Riding horses and enjoying flowers.
Falling flowers can only drift with the tide.
Buddha has only his own destiny.
Let's go and see the flowers.
From: Meng Jiao in Tang Dynasty, after graduation.

Appreciation of works:
This poem directly expresses his feelings at the beginning, detailing the difficulties and ideological embarrassment in the past life, which is not worth mentioning. It vividly depicts the poet's triumphant state and expresses his triumphant pride.
The beauty of these two sentences lies in emotion and scenery, which vividly depicts the poet's proud scene of galloping on Chang 'an Road with blooming spring flowers. According to the Tang system, the Jinshi exam was held in autumn, and the ranking was awarded in the spring of the following year. It can be seen that "Spring Breeze" and "Bloom at Once" are the actual situations.
The poetic images of three or four sentences are widely known, not only because they express a temporary cheerful mood, but also because of their symbolic significance. The so-called "spring breeze" is not only the spring breeze of nature, but also a symbol of the suitable political climate that the poet thinks can make a big difference.
The so-called "complacency" includes both the complacency after entering the Jinshi examination and the complacency after getting what you want and looking forward to the future. Therefore, the artistic image displayed by poetry is not limited to Meng Jiao himself. He galloped on Chang 'an Road in the spring breeze after entering the imperial examination, but it is an artistic image with universal significance.
In this way, the individual and the general, lightness and implication are unified in this poem, which makes this poem more ideological and artistic. It is not only concrete and vivid, but also general, clear and fluent, and unique.
The first two sentences of the poem contrast the sleepy past with the proud today, and spit out the boredom that has been suppressed for many years. The poet at this time is proud and proud. The last two sentences truly describe the poet's pride after taking the exam. After graduating from high school, the poet Chang Anma felt that everything was infinitely beautiful, and even the beautiful flowers on the roadside had no intention to look closely.
"See all the Chang 'an flowers in one day" seems to say that I enjoyed all the beautiful scenery in the world on this day, which made the heroic poem have a clear and light ending. In this poem, the poet's feelings and scenery are intended to be essays, which not only vividly describe his complacency after high school, but also express his complacency, vividness and fluency, and have a unique charm.
As a result, these two poems have become people's favorite famous sentences throughout the ages, and two idioms, "Proud of the Spring Breeze" and "Looking at the Flowers", have been derived and passed down to future generations.
