"白马篇" - On the White Horse (Ancient Chinese Poem by Cao Zhi) (100th Song Special)

This is a poem from the Three Kingdoms period, written by Cao Zhi, a writer of Cao Wei son of Cao Cao. It tells of a young youxia warrior defending the state against barbarian invaders.
The youxia were a kind of warrior in ancient China, not dissimilar to langrén/rōnin in Japan and knight-errants in Europe. For information, see the wikipedia.

Many thanks to the honorable Sergeant Lemon for translation help! Seriously, without him I wouldn't have been able to do ANY of this.

I do not get many subscribers off my videos. All translations here and on the Kuai channel are self made, and I put a lot of effort into making sure they are accurate. So please, subscribe and share this video with a friend, a discord server, or a back-alley homeless man. Thanks!
