For example, Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem called Jia Sheng, which satirized the feudal ruler's "don't ask ordinary people to ask ghosts and gods" by borrowing from predecessors, because at that time, many emperors in the late Tang Dynasty worshipped Buddhism and Taoism, sought immortality with medicine, ignored people's livelihood and refused to hire sages.
Ironically, the author wants to express his dissatisfaction with the current politics, culture and economy, but who do you think these things are related to? In ancient times, these things were related to officials and emperors, because these rights were in their hands, and people under them listened to their orders. It was their responsibility to do things well or badly.
If the author writes satirical articles directly, isn't that tantamount to pointing at the noses of emperors and officials by name? That won't be arrested and punished. From being beaten to being jailed for several days. If you are unlucky, you may lose your head. Also, if the writer is an official, then the black hat must be removed. If the dragon is furious, it may implicate nine families. Therefore, considering these aspects, ancient people can only rely on the past to satirize the present. After all, life matters
