This poem is an innovation in genre. Every sentence rhymes to the end; Don't get up before, don't collect after; Eight people write side by side, the number of sentences is somewhat uneven, but two sentences are used in the head, tail and middle waist, and three or four sentences are used before and after, and there is still an order in the change. Of these eight people, He is the oldest, so he ranks first. Others follow the official rank, from princes and prime ministers to cloth clothes. Writing about eight people's drunkenness has its own characteristics, and writing about their drunkenness in a cartoon sketch way fully shows their unrestrained character after drunkenness and vividly reproduces the optimistic and open-minded spirit of the literati in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
