At the end of spring, Liu Xufei is everywhere in Chang 'an, and the east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows the willow branches of the imperial garden.
The original text is: the spring city is full of flowers, and the cold food is easterly and willows are oblique. As night fell, the palace was busy lighting candles, and smoke drifted to the house of the prince and the marquis.
This poem is good at selecting typical themes and quoting appropriate allusions to satirize the corruption of the exclusive rights of consorts. Although the style of writing is exquisite, readers can still understand the theme of the poem under the hint of historical allusions and the confirmation of the social situation in the middle Tang Dynasty.
There are two main artistic achievements of this poem: first, it is dense in thought and rigorous in structure.
