He was "well-read and strong-willed, knowledgeable in managing chaos, and skilled in rhetoric". He had the ideal of "beautiful government" in his mind and attempted to improve the situation of Chu and revitalize the country. But they were besieged by dark forces, which triggered a tragic conflict.

2. Li Bai

Li Bai has an arrogant and unruly character, relying on his talents and arrogance. He was talented, but he was just a member of the Imperial Academy of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He would come and go as soon as he was called, and the poems he wrote were only for the entertainment of the powerful. As a literary attendant, Li Bai could not realize his great ambition. Li Bai has an arrogant character, and he cannot bear the life of "destroying his eyebrows and bending his waist to serve the powerful".

Three years later, Li Bai was slandered and asked to return to the mountain and left Chang'an. Outside the gate of Chang'an, he said, "Looking up to the sky and laughing and going out, we are not from Penghao." He could only visit the mountains and visit immortals, drink and sing wildly to relieve the sorrow and anger of not being recognized for his talent.

4. Li Shangyin

Li Shangyin wrote in "Jia Sheng": "The promulgation office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unqualified. It's a pity that he only sat down at the front table in the middle of the night and didn't ask questions." "The common people ask ghosts and gods." The whole poem not only satirizes the master of the times, but also contains the poet's deep emotion of not being able to appreciate his talent.

The poet long cherished the ambition of "wanting to return to heaven and earth", but he suffered from the decline of the world and fell into a subordinate position. In the poem, he often expresses the sentiments of "Jia Sheng was weak and shed tears when he was young" and "Jia Sheng is also a ghost". .

5. Su Shi

Su Shi's life experience was in a state of flux, but his talent was not recognized. His song "Water Dragon Song" is full of feelings about his life experience being in a state of flux and being depressed and frustrated.

And the incomparable longing for their loved ones.

It can be said that writing about poplar flowers and relatives is like writing about yourself. The whole poem embodies the emotions in the scenery and blends the scenes. While people sigh with sadness at the fall of poplar flowers, they can also truly feel The author's current situation is comparable to that of Yanghua, and he feels deep regret and sympathy for it.
