JOE was able to give Fan Ju a robe only because he was poor. Interestingly, he didn't know that he was facing a stranger who could rule the world, but he still regarded Fan Ju as an ordinary person.

Make an appreciative comment

Gao Shi, a teenager, was down to 50 years old. Huainan and Xichuan, officials, were appointed as the marquis of Bohai County, and their poems were spread all over the world. Judging from the tone of this poem, it should be written before entering the official career.

The first two sentences of this poem tell the story of Fan Sui. Biography of Historical Records of Fan Sui records that during the Warring States Period, Dr. Wei needed Jia, and the King of Qi gave him twelve taels of gold and ox wine because he went with Jia. JOE suspected that Fan Sui was all right, so he told Wei Xiang. Wei Xiang sent someone to humiliate Fan Sui and tried to kill him. Fan Sui feigned death and fled to Qin, lobbying Zhao Haoqi of Qin to succeed. Worship him as a relative and seal him in Ying (now southwest of Baofeng, Henan Province), which is called Ying Hou. "Is the qin dynasty, the qin dynasty called Zhang Lu, but wei didn't know that he had been dead for a long time. Wei Wenqin's eastward expedition to Korea and Wei, the envoy of Wei must be Qin. When Fan Sui heard about it, it was a little trip, a place to walk between our clothes and a place to see JOE. When Jia Su saw it, he was shocked and said, "Is Uncle Fan okay?" Fan Sui said, "Nature." Su Jia said with a smile, "Did Shu Fan say Qin evil?" Say:' No. I didn't think I was very familiar with Wei Xiang the day before yesterday, so I fled here. How dare I say? Su Jia said, "What happened to Uncle Jin?" ? Fan Sui said, "I am a servant." You must mourn it, stay for dinner and say,' It's so cold in Shu Fan! Is to give it one of his robes. "Later, Jia Sui went to apologize, but did not execute him, saying," However, Gong did not die because he fell in love with his robe, which meant an old friend, so he was released. "Let Su Jia back to wei.

"Woven robe" is a robe made of coarse silk cotton, which is thicker and rougher than silk. In addition to cold, "cold" also means poverty and poverty; "And" and "should be pitiful" are linked together, which shows that although JOE once offended Fan Sui and almost killed Fan Sui, he still had a little sympathy and pity for his old friend. This shows that people should not be too snobbish, too stingy and tolerant.

"I don't know the world, but I still look at it with cloth." These two sentences were written by JOE. He didn't know that Fan Sui had become Qin Xiang and regarded him as a civilian. Here, the poet used the topic to satirize Xu's pity for the cold and ignorance of knowledge. He even regarded Fan Sui, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, as a civilian. The "outstanding scholar in the world" in the poem is a traditional Chinese study and an outstanding talent. "Cloth" refers to civilians. In ancient times, ordinary people wore cloth.

This poem is a combination of narration and discussion, full of emotion. Poets express ancient love in their poems, which gives people a strong feeling and can arouse readers' admiration. The use of several conjunctions in the poem is also just right. The words "and" should be pity "in the last two sentences describe the pity mentality of JOE when he gave the robe. They don't think Fan Sui can make a fortune, let alone Fan Sui, but think that JOE is just a mediocre person. The next two sentences "I don't know" and "I still know" seem calm and take things as an excuse, but they are full of anger.

Extended reading: Gao Shi's poetic style

"Bold and tragic" is the remarkable feature of Gao Shi's frontier poems. His poems are quality-oriented, magnificent and simple. Lofty and lonely, he has the spirit of a ranger. He once roamed Liang and Song Dynasties and devoted himself to self-sufficiency. In addition, he is generous and upright, so his poems reflect a wide range of aspects and profound themes. Gao Shi's psychological structure is extensive, and his personality is straightforward, so his poems often express his mind directly, or talk to each other, and rarely use metaphors.

Gao Shi's poems focus on people rather than the natural landscape, so he seldom writes about scenery, and when he expresses his feelings, he is often accompanied by the part of writing about scenery, so this scene bears the poet's personal subjective imprint. "Song of Yan" describes the bleak scene with "autumn is exhausted in the dust and sand, the grass is withered, and the sun is setting on the lonely wall", and contrasts it with the desert, hay, lonely city and sunset, forming a picture full of subjective feelings, which makes the heroic and tragic battle of the soldiers more intense. Gao Shi uses simple words in his language style without carving.
