Notes on the title or background of a book.
This poem was written in the first year of Long Live Tian Tong (696). Chen Ziang is a scholar with political knowledge and talent. He is outspoken and dares to protest. He often criticized the shortcomings of Wu Hou dynasty, but it was not adopted by Wu Zetian. He was imprisoned for "anti-Party". His political ambition could not be realized, and he was hit one after another, and his mood was very depressed. In 696, Li Jingye and Sun Wanrong of Qidan captured Yingzhou. Wu Zetian appointed Wu Yousi to lead the army to conquer, and Chen Ziang served as a staff officer in Wu Yousi's shogunate and went out with the army. Wu Youyi is reckless and has no strategy. The following year, after the defeat, the situation was urgent. Chen Ziang's request to send 10,000 people as the precursor to attack the enemy was not adopted. Later, Chen Ziang suggested that Wu Zetian reduce him to sergeant. Chen Ziang suffered repeated setbacks, seeing his ambition to serve the country shattered, so he boarded Jibei Tower and generously wrote You Zhou Tower.
