Pipa Xing, written in the 11th year of Yuanhe (AD 8 16), is a seven-character ancient poem. When Bai Juyi was appointed as an admonition officer, he dared to speak out, sympathized with the sufferings of the people, wrote a lot of satirical poems, angered Tang Xianzong, offended dignitaries and was relegated. He was demoted, in fact, it was an unjust case, repeatedly hit, feeling sad, full of frustration and anger. The following year (in the 11th year of Yuan Dynasty), I saw Pukou, met a pipa girl, and wrote this famous song handed down from ancient times.
The poetic eye (theme) of Pipa Xing is "We are both unhappy-and heaven remains our neighbourhood. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? By writing about the misfortune of Pipa girl's life, and combining the poet's own blow to her career, she sang the voice of "We are both unhappy-we meet each other forever". We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? ”。
Social unrest, the indifference of the world, sympathy for the fate of the unfortunate, and feelings of frustration are all poured into the poem. Its artistic success also lies in the use of beautiful and distinctive language with musical sense, and the use of visual images to express the feelings gained by hearing; The natural scenery and parting of the bleak autumn wind make the work more touching.

The preface to Pipa Xing tells the time, place, characters and stories, summarizes the sad life experience of Pipa girl, explains the motivation of writing this poem, and sets a sad emotional tone for the whole poem.
In this poem, the poet made great efforts to shape the image of the pipa girl, profoundly reflecting the tragic fate of musicians and artists who were insulted and damaged in feudal society, and expressing the feeling that "neither of us is happy-we will grow old forever".
At the beginning of the poem, I wrote "seeing guests off in autumn night", "suddenly smelling" and "playing the pipa", so I asked for a voice "secretly asking" and "moving the boat" and invited to meet each other. After a long time, the singer came out with his mask half open. This kind of echo and tortuous description laid the foundation stone for the theme of "doomsday reduction"
Then through the description of the music played by the pipa girl, the inner world of the pipa girl is revealed. First of all, there is love in the unfinished music, and then there are strings, sounds and readings, which show the ups and downs of the pipa girl.
Then, she went on to write about the life of the pipa girl: her skills taught her to be "talented and obedient", her appearance was "the beauty envied by all major dancers", and the teenagers in Kyoto were "bound heads" and "a song has countless red silks". However, the description of time, such as resentment, longing and crying, and her "singing every night, beauty withers", finally had to "marry a businessman's wife" These songs complement each other and complete the shaping of the image of pipa girl.
Finally, the poet's emotional wave was inspired by the fate of the pipa girl, and he sighed: "We are all unhappy-we meet forever. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? " Expressed the feelings of being in the same boat and helping each other in the same boat. Poetry is lively, step by step, dotted everywhere. They are all endless themes. Repeatedly chanting, swinging people's minds, infinite feelings. The language is forceful and vivid.
