works appreciation
Overall appreciation
Zhu's Biography of Poems holds that "the words are in the same column, not necessarily the thorn king" in the poem "Ya and Min Lao". Yan Zhenqing's "Historical Records" also said: "In ancient times, there was a poem" Let's Be a Boy ",and" Ban "had a poem" Happy Son ",all referring to Wang. Boy, if it weren't for you, don't follow today. Both poems admonish colleagues, so they are called Xiao er. " Every time Zhu and other Confucian scholars in Song Dynasty did not follow the theory of Han Confucianism, they were independent and innovative, but when it came to the relationship between monarch and minister, they were more conservative than Han Confucianism.
In fact, as Fan Chu-yi said in "Poem Supplement Biography": "The ancient monarch and minister were blind date (especially). Boy, it is a general term for youth. Therefore, Zhou Zhi's fu, poetry, letters patent and life are all called "little boys" repeatedly, which is not excessive at all. Is a poem, is a board, is suppressed, the Li Wang as a "boy", which means that his reign time is not long, still young, has been confused. Therefore, "suppression" is also called "whether the unknown is unknown", so it is young and knowable. Mu Gong said that although Wang is a teenager, he uses a wide range of things and should not be careless. " What Zhu Heyan said is not enough for training.
