Extended information:
This article is the 135th poem of "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai". In a sense, it can be regarded as a poetic autobiography of Gong Zizhen. From the A-level subjects in high school to returning after tiredness, to the perfunctory and perfunctory treatment of "beautiful women like jade", the poet "Qi Qi Chu Ke, graceful Wu Nong", "Returning to cook books, the light is red, the tea smoke is about to disperse and the servant girl is thick" ( The ideal of "Enable Young Boys to Act" was finally realized in a helpless situation.
But this is another unpleasant destination. The poem uses the word "even" three times in a row, together with the beautiful words "beautiful woman" and "seeking spring", as if to indicate that all this is just "accidentally obtained by clever hands." However, the poet's bitter smile and sadness are still hidden between the lines. As the saying goes, "Writing sadness with joy is twice as sad as it is", Ding'an is well versed in the secret of this.
But this is a difficulty that ordinary readers can detect. Wang Guowei, a master of literary criticism, actually cannot feel it. In his famous work "Human Words", which is worshiped by many people, According to this poem, the poem accuses him of "his thin and incompetent behavior, which is reflected in the paper and ink."

I will not shed tears today, but I will only blame my eyebrows when I cross the river. "The meaning of this article is exactly the same, and the techniques are all in their own way, so they can be read side by side.
