1, Du Fu's "Long Guest"-He Zudao fox, jackal.
Appreciation: The background of this poem is the Anshi Rebellion, when the society was in turmoil and thieves were rampant. Du Fu, a poet, has been wandering abroad for a long time and experienced all kinds of pains brought by war. Here, the poet uses "fox" and "wolf and tiger" as metaphors to describe the wicked people in society at that time and express his hatred for these wicked people and his concern about the current situation.
2, Gao Zhu "Qingming Day Wine"-When the sun sets, the fox sleeps in front of the grave, in the dead of night, the children smile at the lights.
Appreciation: This poem takes the fox as the symbol of Tomb-Sweeping Day and depicts a natural picture of life and death alternation. The fox represents desolation and sadness, which is in contrast with the warm family scene of "returning to children at night and laughing under the lamp", and expresses the poet's helplessness to life and death.
3, Du Fu's "Goose in front of the boat"-the fox is helpless in the scattered city.
Appreciation: The fox here implies the poet's loneliness and helplessness. In the twilight of the layered city described by the poet, the loneliness after parting and the image of the fox set each other off, expressing the poet's loss and hesitation after the prosperity disappeared.
4, Yuan Zhen's "Lianchang Palace Ci"-from then on, foxes came home every night.
Appreciation: The "fox" here is actually a metaphor for those who are good at flattery. During the Tang Dynasty, Lianchang Palace was an important place for many officials to have activities. Through this poem, Yuan Zhen described the ugly behavior of these officials in Lianchang Palace and expressed his satire and disgust at them.
5, Wang Mian's "Jizhou Road"-frozen birds gather thin, foxes scream and die.
Appreciation: The fox here represents desolation and loneliness. The poet described the desolate scene of Jizhou Road with the howl of the fox among the dead branches and leaves, and expressed the loneliness in the poet's journey.
6, Han Yu's "illness"-eat fish when eating, stay overnight to prevent foxes.
Appreciation: This poem describes the poet Han Yu's perception of life during his illness. By describing his changing living habits in order to take care of patients, he ate less fish in the morning and had to guard against foxes at night, which showed the poet's tenacity and persistence in life and his helplessness in hard life.
