Don't discuss state poems

Because his official position at that time was very low, he could not change the state affairs with practical actions, so he wrote poems to satirize the court, and the emperor's tolerance enabled him to really write poems. Cao Ye, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, always wanted to be an official in the imperial examination. In order to gain fame, he stayed in Chang 'an for more than ten years, and finally he was admitted to Jinshi. His perseverance is admirable. However, even when he became an official, his official position still could not change the shaky late Tang Dynasty, nor could it bring comfort to the common people. Therefore, Cao Ye kept writing his frustration into his poems.

Cao Ye was outspoken. He was not afraid of the emperor's criticism, and wrote about the corruption in officialdom, the ambition of the son of heaven and the sufferings of the people. His poems are extremely sharp and aggressive, changing the extravagant poetic style of the Tang Dynasty. Admirably, he wrote not only the people, but also the emperor. Such a poet has a sharp pen and is not afraid of power. If the official position was not too small, he could have brought earth-shaking changes to the Tang Dynasty. Although Cao Ye made no achievements in politics, he became a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty. He is from Guangxi. Because of Cao Ye, he created the poetic style of Guangxi.

Later generations spoke highly of Cao Ye. From his poems, we can also see that he is a man of steel. Fortunately, Tang Xuanzong didn't blame him for being outspoken. It is also a question whether Cao Ye can save his life if he were replaced by other emperors in the history of the Tang Dynasty. During the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty seemed to have made some progress. Although the client countries were independent, they enjoyed peace for some time. What about another period? Rule by the masses? .

In a word, Cao Ye dared to satirize the imperial court. First, as a small official, he can't change the status quo, so he can only talk in poetry. Second, Tang Xuanzong was very tolerant and didn't blame him. However, being outspoken is also a helpless move. If it could be changed by hand, Cao Ye would not use poetry to accuse the world of desolation and hardship.
