Some of them reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood, and the poet sees widespread exploitation.
The poem "Fish Man Zi" says: "It's a little difficult to travel on earth, so you have to pay the rent on the ground." You have to pay rent when you set foot on the land, which shows that feudal exploitation is everywhere. The poem Zhu Chencun's Wedding Photo Collected by Chen Jichang is an inscription for Zhu Chencun's Wedding Photo collected by Yao Chen. The poem says: "nowadays, the scenery is not as good as painting, and the county magistrate knocks at the door at night." Now I can't draw a picture of a stable life. Now there is only a bitter wind and rain, and the county magistrate knocks at the door late at night to urge rent. Su Shi also wrote in the poem "Take Off the Cloth" in "Five Birds" that farmers were forced to pay rent and were brutally whipped: "I don't want to take off the cold current, and the scars of urging rent can be seen in the water. "Scars are scars. Farmers can't pay the rent, and their legs are bruised. When crossing the river, the scars were reflected in the water. The poet also touched on the class opposition in feudal society from the comparison between the two lives. He recalled spending the Spring Festival in his hometown of Sichuan in his early years. In the poem "Thoughts on the New Year", he wrote, on the one hand, "the rich are gorgeous and colorful, and the rich families try their best to pursue luxury, gorgeous and dazzling. On the other hand, it is "it is not shameful to be poor, and it is a bit embarrassing." Poor families can't be so extravagant, so they have to take out some cakes and cakes made of their own ground rice flour as Chinese New Year gifts. Su Shi also wrote in the poem "Silkworm Market" that one kind of "Shu people" is "food and clothing are often difficult", and the other kind of "Shu people" is "unhappy", on the one hand, it is "a thousand years of dust and blood shock". In the strong contrast, it shows the poet's great indignation. The poet summed up four more sentences to make this indignation more concentrated and clear. "Yongyuan Litchi Come to Jiaozhou" is about the tribute litchi in Han Dynasty. Yongyuan was the title and emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Jiaozhou is a place in Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam today. During the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou paid tribute to litchi and longan. Tianbao Niangong is taken from Fucheng, which is about the tribute to litchi in the Tang Dynasty. Tianbao is the title of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty. Fu, that is, Zhou Fu, is in Fuling, Sichuan today. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, litchi was paid tribute from Fuzhou. "I still want to eat meat" refers to Li, the prime minister of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who is a famous treacherous figure with duplicity. As a prime minister, he did not protest against such a thing as paying tribute to litchi, which harmed others and did not benefit himself. Even today, people still hate him very much. This is put forward as a negative example. Here is a positive example: "Nobody gives you a ride." This is a wine glass. Is to pour wine on the ground as a sign of mourning. Bo You was the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty with the word Tang Qiang. Tang Qiang saw Jiaozhou paying tribute to litchi and suffered heavy casualties along the way, so he wrote an admonition letter. The emperor refused to pay tribute to litchi in Jiaozhou. As for Li, everyone hates him and wants to eat his meat. This is for the people. For Tang Qiang, at that time, he advised the emperor to make lychees and did a good thing. But today, no one raised a glass to him and poured wine on the ground, which means that no one thinks of him again and mentions him. This is in terms of feudal officials. This is also a very strong contrast, which further shows the poet's love-hate tendency, and directly leads to the following discussion: "I hope God will have mercy on this child, and I won't get sores." Rain and wind adjust gold, and the people are not hungry and cold. "Naked children refer to ordinary people. A stunner refers to a particularly beautiful person or thing, which refers to an excellent specialty of litchi. This is a wound. Scab means disaster and pain here. The poet said, I hope God will have mercy on ordinary people. Don't plant litchi, an excellent thing, to harm the people. As long as the weather is good and the crops are abundant, the people will not go hungry and freeze. This is the greatest good omen. This is, of course, a very irritating remark. Dialogue with God is actually a dialogue with feudal rulers. There is a strong contrast in words, that is, feudal rulers desperately pursue the enjoyment of "stunners", but what the people lack most is the "hundred valleys" to satisfy their hunger. So these four poems, as words to God, are appeals. What is said to the feudal rulers is a kind of accusation. The whole poem is written here, the feelings have reached a climax, and the theme has been pointed out. Originally, the topic "Litchi Sigh" was a sigh for Litchi, so it can be said that it is over, and the whole poem ends here. However, when the poet changed his pen, another wave was set off. He used the words "you don't see" to draw me to lament litchi and peony, from the exposure of history to the criticism of reality: "You don't see millet buds on the edge of Wuyi River, and the former ding is in the cage, fighting for new things and buying pets. I will fight for official tea this year. "Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province is one of the famous tea producing areas in China. Millet bud refers to bud tea picked in early spring, which looks like millet and is the top grade of Wuyi tea. Ding, a native of Song Dynasty, was a former politician. Cai, referring to Cai Xiang, was the magistrate of Kaifeng and Fuzhou during his reign. Fujian tribute tea began in Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty and became in Cai Xiang. Cage means collecting. In addition, it means overwhelming and transcendence. " "Don't you see" means that Ding Wei began to pay tribute to Fujian people in the Song Dynasty, and then the collection of incense intensified. So feudal officials tried their best to please the emperor with new tricks, and now they have offered the varieties specially used for competitions as tribute tea. This is "strive for new pets and give your own ideas, and strive for this year's official tea." "The poet linked litchi, a tribute in history, with today's tribute tea, which makes people think that there is also the sadness of' shocking dust and spilling blood' behind the tribute tea. As a feudal scholar-bureaucrat, Su Shi naturally dared not point the finger at the emperor. He only criticized ordinary feudal officials. When he listed the events of paying tribute to litchi in Han and Tang Dynasties, he also focused on He Li. Can stop paying tribute to litchi, but Li can't. Therefore, it is the emperor who needs to pay tribute to litchi. However, Su Shi believed that feudal officials should be responsible, and he hoped that officials could learn from Li. This of course has great limitations. At the end of the poem, he said, "What is this thing you lack? What makes you poor? "He thinks that what the emperor lacks is not luxury, but benevolence and righteousness, and his ministers should help the emperor run the country with benevolence and righteousness. It is too humble to satisfy the emperor's material needs with such things as eating and drinking. The poet's focus is still on feudal officials. So he added, "Luoyang Xiang Jun is loyal to his family, and pity also goes to Yao Huanghua! "Luoyang refers to money and has been in Xijing. Qian Chu, his father, surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Song Taizong called it "loyalty and filial piety to protect the country", so Su Shi called money "the home of loyalty and filial piety". Yao Huanghua is a precious variety of peony. Luoyang began to pay tribute to peony from money. Su Shi's tribute to tea peony shows that there are many tributes. It is said here that money is the "home of loyalty and filial piety" and also provides luxury goods to the emperor, which has two meanings. First, how can you say that a family of loyalty and filial piety does such a thing? Second, the "home of loyalty and filial piety" is still the same, so I don't know what a yes-man like Li is like. As the end of the poem, these two sentences can be said to be meaningful. Like Bai Juyi's satirical poems, Su Shi's Litchi Pond has strong realistic pertinence, because it exposes the luxurious life of the ruling class and reflects the sufferings of the people, but it also has certain limitations, because it hides from the supreme ruler, and its ultimate goal is to focus on the rule of the feudal dynasty. But it is different from Bai Juyi's satirical poems in writing. Bai Juyi wrote the topic with the central event as the center, while Su Shi developed it layer by layer, from far to near, constantly developing, but with endless implications. It can be considered that Su Shi's poems are the development of Bai Juyi's satirical poems.
