The failure of the "Qingli New Deal" depressed him; Putting it outside can get rid of the party struggle in the court, which is also a comfort to him. The article shows the author's complicated mood. In this paper, the word "music" runs through the whole article, frankly saying that "the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but also between mountains and rivers."
Put the inner anguish and anguish of political frustration and bumpy official career in the mountains and rivers, blend in with the people's happiness, and reflect the traditional Confucianism when depicting the beautiful picture of variety, beauty and charm, just as Shangshu said: "Virtue only makes good government, and politics nurtures the people." It shows his broad-minded feelings of taking things as they are and having fun with the people.
