This poem expresses Wang Yangming’s homesickness when he was demoted to Longchang. "Life is not wood or stone. It would be better not to miss me after a long separation.": People are not stone or wood. How can I not miss my hometown after being away from home for so long. "Isn't life bitter, and the dead are so long?" should be understood in combination with the next sentence "What happened now, I went to Shangshan to collect sesame seeds". The next sentence is an allusion to the story of "Shangshan Sihao" living in seclusion, which can also be seen from Yangming My husband's current depression comes from the thoughts of his ancestors who wanted to live in seclusion.
