Analysis: In this poem, Liu Yuxi compares himself to a sunken ship and a sick tree. Although he is disappointed, he is very philosophical. On the side of the sunken ship, Qian Fan is competing; Before a sick tree, everything is spring. He excavated these two sentences from Bai Juyi's poems, but encouraged Bai Juyi not to grieve for his loneliness and waste, showing his open mind about the changes of the world and the rise and fall of his official career.
