The original text of the ancient poem "Blowing the Horn to the Emperor":
Horn, suona,
The tune is small, but the cavity is very big.
The communication between officials and ships is chaotic,
The price increase is up to you.
The army is worried about this,
People are afraid of it,
Where can I tell the truth from the truth?
I saw it blow the house down,
Blow up that house,
The blown water is gone!
Translation:
Trumpet and suona,
Although the song is small, it has a big accent.
The official ship was in chaos,
The price increase depends entirely on you.
The soldiers listened to their concerns,
People are scared when they hear it.
Where can I tell the truth from the false?
Watching this family be forgotten,
Blow up that family again,
Blow the water dry again and the geese will fly away!

On the first floor of this poem, it is said that the trumpet and suona are characterized by "small tunes and big cavities", which is the most prominent feature of the trumpet. The contrast between "small" and "big" also reveals the author's love and hate. A word "cavity" tells the similarities between trumpet and eunuch, and vividly depicts the ugly essence of those corrupt officials. The second layer of the poem is about the function of the horn and the suona, which is to raise the sound price for official ships like hemp, that is, official use. "Sound price", that is, the reputation status, should be objectively evaluated; But here we want to "lift", which means that the characters of speakers and suona are humble. Eunuchs put on airs, and their voices were all raised with loudspeakers. Trumpet can raise the price of sound because it conveys the will of the emperor. The spearhead refers to a deeper level. It also hinted at its face. The third layer in the poem shows the other side of the use of the horn suona: it harms the army and the people, that is, it arbitrarily infringes on the interests of the army and the people while raising the price of official ships, making the people shudder at the sound of the horn suona. At the last layer of the poem, I wrote a trumpet and played a suona. As a result, this family was blown over and that family was injured until the people were in poverty and the family was ruined. The whole song of the trumpet is vivid and convincing.
This poem was written by the author after witnessing the evil deeds of eunuchs traveling on the canal, and what was it pinned on? Trumpets are different from eunuchs, but they are similar to eunuchs in that they are "big in tune" and "small in ability and big in position". Therefore, the work is looking for * * * between things and people. The author actually sings the trumpet according to the eunuch's face: it is characterized by bravado, is an accomplice of the government to harm the people, and is arrogant everywhere, provoking the military and civilians. While exposing the darkness of the reality that eunuchs harmed the people, the author also issued a warning to the supreme ruler, and the voice of criticism was sharp. Therefore, the ideological connotation of this poem is rich and profound.
This work is not an ode to things, but its profound insight into the real society and strong emotional color are conveying a voice of resistance, and these ideological connotations are contained in the ode to things. The work is criticizing eunuchs for harming the people, but in the end it is self-defeating. The conclusion is left to the reader to think, which is both stirring and subtle. This is "never leave".
