Extended data

First, the creative background

Fu Liangxing on Mount Tai uses the old name of Yuefu to describe the hard life of people fleeing from the seaside. When this poem was written in Wei Mingdi, Cao Zhi was constantly moving and getting worse because of the persecution of Cao Pi and his son, but he was not "lost" and had not yet reached the point of hiding in the grass. In Cao Cao's time, corvees flourished and taxes were harsh. In order to avoid conscription, people often dare not stay at home and flee to the mountains. This poem is about this tragic scene.

Second, appreciate

A trip to Mount Tai reflects the dilapidated and desolate scene of the rural areas near the sea by line drawing, and shows the author's deep sympathy for the lower class. The whole poem adopts the methods of positive description and side contrast, which makes the miserable life picture of the seaside poor jump from the page, concise and profound.

Fu Liangxing on Mount Tai was originally an elegy, written by Cao Zhi with an old inscription, describing the poor life in remote areas. The whole poem is eight sentences, which is a short narrative song. This poem vividly describes the hard and poor life of the poor by the sea. They live in the wild and lead a savage life like animals. This is the only poem written by Cao Zhi that directly describes and reflects people's sufferings, which deserves attention.
