Poetry started suddenly, and then began to write about the phenomenon that water spilled on the ground and flowed everywhere. There is neither a magnificent scene nor a peaceful and beautiful artistic conception. However, in this ordinary natural phenomenon that is neither magical nor mysterious, the poet suddenly realized a similar philosophy of life. The author uses the metaphor of "water" to describe people, and the "water" flowing in different directions of "East, West, North and South" just compares people in different situations in social life. The flow direction of "water" is caused by topography; People's situation is determined by family status. Therefore, the first two sentences, through the description of diarrhea, vividly reveal the irrationality of the gate valve system in the real society. The poet's dynamic description of the "diarrhea" and "flow" of water creates a momentum that surprises readers. As Shen Deqian said in the Qing Dynasty, "If the Yellow River falls into the sky, go to the East China Sea." This brushwork only twists and turns to express the poet's grief and depression caused by anger and injustice.
In the next four sentences, the poet turned to his own state of mind. Instead of directly singing and shouting at the injustice of the world, he first explained the dislocation between society and life from the perspective of fatalism, and he was eager to get rid of the depression of "sighing and worrying" Then, he used "think of wine and be lenient" to comfort his lost balance of mind. However, raising a glass to eliminate worries is even more worrying. Even the song "Difficult to Go", which was used to pour out grief and indignation in my heart, was cut off because of "raising a glass". Here, the poet deliberately avoided telling his sadness and anguish directly, and the stagnation in his chest could no longer be dispelled by wine, so he began to write about how to get rid of disappointment and get rid of troubles. This style of writing reveals the author's deep and heavy feelings of grief and indignation, which has produced a profound artistic effect.
At the end of the poem, the author poured out his true feelings. "The heart is not wood and stone, so it is ruthless", and the heart is not vegetation, so it cannot be ruthless. Faced with the darkness of society and the injustice of human nature, the poet can't be indifferent and have no emotion. At this point, the resentment in the poet's heart has stagnated to the maximum density, reaching the degree that it may gush out at any time. It is not enough to pour out one's sorrow, not to vent and not to sing loudly. Unexpectedly, however, what appeared below was a deep lament: "I swallowed my throat and dared not speak!" " "Hearing the sound of my lips, I suddenly' swallowed' and held back. The darkness and ruthless rule of social politics stifled people's souls. Social reality has suppressed poor scholars to the point where poets dare to be angry and dare not speak. There are many people with humble origins like poets who can only swallow their anger and pain silently like him. This is a great misfortune on earth. The root cause of this misfortune is beyond words and is very clear. Therefore, the topic of "life also has life" in the previous article is nothing more than an angry word poured out by the poet in the case of submission to humiliation and helplessness.
This poem is profound in meaning, figurative and easy to understand, and has reached a thought-provoking and intriguing artistic realm. Judging from the way the author expresses his feelings, the whole thought is tortuous and profound. Wang Fuzhi commented on this poem in the Ming Dynasty and said, "Break it first, then interpret it. When you lean down, you look infinite. " Shen Deqian in Qing Dynasty commented: "Beauty has never been said." Accurately pointed out the artistic characteristics of this poem. With the twists and turns of feelings, five-character and seven-character poems are randomly matched, and the rhyme changes from "flow" to "difficulty" and "speech", which naturally forms the ups and downs of the whole poem.
Shen Deqian said that this poem "is wonderful because no one has said it, and it is naturally sad to read."
