Translation: Who can you rely on after Wang Xi’s death? They had no choice but to fly away together with livestock such as chickens and ducks. It’s not necessarily that I will be slaughtered like you, it’s probably because I’m too thin and not as fat as you!
1. Original text
What will the right army rely on after his death? He can only follow the chickens to chase the ducks.
It may not necessarily involve our own sacrifice, but most of the time I will be thinner than you are fatter.

Tang Dynasty's Bai Juyi's "Eight Quatrains on the Crane: The Crane Answers the Goose"
Extended information:
The main themes are: One of the artistic features of Bai Juyi's allegorical poetry. He usually only chooses the most typical thing to highlight a theme, "One sad thing, one sad thing", the theme is very clear. In order to convey the theme to the readers more clearly, a small preface may be added under the title of the poem to highlight the theme, or the theme may be highlighted by "the final chapter showing the ambition".
Secondly, the artistic characteristics of white poetry are also reflected in the depiction of characters. He can grasp the characteristics of the characters and use the line drawing method to outline vivid and vivid characters. But the poetic meaning of Bai's poems is not simple. He often uses simple sentences to express allegorical meanings, and achieves shocking artistic effects.
