The scene described by Ge Tan mainly took place in a rural area in the south of ancient China. The fields here are vast and rice is abundant, and farmers are busy harvesting crops. This poem describes the scene of farmers' hard work and their yearning for a better life. First of all, the poem depicts a lush kudzu vine, wrapped around bamboo, forming a green barrier.
Yellow birds are flying in the bushes. Their songs describe a group of orioles flying happily among the branches. They gathered in the bushes and gave a pleasant cry. The oriole symbolizes a beautiful life and a happy atmosphere here. Wang is very anxious and worried about my parents. Tan Chegui and Jia expressed the poet's concern and anxiety about national politics.
