Partridge, produced in southern China, looks like a female pheasant and is as big as a pigeon. It is called "hooking up", which is very similar to "inseparable from brothers", so the ancients often used its voice to express the feelings of customers. Zheng Gu's ode to the partridge does not emphasize modeling, but focuses on verve. It was by grasping this that he came up with the idea of dropping ink.

At the beginning, the habits, feather color and shape of partridges are written. Partridges are "afraid of frost and dew, and will come out sooner or later" (Notes of Cui Baogu today). "Warm play is full of smoke, and weeds are blooming", starting with the word "warm", we can see the habits of partridges. The word "jinyi" also gives the partridge colorful and eye-catching feathers. In the poet's mind, the elegant charm of partridge can even be juxtaposed with the beautiful pheasant. Here, the poet did not describe the image of partridge in detail, but wrote about its playful activities and comparison with pheasants to make the finishing point, thus inspiring people's rich associations.

The first couplet chants its shape, and then its sound. However, the poet does not simply copy his voice, but deliberately expresses the resulting sadness and sadness. Caoqing Lake, or Baqiu Lake, is located in the southeast of Dongting Lake. Huangling Temple, near the North Dongting Lake in Xiangyin County. Legend has it that Shun Di made a southern tour and died in Cangwu. Two concubines from the levy, drowned in the Xiangjiang River, and later generations set up a temple at the water's edge, called Huangling Temple. In this area, Li is also the place where Qu Yuan lives, so it is the easiest for people who move here to cause their worries. Such a special environment is enough for people to imagine and imagine, and the poet is shrouded in a deep sadness: the rain falls red. Yehe Yesi is fascinated by the sound of rain and falling flowers, forming a sad and distant artistic conception and rendering a heartbreaking atmosphere. At this moment, partridges who are afraid of frost and dew and cold can't play freely and can only lament. However, "after the rain, flowers cry at Huangling Temple", which is repeated over and over again, seems to be like a wanderer recruiting people to set foot in a lonely and desolate place and listening to the cries of partridges. The partridge's voice and attractive feeling are completely integrated. The beauty of these two sentences lies in writing the charm of partridges. The author didn't draw its sound or shape, but the reader seems to hear its sound, see its shape and deeply feel its charm. In this regard, Shen Deqian said with appreciation: "Poems about objects are not as beautiful as verve, and three or four words are not as beautiful as' hook and loop'. Poets call this "partridge Zheng" (Tang Poetry), which shows the mystery of these two poems.

Five or six sentences seem to be written by partridges against people, but in fact, every sentence is inseparable from the voice of partridges, which is quite clever. "A wanderer's sleeves get wet" comes from the word "crow" in the previous sentence, and "a good man croons" is also caused by the sound of partridges. The beauty is undoubtedly singing the word "partridge", which is a sad tone that imitates the voice of partridge. Facing the falling flowers and the evening rain, I miss my husband who has been away for a long time. I couldn't help singing "The Partridge", but I couldn't help myself. The poet chose two details: a wanderer crying at the sound, and a talented person frowning at the sound, and emphasized them with two function words: "love at first sight" and "talented person", which effectively set off the sadness of partridge crying. In the poet's pen, the partridge cry has become the song of lovesickness of tall buildings and the song of heartbroken wanderers. Here, people's wailing and birds' wailing complement each other, each with its own splendor; The two complement each other and complement each other.

The last couplet reads: "Xiangjiang River is wide, and bitter bamboos are deep in the west." The poet's pen and ink are more muddy. The voice of "I can't live without my brother" echoed on the vast river. Are flocks of partridges singing in a low voice, or are beautiful wanderers echoing "singing" and "smelling"? This is quite imaginative. "Xiangjiang River is Wide" and "The Sun is Sunset" make the partridge sound more and more sad and the scene more and more deserted. Those partridges who are afraid of the cold are busy looking for warm nests among bitter bamboos, but when can the wanderers who walk alone by the river return to their hometown? The last one is far from the gods, although the words are endless, revealing the poet's strong homesickness. In Qing Dynasty, Jin Shengtan thought that the last sentence was "Legacy is deeper than Prosperity" (Selected Poems of Tang Caizi by Shengtan), which was very insightful. The poet firmly grasps the emotional connection between man and partridge, while eulogizing partridge focuses on conveying charm, integrating man and partridge, and the conception is exquisite and meticulous. No wonder everyone knows the "warning".
