The most "low-yield" poet in the Song Dynasty, only two poems have been handed down from generation to generation in his life, but why are they widely known?

The poet with the lowest output in Song Dynasty was Song Lin. These two poems are called "the moon comes first near the water tower, and flowers and trees turn to spring in the sun". Although these two sentences seem simple, they are of great help to his promotion.

At that time, he was doing an inspection in a county under the Hangzhou government. Because he felt that his official position was not good, he thought that his ability was higher than this official position, and he didn't want to muddle along in the official position, so he looked around for opportunities and wanted to prepare for his promotion. So he happened to meet Fan Zhongyan at that time, because he heard that Fan Zhongyan was a very nice person and could reuse pickles, especially those who could contribute to the court. Fan Zhongyan will miss the imperial court.

He made good use of the opportunity. He visited Fan Zhongyan's magistrate several times, waiting for a chance to show himself. Because Fan Zhongyan is also busy with his official position, he hasn't seen it several times. By chance, he was recruited by Fan Zhongyan to discuss things. She thought the opportunity had come, so he carefully prepared poems.

It was these two poems that changed his fate. As soon as Fan Zhongyan mentioned him, he took out the prepared poem and read it again. Fan Zhongyan was also amazed after listening. Fan Zhongyan is also a very considerate person, because he understands the meaning of this poem, so after listening to this poem, he inquired about his situation and discussed some political issues with him. He also learned something about the actual situation and felt that he was alone.

He is not a poet with the lowest productivity, but these two sentences changed his fate, but they are not remembered because there is nothing to do in later generations, but they can be described as classics.
