea and drink with Hou Ying in a big bowl.
Three cups of spit, five mountains are light. After drinking, my eyes were dizzy and energetic, and the rainbow was swallowed up by the air. When Zhao was captured, the soldiers and civilians in the city were frightened. Hai and Hou Yingcai are real warriors of the second century, and they are famous in the whole city. As a knight, the death of chivalrous bone is also fragrant, and it is worthy of being a hero. Who can learn Confucian scholars, stay in books all his life, have white hair, and still write the Xuanjing? .
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: Zhao Yan's chivalrous man wears a chivalrous Wu Ying on his head and a shining Wuyue machete on his waist. A white horse riding a silver saddle gallops in the street like a meteor in the sky. Their martial arts are the best in the world, and they kill one person in ten steps. No one can stop their trip in the drought. They are brave and chivalrous, and they won't even leave their names when they are done.
Back in those days, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai made friends with Xinlingjun, took off their swords over their knees and had a drink. After three cups of hot wine, I made a generous promise that I would help my bosom friend with a knife. A promise of a thousand dollars is more important than Mount Tai. After dizziness and ear fever, the qi in the chest touches the sky and can penetrate Changhong. Zhu Hai saved Zhao for his faith and waved his golden vertebra, which shocked Handan, the capital of Zhao.
The heroic deeds of the two brave men are still a beautiful story in Daliangcheng today, a thousand years later. Even if you die, you are chivalrous and worthy of being a hero in the world. If you want to be a man, you must be as famous and praised as a chivalrous man like them. Who wants a Confucian scholar like Yang Xiong to write a book for nothing and die of old age?

Creation background: This poem was written in the third year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (744), and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to qi zhou. Rangers were quite popular in the Tang Dynasty. This was the social consciousness prevailing in Ren Xia at that time. Driven by their enterprising spirit and ambition, summer teenagers are eager to do something bold and happy, which has won universal praise from the society. Li Bai's Chivalrous Man was written under the background of Ren Xia's supremacy of consciousness.
The first four sentences of this poem describe the image of a chivalrous man from his costume, lance and mount, with only 20 words, as if he were writing something instead of writing people. But at that time, the ranger's momentum and grace were vividly displayed in the present. Because poets don't exaggerate things for the sake of things, but focus on people's spiritual motivation everywhere.
At that time, the popular costumes, such as Shouhu, Ying, Wu Gou and White Horse, were not only typical, but also showed the magnanimity of their owners, making everything lifelike.
The last four sentences describe the chivalrous man's superb martial arts and indifferent pursuit of fame and fortune. Only twenty crosses highly summarize noble personalities such as solving problems, not seeking fame and fortune, being loyal to their duties and paying attention to commitment. The poet praised it with the idea that "death is chivalrous and fragrant, and you are not ashamed of the world." The reason why poets are not very good at Ren Xia is that they yearn for it as their ideal personality, so they can write Ren Xia's general social consciousness so deeply and vividly.
The last four sentences introduce the stories of Xin, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai to further praise the chivalrous man and euphemistically express his ambition. Chivalrous men can get to know wise men, and wise men can achieve something with the help of chivalrous men's brave tactics, and chivalrous men will become famous.
The last four sentences show that even if the chivalrous action fails to achieve its goal, the chivalrous character will be immortal, which is not inferior to those heroes who have made great achievements, and those who write history should also write for them. The whole poem expresses the author's admiration for chivalrous men, his yearning for saving the world and making achievements, and vividly shows the author's lofty sentiments and aspirations.
