Need an argumentative essay on Fighting South of the Ramparts by Li Po. Needs to be 1 pages. Please no plagiarism.

The present research has identified that in the title and the four opening lines of the poem Li Po emphasizes the vast extent of China since he mentions the Ramparts of the Great Wall, the river Sanggan, the Onion River Road, the Parthian seas and the Tian Shan. These names convey the huge scale of Chinese fighting, but also the many different territories that are covered including ramparts, rivers, roads, seashores and mountainous regions. The sentence structure is deliberately repetitive, repeating time structures “Last year… This year which implies that the fighting goes through past, present, and future. There is an emphasis on the passage of time which makes the armies “grow gray and old” and Li Po suggests no hope of relief for the poor soldiers. Li Po contrasts the nomadic “battle and carnage” of Hun culture with the “fields and ploughlands” of Chinese culture and praises the wall that was built to keep the Tartars out. This shows that he values Chinese culture and longs for a return to a quiet and peaceful farming lifestyle. There is evidence of sympathy for all living creatures harmed by war. Li Po criticizes the senior officer who ordered this slaughter suggesting that it is not wise to indulge in violent wars, especially since they bring no benefit and cost many lives. This message can be applied to many contexts, and especially those which are conducted outside the home country, in the territory of other nations. &nbsp.
