It is better to write a literary evaluation of Liu Yuxi.
The word Mengde, born in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), is a descendant of the Huns. He was a poet and philosopher in the mid-Tang Dynasty. His family was a scholarly disciple handed down from generation to generation by Confucianism. He advocated innovation politically and was one of the central figures in the political innovation activities of the Wang Shuwen School. Liu Yuxi was deeply impressed, and with his talent, sensitivity and eagerness to learn, he learned extraordinary things from an early age. In the same year, he was admitted to the Scholar's Examination with Liu Zongyuan. Later, he was demoted to Langzhou Sima because he was not satisfied politically. Instead of indulging in self-indulgence, he wrote with a positive and optimistic spirit, actively learning from folk songs, and created poems imitating folk songs, such as Picking Ling Xing. Once he was sent back to Beijing by imperial edict, Liu Yuxi was angered by the poem "Xuandu Guanli Peach Thousand Trees, All of which were loaded after Liu Lang left" There, he wrote a lot of Zhuzhi Ci. There are many famous sentences, which are widely read. In the summer of 824, he wrote the famous thoughts of old time at west fort mountain: "Wang Jinlou went down to Yizhou, the royal ghost has pined in the city of Nanjing. Chihiro iron lock sank to the bottom of the river, and a stone fell out. cycles of change have moved into the past, Yamagata is still cold. Today, it is home to all the world, and the old forts fill with ruin and with autumn reeds." This poem is for future generations. Liu Yuxi was sent to Suzhou as a secretariat. At that time, there was a flood in Suzhou, and hunger was everywhere. After he took office, he opened a warehouse to relieve hunger, exempted taxes and reduced labor, and quickly made the people out of the disaster and live a life of peace and contentment. Suzhou people loved him and thanked him, so they called Wei Yingwu and Bai Juyi, who had served as secretariat in Suzhou, together with him, "Three Sages Hall", and the emperor also praised his achievements. He made friends and wrote poems, and lived a leisurely life. After his death, he was posthumously awarded as the minister of the Ministry of Finance. Liu Yuxi wrote "The Book of Humble Rooms", with 81 words in full text, but many people may not know that this masterpiece was written by Liu Yuxi in a fit of pique. In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), after Liu Yuxi was a scholar, he became an official to a prince guest. He was demoted to Anhui and Hezhou by Emperor Dezong. According to the regulations of the local government at that time, he should have lived in the official residence of three mansions in the yamen. However, the magistrate of Hezhou was a snob. When he saw Liu Yuxi demoted, he made many difficulties. First, he was arranged to live in the south gate of the county. Soon, he was asked to move to the north gate, from the original three rooms to one and a half rooms. Soon, he was asked to move to the city. Half a year later, he even moved. The whole family couldn't settle down at all. Liu Yuxi felt that the county magistrate was deceiving others too much, so he angrily wrote the article "The Inscription of Humble Rooms", and invited the great calligrapher Liu Gongquan to write a stone tablet and stand in front of the door to show his "commemoration". Liu Zongyuan, who was once a sensation in the ruling and opposition circles, was demoted to the secretariat of Liuzhou, Guangxi, and was a scholar with Liu Yuxi. When he read "Humble Rooms", his friendship was very deep. I immediately wrote to the imperial court asking, "I would rather exchange Liuzhou, where I was sent, for the state, even though I got a felony, but I don't hate it when I die." Although I was not allowed, I can see the noble quality of "knowing my bosom friend in adversity, and the literati are more close to each other."
