Different in all directions, thousands of miles of wind and rain.
The play is for people at the border, and grass is given.
A wife is like an animal, whose behavior is blocked by the forest.
When Chai Men is depressed, foxes and rabbits fly around my room.
Translation of works
The climate in all directions is different, and thousands of miles of wind, frost, rain and snow are different.
People living by the sea have a hard life, and generally live in grass houses in the wild.
My wife and children have no clothes to wear like wild animals and live in this dangerous mountain forest every day.
There are no fireworks in every household, and foxes and hares are running around the house.

works appreciation
Fu Liangxing, by means of sketching, reflects the dilapidated and desolate scene of the coastal countryside and shows the author's deep sympathy for the lower classes.
"Different in all directions, different in thousands of miles of wind and rain" is the foil of "playing for the benefit of the border people". Although the situation varies from place to place, the most difficult thing is the "coastal people". These three sentences "send my body" actually describe the miserable life of "frontier fortress people". They are not in the "weeds" and live an inhuman life. Eat alive, build nests and dig holes, so say "like an animal"; They dare not come out for fear of being found and taken away. They drill in the mountains every day, so they say, "Stop by the forest." The word "Yi" shows the practical activities and fears of refugees. They want to survive by gathering food in the forest. They want to hide in dangerous ravines. They are afraid to expose their tracks, stay outside Lin Mang during the day and dare not shout with naked fire at night. "Why is Chai Men depressed? The fox and rabbit fly in my room" is the essence of the whole poem. It is a very sad reality that fugitives haunt the mountains every day and compete with foxes and rabbits for food and shelter, but because they are uninhabited, they become foxes and rabbits to jump freely and indulge themselves. These two sentences expand the connotation of the whole poem, which not only makes people want to see the tears of refugees fleeing, but also makes people see a broader social picture of barren production and desolate villages; It also expands the realm of the whole poem. The first three sentences are the scene in the poet's eyes, and these two sentences are the imagination of the people in the poem. The short eight-sentence poem, with this stroke, adds a layer of twists and turns and a group of images, which is a good structure of controlling more with less. Unfortunately, this point has been ignored, thinking that these two sentences are also like the tragic life of "coastal people", and with the first three sentences, they write the desolation of living; Imagine, the "coastal people" who live in animals are sighing for "foxes and rabbits flying in my room". In this way, the content and image of the poem suddenly faded, so the poem is not about "frontier fortress people", but about "people" who fled to the frontier fortress, which makes people unable to understand.
Cao Zhi once advised Cao Rui to "save corvee, pay less taxes and cultivate mulberry" in "Xieliaodong Table", and now he directly appeals to people's livelihood suffering with poems. Jian 'an poets have few subjects that reflect the life of the lower class, so this poem is more valuable.
