Try the following comparison:

Look at the similarities between the two works first. Poetry and Ji talk about the same talent topic. "Poetry" uses horses to describe people, and "ten thousand horses" expresses a lot of talents. "Ten thousand horses together" symbolizes the reality that talents are suppressed and society is silent. The Record compares people with plum blossoms, compares the number of talents with "Longqi in Jiangning, Dengwei in Suzhou and Xixi in Hangzhou all produce plum blossoms", and compares the vast number of talents with "300 pots, all sick, none finished" and even "plum blossoms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all sick". Both of the two works adopt the expression technique of supporting objects, which euphemistically and tortuous expresses the author's attitude towards social reality. The two works are also very different. There is no need to elaborate on the great difference between genre and entrusted meaning. First of all, as far as the content is concerned, firstly, The Poem only describes the situation of "ten thousand horses are in harmony", while The Record not only describes the present situation of "plum blossoms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all sick", but also digs deep into the social roots of this situation: firstly, the standards and requirements of literati and painters are morbid; Secondly, "there are those who tell Mei in the seclusion of literati painters"; Then there is the destructive behavior of "people who are eager for money". In this way, "Ji" criticized the ideology of the feudal ruling class. Secondly, from the object of the author's message: "Poetry" places the hope of becoming a healthy person on "God" and hopes that "God is full of energy"; "Remembering" makes you bravely shoulder the burden of saving talents and allowing them to develop freely. "Being poor means living, while treating plum blossoms" and "being willing to be criticized". Thirdly, judging from the author's emotional attitude, the poem expresses the author's heavy sigh over the situation of "all horses are in harmony" and calls for social change and eclectic selection and appointment of talents; Records reveals the oppression and destruction of talents by the ruling class ideology, expresses the author's indignation and hatred, expresses the author's desire to lift the feudal bondage with his own personal struggle, and embodies the author's brave sacrifice spirit of "turning into spring mud to protect flowers". In addition, although "poetry" and "record" can be called "strong voice and strong feelings, wandering around", due to different genres, there are many differences in expression and meaning.
