Reveals the common phenomenon of under-appreciation of talents among those at the bottom of feudal society. This poem was written under the clan system, where talented people were suppressed because of their humble origins. Regardless of whether they were talented or not, the children of aristocratic families occupied important positions. position, resulting in the unfair phenomenon that "the upper class has no poor family, and the lower class has no powerful family" ("Book of Jin·Biography of Liu Yi"). The four sentences "The pines at the bottom of the gloomy stream" express the injustice of the world at that time in a symbolic way. "Jiandi pine" is used as a metaphor for scholars who come from humble backgrounds, and "mountain seedlings" is used as a metaphor for children of aristocratic families. The saplings that are only one inch thick on the mountain actually cover the hundred-foot-long tree at the bottom of the stream. On the surface, it seems to be a natural scene. In fact, the poet uses this metaphor to metaphor the injustice in the world and contains specific social content.

Yuyu Jiandisong , Lili mountain seedlings.
A stem with an inch diameter can shade a hundred-foot strip.
The worldly king is in a high position, and he is handsome and humble to his subordinates.

Isn’t Mr. Feng a great man?
Translation
Lush pine trees grow at the bottom of the mountain stream, and small seedlings swaying low in the wind grow on the top of the mountain.
(Due to the different heights of the growing terrain, ,) With its tiny seedlings, it can cover a hundred-foot-long pine.
Children of aristocratic families can ascend to high positions and gain power, but talented people are buried in low-level positions.
< p>This is because their different statuses make them like this. This situation has been around for a long time and did not happen overnight.The two families of Jin Rixi and Zhang Anshi in the Han Dynasty relied on their ancestors’ inheritance. He became a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty. (Er Han Diao: Er, plug. The hats of the officials in the Han Dynasty were decorated with mink tails.)
Isn’t Feng Tang a great talent during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty? ? But just because he was born in a cold family and has gray hair, he is still not reused.
