1. Background: During the Southern Song Dynasty, the country was at home and abroad, and social contradictions were acute. In this critical situation, the monarch and his subjects indulged in debauchery, incompetent governance and stealing peace, which brought endless disasters and sufferings to the people.
After the Shaoxing peace talks, the king indulged in high-rise drinking for a while in order to whitewash the peace and achieve personal peace. However, indulging in money is only an illusion, which is actually a neglect of national security.
2. Political background: The title of Lin 'an House was written in the reign of Xiaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court was dominated by the literati class, and there was a fierce power struggle between them and the emperor.
At the same time, due to the influence of the Anshi Rebellion, after the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was forced to be partial and pay tribute, which further aggravated the political crisis. In this context, Lin Sheng, a poet, created this work reflecting the social reality with Lin 'an as the breakthrough point.
3. Social background: At that time, there was a strict hierarchy and social division of labor. Imperial officials, scholars, businessmen, craftsmen and farmers all have their own specific positions and responsibilities. At the same time, with the development of commodity economy, urban culture is increasingly prosperous, and various cultural activities emerge one after another.
4. Cultural background: Lin 'an, as the cultural center of the Southern Song Dynasty, witnessed the prosperity and development of literature, art, philosophy, religion and other cultural forms. Poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, sculpture and other art forms have been greatly respected and developed. These cultural backgrounds provide the poem Lin 'an House with rich cultural connotations and unique artistic style.
