2, meaning: just empty talk in the middle of the night, which makes people feel embarrassed. Emperor Wen asked all about ghosts and gods, and made no mention of state affairs and people's livelihood.
3. Revealed the fatuous characteristics of the late Tang emperor who sought immortality by medicine, wasted political affairs and ignored people's livelihood.
This poem is full of irony, profound and powerful. While sympathizing with Jia Yi's lack of talent, he expressed the sadness that the author himself was politically excluded and his ambition was hard to pay.

There are two opinions about the writing age of this poem. One is "Poems on Life in Yuxi". Note: "This poem was written by Li Shangyin in the first month of the second year of Dazhong (848), and was ordered by Zheng Ya, the secretariat of Guangxi, to go to Zhaozhou as a magistrate.
Because Li Shangyin is the head of a county, he has to sacrifice great events, so he wrote this poem with the title. Another view was put forward by Liu Yang, who believed that this poem was written in March and April of the second year of Dazhong, when Li Shangyin left Guilin and stayed in Beijing. (See Biography of Li Shangyin)
Li Shangyin, the author of this poem, lived in the late Tang Dynasty, which was in decline. He was deeply dissatisfied with the fatuity of the emperor, the eunuch's power and the domineering of the buffer region. Moreover, Li Shangyin was involved in the party struggle between Niu and Li, and was repeatedly excluded.
Therefore, he expressed his feelings by hanging Jia Yi, and satirized the behavior of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Although he could seek the virtuous, he did not know the virtuous, which reflected the social reality of the late Tang Dynasty-that is, the emperors of the late Tang Dynasty, like Emperor Wen, seemed to be enlightened, but in fact they were groggy and incompetent.
