Third, appreciation
Liu Yuxi's Preface to Hanging Zhang Qujiang said that after Zhang was demoted, he "had the thought of being imprisoned, satirizing birds and sending words to grass trees, and was unhappy with the poet." This is what people say. It is also appropriate to use this passage to comment on Gui Yan Shi, which is a work of "satirizing birds".
The poem begins with Haiyan's "slight sorrow", implying that the poet himself came from humble origins, and came from the people, unlike Li Linfu, who was born in luxury. The phrase "come in spring" shows that you will temporarily come to the imperial court to be an official in the age of enlightenment. If the swallow comes in spring and goes in autumn, it will not stay long. In the middle four sentences, the swallow didn't know the meanness of "mud", but when he saw the "Jade Hall" open, he went in and out several times a day, holding mud as a nest to hide himself in the imperial court, working hard day and night and running dismally. "Embroidered household", "Huatang" and "Yutang" are all metaphors of the imperial court. The last sentence is a warning to Li Linfu: I have no intention to compete with you for power and profit. You don't have to be suspicious and slander me. I'm retiring. At that time, power had fallen into the hands of Li Linfu, and Zhang Jiuling knew that he could not make a difference. He had to give in, but it was not without complaints and regrets.
This metrical poem is neat in antithesis, simple in language and light in style, like "light in practice" (Zhang Shuo comments on Zhang Jiuling dialect). It is called "Ode to Things", which is actually expressing feelings. It describes not only swallows but also people, and it is a self-portrait of Zhang Jiuling. The author's artistic ingenuity is mainly manifested in his choice of an external object that can best describe his own image-the swallow. Every poem does not leave the swallow, but it does not stick to the swallow, reaching the artistic realm of inseparable.

v. Zhang Jiuling's other poems
Feeling, looking at the moon and thinking of one far away, Feeling, Lake Mouth Looking at Lushan Waterfall, Feeling. Sixth, the background
Ruan read Volume 17 of "The Turtle in Poetry Talk" and quoted Miscellanies of the Ming Emperor, saying that Zhang Jiuling was in the phase and had the sincerity to bow to bandits. The Ming emperor was lazy in politics, and Li Linfu slandered him. Fang Qiu, the Ming emperor asked Gao Lishi to give a white feather fan. At the age of nine, he wrote "Poems of Returning to Yan", which made Lin Fu feel embarrassed. Judging from the skills mentioned above, this poem should be written on the eve of Zhang Jiuling's strike. The author was a famous figure during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Kaiyuan (713-741), and was famous for speaking out and daring to remonstrate. Because of Li Linfu's slander, Xuanzong gradually alienated Zhang Jiuling. In 736 AD (the 24th year of Kaiyuan), Zhang Bei went on strike, and Gui Yan Shi was written in the autumn of this year.
