Overall appreciation
The traditional Chinese poetry advocates implicitness and implication. Yan Yu, a poetry critic in the Song Dynasty, proposed four taboos in poetry: "Avoid direct language, avoid shallow meaning. Avoid exposed pulse, avoid short taste." Shi Buhua, a Qing Dynasty man, also said that "avoid direct and noble music" in poetry. However, the performance characteristics of Li Bai's "Gift to Wang Lun" are: frank, direct, and rarely implicit.
Its "speech is straightforward", its "pulse is exposed", and its "meaning" is not shallow and the taste is stronger. When ancient people wrote poems, it was generally taboo to address people by name in their poems, as they thought it was tasteless. "To Wang Lun" begins with the poet calling him by his own name, and ends with calling the other party's name, which makes it seem sincere, cordial, free and easy, and full of affection.
