Description:
Liu Yuxi's poem "Appreciating Peony" says that only peony is the real national color, and the capital moves when flowers bloom, which means that only peony is the real national color and the most beautiful flower. When the flowers bloom, their grand occasion sensationalized the whole capital.
Through anthropomorphic comparison and suppression of others, the whole poem affirms the status of peony as the "real national color" in the flower world, truly shows the sensational effect of peony in Beijing in that year, and contains the ideal personality spirit in the poet's heart.
The original "Peony Appreciation":
The peony in front of the courtyard is enchanting and gorgeous but lacking in bones, and the lotus in the pool is elegant, clean and boring. Only the peony is the real beauty, which attracted countless people to appreciate at the flowering stage and alarmed the whole Chang 'an City.
Translation:
The peony in front of the courtyard is enchanting and gorgeous but lacks bone feeling, and the lotus in the pool is elegant and clean but lacks emotion. Only peony is the true national color of Tian Zi. In the flowering season, it attracted countless people to appreciate and shocked the whole capital.

The author's literary achievements:
1, poetry
Liu Yuxi's landscape poems changed the narrow-minded and desolate style of Dali and Zhenyuan poets, but often wrote a half-empty and half-solid open scene of beyond space's real distance. Liu Yuxi's poetry is clear because of its implicit and deep connotation, open and generous realm and lofty and upward emotion.
2. On the paper.
Liu Yuxi's article is the greatest achievement of argument. One is a monograph, which covers philosophy, politics, medicine, calligraphy, calligraphy and other aspects. Liu Yuxi's prose, like his poems, is beautiful in rhetoric and implicit in theme. Liu Zongyuan said that he was "Wen Juan's cream, with endless aftertaste, becoming more and more popular", which was an evaluation of Ken in Shenzhen.
3. Cifu
Most of Liu Yuxi's ci and fu were written in the period of relegation, so the sadness of chasing officials and the lack of talents became the important themes of his ci and fu creation, and the resentment was his main emotional sustenance, and the Confucian thought of saving the world also ran through it. Many scenes and emotional contents described in his poems also appear in his ci and fu works.
