"Lean on the east wind crazy. These seven words describe the posture of a willow tree, which is obviously an allusion to the villain's "madness when he succeeds". "
Ceng Gong (1019-1083) was a famous writer, historian and politician in the northern song dynasty. Ceng Gong's literary achievement is the highest with articles, and he was named one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties by later generations, and was praised as "Mr. Nanfeng" by the world.
However, his poems also have a high level, and this willow-chanting song is one of his masterpieces. Ordinary people chant willows, which are often used to pin their love for each other and sigh and leave. However, Ceng Gong's poem "Chanting Willow" has a unique style, which has shaped the willow into a villain who becomes crazy when he becomes famous.
Chanting Willow is a seven-character quatrain written by Ceng Gong, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. With the help of the east wind, this object-chanting poem depicts the image of willow dancing wildly and catkins covering the sky, warning that it is the time when willow leaves wither after the autumn frost comes.
This poem satirizes and severely criticizes those little people who rely on powerful people to get carried away politically, pointing out that although they can be crazy for a while, they will eventually fail. The whole poem is a metaphor for images, objects and philosophies. The satire is obvious but not superficial and straightforward, with profound implications and thought-provoking.

willow
Chaos is not yet yellow, leaning against the east wind.
I wonder if there is frost in heaven and earth.
