Creation background
Ji Hai's Miscellaneous Poems was written in A.D. 1839 (the 19th year of Daoguang) when Gong Zizhen resigned and returned to his hometown. From April 23rd to February 26th of the lunar calendar, there were 3 15 poems, all of which belonged to seven-character quatrains (some of which were out of tune), and they were the largest group of poems in the history of China's poetry.
It can be said that in this group of poems, Ding An showed his complicated and charming inner world to the people at that time and to the later generations. To study Gong Zizhen and his literary achievements, Ji Hai's miscellaneous poems should be the most important.
This article is the ninety-sixth poem of Ji Hai's Miscellaneous Poems. This is the last appearance of the images of "sword" and "Xiao" in Ding An's poems, and it is also a summary of his deep feelings for "sword and Xiao" in his life. "Sword" and "Xiao" are two sides of the same coin, which constitute two inseparable levels of Ding An's spiritual world. He also reflected on the fate of "Jian" and "Xiao" many times.
But this time is different. The poet used the word "destroy" bluntly. The so-called "young people are sad, depressed and ignorant" (Ji Hai Miscellaneous Affairs 142), he really realized the end of Xiao Xin's "elimination". The poem ends with "desolation" and "sadness and joy in middle age", but a complex situation of emotional ups and downs is endless and enduring.
