Zhuan Xu "I don't know the mud, Yutang is open." This couplet inherits the association of "Swallow". In the sentence "I don't know how to be cheap", "cheap" refers to a villain like Li. Swallows build their nests with mud, but they don't know the meanness of "mud" Here, the poet takes this opportunity to imply that he doesn't know much about villains like Li. A word "base" not only describes Li's humbleness, but also shows the poet's dislike of such people. As the saying goes, "I saw the Jade Hall open", which is the Jade Hall, also known as the palace. This implies that the court. Here, the poet takes swallows in and out of the Jade Hall, holding mud as a nest, which means that he works day and night in the court. Poets use things to describe people, which is not only vivid, but also implicit, which not only causes readers to think, but also gives readers room for aesthetic imagination.
Necklace couplets "Embroiderers enter twice, Huatang returns several times a day" are closely related to the "Jade Hall opens the light" in parallel prose couplets. In the binary opposition, I showed my loyalty and generosity to the imperial court. The words "embroidered household", "Huatang" and "Yutang" in the poem are all metaphors to the imperial court. "Shuang" refers to the poet and Li. "Double entry" refers to entering the court every day (referring to the poet and Li). Here, the poet shows that he doesn't regard Li as an enemy, which shows that the poet is selfless for the court, and also shows that the poet has an open mind towards the court and the country. The sentence "several times a day in Huatang" means going in and out several times a day. Here, the poet shows the busy scene of work through quantifiers-coming and going in a hurry, but also shows his loyalty to the court.
The couplet "no intention to argue with things, no guess between eagles" shows the poet's loyalty to the court and forgets his feelings. The sentence "I have no intention to argue with things" means that I have no mind and energy to argue with foreign things. In fact, it shows that the poet worked hard and served the court. The last sentence "eagles don't guess each other", "eagle" refers to "eagle" and "eagle", and also refers to raptors in general. Here, on the surface, the poet's "Raptor" is actually a warning to Li and others. I have no intention of competing with you for power and profit, so I don't need to be suspicious, let alone slander (maybe I will retire one day). "Xiang" means that one party takes action against the other party and the action is issued by the other party. At that time, the imperial power had fallen into Li's hands. Zhang Jiuling knew that he could do nothing and had to give in, but his heart was full of complaints and regrets. This is just as Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said after Zhang Jiuling was demoted in Preface to Hanging Zhang Qujiang: "I have the thoughts of detaining prisoners, satirizing birds and sending messages to grass trees, and I am depressed with the poet." It can be seen that Zhang Jiuling, a poet, is sober and wise in the face of a strong enemy, and he also sees Zhang Jiuling's cleverness in literary creation-using things as metaphors to describe people, and using them implicitly.
In a word, Zhang Jiuling's Gui Yan Shi is a regular poem with neat antithesis, simple language and light style. It is called chanting things, but it is actually lyrical, showing extremely superb aesthetic artistic techniques.
