Xixi Chuzhou: In the early Tang Dynasty, Wei was an honest poet and a good official who cared about people's livelihood. During his career as an official, he was "ill, thinking of his home in the country, embarrassed to get paid, and many people were idle" (To My Friends Li Dan and Yuan Xi), and he was often in the contradiction between being an official and retiring. He was worried about the political failure in the middle Tang Dynasty and felt guilty about the poverty of the people. He is unwilling to reform, but he is powerless to reform. He was in a dilemma and had to let nature take its course. Zhuangzi said: "Those who are smart and know are worried; Incompetent people want nothing but food and travel. If you don't tie the boat, you will do it in vain. " ("Zhuangzi. Lie Yu Kou) Wei has a deep understanding of this. He once made it clear that he is "a boat with a leaf that is not tied to his heart" ("Going from the public to the Yellow River and sending friends to the county"), saying that although he is worried about knowing, he is ashamed of incompetence, so his career is like a wanderer, doing nothing and being at ease. In fact, Xixi Chuzhou is to express such a contradictory and helpless situation and mood. I want to retire, so I pity the grass alone; Do nothing, just follow the current. Therefore, this poem reveals a calm mind and sad feelings.

This poem was written by the author in his later years when he was rejected and hit by the peace faction and retired to the countryside in Shangrao. Lyrics describe a peaceful, quiet, simple and comfortable life in rural areas, and cannot be said to be the author's whitewash of reality. Judging from the fact that the author has been paying attention to the restoration of the Song Dynasty, he yearns for such an idyllic life, which will further stimulate his patriotic enthusiasm for fighting against nomadic people, recovering the Central Plains and reunifying the motherland. As far as the situation at that time was concerned, this peaceful and quiet life also existed in villages far away from the anti-gold front. This work is not the product of the author's subjective imagination, but a reflection of real life.
