The tail couplet was written to the frontier fortress, but the general officer was not met. The scout told the envoy that the first general was at the front line. This poem not only reflects the frontier life, but also expresses the feelings of loneliness, loneliness and sadness caused by the exclusion of the poet, as well as the generous and tragic feelings generated after the emotion was edified, purified and sublimated in the majestic scenery of the desert, showing an open-minded feeling.

The poet compares Peng with Yan, saying that he came out of Han, and entered Hu. In ancient poetry, the flying canopy is often used as a metaphor for wandering wanderers, but here it is a metaphor for a minister with a court mission, who is secretly writing the poet's inner anger and depression. It echoes the "bicycle" in the first sentence. Wan Li's trip only took ten words.
