The poet saw the persimmon accompanied by faint sunshine and stars, and thought it was outstanding and lovely. He wanted to see the persimmon absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, which was beautiful. Persimmon, the essence of the sun and the moon, can preserve the sky beyond its own image or description.
Just like the poet's own experience, although he has experienced ups and downs all his life, he is determined and conscientious, thinking that everyone's purpose is to seek happiness and settle down. Although he is not as handsome as those generals, he is actually a force that can not be ignored to keep the country healthy and the people happy forever.
Original text of Liu Yuxi's Poem on Red Persimmon in Tang Dynasty:
At dawn, the stars appeared, and at night, the sun hung up.
This is a legacy, and it is self-protection.
Translation:
Look at its image under the starlight in the morning, and it hangs high on the branches at night, as if with the color of sunshine. It exists because it was missed when it was picked, but it can keep its original life.

Liu Yuxi's ears are full of knowledge. He is smart, sensitive and studious. He only learned from childhood and has extraordinary endurance. He 19 years old studied in Chang 'an and wrote to the imperial court. At the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to Jinshi in the same list as Liu Zongyuan, and was admitted to erudite macro words in the same year. ?
Later, because of political dissatisfaction, he was demoted to Langzhou Sima. Instead of indulging in self-indulgence, he wrote with a positive and optimistic spirit, actively learned from folk songs, and created poems imitating folk songs such as Picking Ling Xing. ?
On one occasion, Liu Yuxi returned to Beijing with a letter, and was demoted to Lianzhou secretariat because his poems offended the nouveau riche. Later, he was appointed as Jiangzhou Secretariat, and wrote a large number of Zhi Zhu Ci, many of which are famous. In the summer of 824, he wrote the famous Old Times of Xipaotai Mountain, which was greatly appreciated by later literary critics and regarded as a masterpiece of Tang poetry. ?
Later, after several transfers, Liu Yuxi was sent to Suzhou as a secretariat. At that time, Suzhou was flooded and there was hunger everywhere. After he came to power, he opened a warehouse to relieve hunger, exempted taxes and reduced labor, and soon brought the people out of the disaster and lived a life of peace and contentment. Suzhou people loved him and thanked him, so they called Wei and Bai Juyi, who had been the secretariat in Suzhou, "three sages" and established the hall of three sages. The emperor also praised his achievements and gave him a purple and gold fish bag. ?
Liu Yuxi returned to Luoyang in his later years, making guest appearances as a prince, making friends and writing poems, and living a leisurely life. After his death, he was posthumously appointed Minister of the Interior.
The Humble Room Inscription written by Liu Yuxi has a full text of ***8 1 with meticulous words. This masterpiece was written in anger by Liu Yuxi. ?
In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), Liu Yuxi became a distinguished guest of the Prince's seat after he was a scholar, and he also checked the history of the school, making his career prosperous. Later, he was exiled to Anhui and Zhou Zuoguan because he took part in Wang Yongzheng's political reform and offended the powerful ministers in the DPRK. According to the regulations of the local government at that time, he should live in the official residence of Yamen Miyake. However, Hezhou magistrate is a snob. When he saw Liu Yuxi being demoted, he made things difficult.
First, he was arranged to live in the south gate of the county. Soon, he was asked to move to the north gate, from the original three rooms to one and a half rooms. Soon, he was asked to move to the city. In the past six months, I have moved three times in a row, and the housing is getting smaller and more humble, and the whole family can't settle down at all. Liu Yuxi felt that the county magistrate was deceiving others too much. He angrily wrote the article "The Inscription of the Humble Room" and asked the great calligrapher Liu Gongquan to write an inscription and stand in front of the door as a "memorial", which made a sensation for a while. ?
Liu Zongyuan, who was demoted as the secretariat of Liuzhou, Guangxi, is a scholar in the same list as Liu Yuxi, who is paid for poetry and has a deep friendship. When he was reading "Humble Room Inscription", he learned that Liu Yuxi had been snubbed by snobs and was resentful. He immediately wrote to the court asking: "I'd rather trade my assigned Liuzhou for Hezhou, although I got a felony, but I don't hate it." Although it has not been approved, we can see the noble quality of "a friend in need is a friend indeed, and a scholar is more blind".
