After passing the imperial examination
Tang Mengjiao
In the past, it is not enough to boast about being sordid, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts.
The spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hoof disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

Poetic
The embarrassment of the past is not worth talking about anymore, but today I am free and my imagination is boundless.
It is the spring breeze that makes people's horses' hooves brisk, and they can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Appreciation
This poem directly expresses his own mood at the beginning, describing the past difficulties in life and ideological embarrassment that are no longer worth mentioning, and vividly depicts the poet's high spirits. His proud attitude expressed his elated pride heartily. The magic of these two sentences lies in the meeting of emotion and scenery, which vividly and vividly depicts the proud scene of the poet galloping on the Chang'an Road where spring flowers bloom. According to the Tang Dynasty system, the Jinshi examination was held in the autumn, and the results were released in the spring of the following year. It can be seen that the spring breeze blowing and seeing flowers immediately is the actual situation.
The popularity of the poetic image of three or four sentences is inseparable from its symbolic meaning, in addition to its positive and hearty expression of a moment of joy. The so-called "spring breeze" is not only the spring breeze in nature, but also a symbol of the suitable political climate that the poet feels can make a lot of difference. The so-called "satisfaction" includes both the self-satisfaction after passing the Jinshi examination, and the complacency of achieving one's life aspirations and looking forward to the future. Therefore, the artistic image displayed in the poem is not limited to Meng Jiao himself, who galloped on the Chang'an Road in the spring breeze after passing the Jinshi examination, but also an artistic image of universal significance as time passes and he drives on the ideal road. In this way, the individual and the general, the bright and the implicit, are unified in this poem, giving the poem a greater ideological and artistic capacity, which is both concrete and vivid, yet general, clear and smooth, yet uniquely emotional.
The first two sentences of the poem contrast the troubled past with the proud present, expressing the frustration that has been pent up in my heart for many years. At this time, the poet was elated and elated. The last two sentences truly depict the poet's feeling of pride after passing the exam. The post-high school poet was riding in Chang'an, feeling that everything was infinitely beautiful, even the beautiful flowers on the roadside had no intention of looking closely. "Seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" seems to mean that I have enjoyed all the beautiful scenery in the world on this day, which brings a bright and brisk ending to the heroic poem. In this poem, the poet meets his feelings and scenery, and expresses his thoughts and feelings. He not only vividly depicts his proud state after high school, but also expresses his proud feelings vividly and vividly, with a bright and expressive yet unique emotional charm. As a result, these two lines of poetry have become famous lines that people love throughout the ages, and have derived two idioms, "The spring breeze is proud" and "Wandering around to see the flowers", which have been passed down to later generations.
