Appreciation of "Picking Wei (Excerpt)":

"Picking Wei" is a song in "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya". Commentators in the past dynasties have different opinions on the time when it was written. However, based on its content and other historical records, it is more likely to be a work from the era of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. The ruthless people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (later the Xiongnu) were very powerful and often invaded the Central Plains, bringing many disasters to the lives of the people in the north at that time. It can be seen from the content of "Plucking Wei" that this poem praises the hard life and homesickness of soldiers in the army.
