Are there any ancient poems describing the ups and downs of official career?

Hechongtian

Liu Yong

On the gold list, I lost hope.

How to be a temporary legacy of the Ming Dynasty?

If the wind of trying is gone, do you want to swim wildly?

There's no need to talk about mourning.

A talented scholar and poet naturally wears white clothes.

Yanhua alley is a stranger, as Danqing barrier.

Fortunately, there are people in the right place, I can look for them.

And snuggle up to the red and lean on the green, have an affair, and life is smooth sailing.

Youth is in one day.

Endure the superficial name and sing shallowly!

My name is not on the gold list, and I accidentally lost my hope of being the top scholar. In the Qingming Festival, talents are temporarily left behind. How can I treat the trauma of my heart? If you can't show your talents and realize your ambitions, then you are indulging yourself. What's more, I care about gains and losses! I am a talented poet, and I should be a beauty in white.

In the misty alley, a gorgeous and elegant Danqing barrier looms. Fortunately, the beautiful women with bosom friends in Italy are the most worthy of my visit. Let's just say that this kind of relationship is enough to make my life comfortable. Beautiful youth is so short, but it is only a moment. Or endure some hardships, change the name of the gold list into a small wine and sing it in time!

Appreciation of Liu Yong's Ci

This word embodies Liu Yong's rebellious character and also brings a great turning point in his life. According to legend, Liu Yong is good at writing vulgar characters, while Song Renzong is quite literary. On one occasion, when Song Renzong posted a list in Lin Xuan, he remembered the phrase "endure superficial singing, change to shallow singing" in Liu Yong's first poem and said, "Let's go to shallow singing, why not superficial singing", so he was dismissed. From then on, Liu Yong claimed to be "Liu Sanbian who was ordered to write lyrics", wandering in workshops and songs for a long time, looking for the direction of life and spiritual sustenance among the flowers and willows.
