Jia Dao is a representative figure of "Bitter Poetry School" in Tang Dynasty. This five-line poem is a note poem added after Jia Dao's "Walking Alone in Counting Trees at the Bottom of the Pool" in another poem "Seeing No Man". The first two poems are about my own poems, which took a lot of effort and meticulous care. It took me three years to write two sentences (actually, three years is an imaginary number, just emphasizing that it took me a lot of time), and I couldn't help but burst into tears. Express the feeling of success and suffering after writing a poem. The last two sentences express a confident and conceited attitude. If these two poems are not appreciated by good friends, then "I will go back to my hometown" and never write any more poems.
Two sentences of "three years, one song and two tears" are the personal experience of Jia Dao's bitter poems. It shows that the poet's artistic labor is arduous, and it also shows that good poems and sentences are hard to come by. Jia Dao's bitter spirit has a great influence on later generations. For example, Fang Gan's "singing only five words, breaking a few stems", "singing five words, breaking the heart of life" and Lu Tingrang's "singing one word, breaking a few stems" are all from Jia Dao's poeticization.
