In the poems, the author used many vivid metaphors and strong contrasts to expose and satirize the corruption and darkness of the society at that time with sharp and sharp language, so the last two poems have the significance of summing up, strong philosophy, concise philosophy, generalization, thought-provoking and thought-provoking.
The first sentence begins with "the river is clear, and life cannot be delayed". According to legend, the Yellow River was only cleared once in a thousand years, and the ancients often used "the river is clear and the sea is dark" as a metaphor for political clarity. No matter how long people live, they can't wait until Huang Heqing. This implicitly and indignantly reveals that politics in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely corrupt and hopeless. Coincidentally, Zhang Heng, a great scientist and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, also lamented in Returning to Tianfu that "once the river is clear, it will not be ready". This may be the general view of progressive literati on current politics at that time. Poets use it at the beginning of poetry, and its meaning is clear and profound. In the last six sentences, three groups of figurative images are used to describe the unreasonable phenomena in the society at that time. "When the wind blows, the rich are called sages." Spineless little people fall with the wind, regardless of right or wrong. As long as he has money, he is praised as a saint. Because of this, "although full of literary works, it is better to have a bag of money." The strange phenomenon of "dirty against the door" can only breed and exist in Yiyou Beitang. A full belly of knowledge is not worth a pocket of money. What a sharp and spicy contrast! The ugliness and injustice caused by that era were vividly exposed to readers, causing people's disgust and dissatisfaction.
The second song further expresses the author's cynical and terminally ill thoughts and feelings. The first four sentences continue to satirize the reality of black and white inversion with other sentences and metaphors. "Every family has its own history, and the saliva it coughs up makes its own pearl" satirizes the shameless snob and the arrogance of the rich and powerful. Ridiculous and abusive, hit the nail on the head. Similar to the first song "Nothing happens, the rich call the virtuous", which is more bitter and spicy. "Golden jade in brown, orchids change" mainly emphasizes poor and upright people, although their status is low, but their moral quality is noble and they are knowledgeable. But in that society that suppresses talents, they are buried and unable to show their talents. The author further lamented the exposure of darkness, saying that people with lofty ideals can not be used, but are suppressed and excluded. The author is a Geng Jie, and his talent makes him angry. He was persecuted by giants. Although recommended by celebrities and recruited by the government, he refused to go out. So the author finally shouted, "Although the sages are lonely, they are trapped in a group of fools. And keep your score, don't drive in vain. Alas, this is a life-saving husband! " Although this reveals the loneliness of "everyone is drunk, I wake up alone" and some negative and pessimistic emotions, it is more of a disappointment and anger after the social darkness was revealed at that time, which is thought-provoking.
These two poems use more allusions, but they are both vivid and flexible. For example, life is implicit, the popularity of grass is reversed, wealth is a proverb, coughing up pearls is a change of heart, being influenced by Brown and Whelan is a change of purpose, and "life is a husband" is irony. In poetry, saints and fools, rich people, integrity and flattery, knowledge and money, power and truth, and so on. The contrast is so sharp that it makes people sigh, and their hatred of vulgarity and cynicism is unstoppable, beyond words and throughout.
At the end of the article, an original summary of the whole article is made in the form of "nonsense" and "inquiry" Zhao Yi replaced it with two short five-character poems, which were imitated a lot in the Six Dynasties. For example, Bao Zhao's Wu Cheng Fu, Jiang Yan's Hate Fu, Xiao Yi's Dangzi Qiu Si Fu and Lotus Picking Fu are all works. For example, in Yu Xin's Spring Fu, five-character and seven-character poems are sometimes mixed in the Fu, making the Fu more poetic. It can be seen that the breakthrough and innovation in artistic form of Zhao Yi's Ci on Stabbing the World is also enlightening to later generations.
