Creation background
This group of poems is considered to be the works of Emperor Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty in the second year (826).

The whole poem vividly shows that with the evolution of history, the prosperity of the nobles in the six dynasties palace has become a thing of the past, and there are both sympathy and allegory for the decline of emperors and princes who plot power. Poetry borrows the past to write the present, integrating emotion, scenery, events and reason. The scene is broad and profound, and it can be called an artistic treasure in Tang poetry.
Stone City is the first poem in the group. This poem describes that the old scene of the former site of Stone Town still exists, but the personnel have changed, and the luxury of the Six Dynasties no longer exists, which makes people feel infinite. Every sentence in the poem describes the scenery, and the author's subjective thoughts have no trace literally, but if he deeply tastes the scenery, he will have his own understanding. This poem reposes the poet's feeling that he was nowhere to be found in the past. The sound of the waves in Jiangcheng is still there, but the prosperous time is gone. The poet is nostalgic and lyrical, hoping that the monarch can learn from the past.
Wu Yixiang once won Bai Juyi's poem "Turn around and lament for a long time", which is one of Liu Yuxi's most proud masterpieces of nostalgia. The author grasps the characteristics of swallows as the nest of migratory birds, hints at the prosperity of Wuyi Lane in the past, and plays a role in highlighting the contrast between the present and the present.
Wuyi Lane focuses on the present situation of Wuyi Lane in artistic expression. Just a subtle hint of its past. The poet's feelings are hidden and hidden, which are contained in the description of the scenery. Therefore, although its scenery is ordinary and its language is simple, it has an implicit beauty that makes people memorable.
Taicheng is an ancient poem with the theme of Taicheng, the core of the ancient capital Jinling, where the emperors of the Six Dynasties lived in politics, expressing infinite feelings of mourning for the past and hurting the present. Combine arguments with concrete images to arouse people's rich associations. Let serious historical lessons turn into concrete images that shock the soul, and let poetry have infinite charm and make people think deeply.

Jiangling House is the last poem in the group, which is about Jiangling House. This poem is the author's expression of homesickness by hanging the remains of Jiang's hometown, pointing out that the reason for the demise of the Southern Dynasty is "confusing the minister with the words of the guest and losing the country".
