Appreciation of works:
It took three years of hard work to recite these two poems, which made me shed tears after reciting them. Those who know my music should know the pain of my poetry and the rarity of good verses. If people who understand my poetry don't appreciate it, I will disappear into my hometown and spend my remaining years without writing poetry again.
It shows the hardship and hard work of the poet's artistic work, and also shows that good poems and lines are hard to come by. Jia Dao's spirit of reciting has a great influence on later generations. For example, Fang Qian said: "Only when he recited a five-character sentence, he got a few white mustaches." "Broken stems and whiskers" are all derived from Jia Dao's poems.
