This is a poem about palace grievances, which describes the miserable life of the imperial secretary and reflects the pain and sadness of his life. This poem has two characteristics. First, among the four poems, the first three sentences are noun words without predicates, which makes this poem particularly concise and powerful. Secondly, in the four poems, "three thousand Li" means distance, "twenty years" means time, "one voice" means singing, "two tears" means crying, and every sentence uses numbers, which makes the poem particularly refined.
There are only twenty words in a poem. In the first half of the poem, the author condensed all the experiences of a claustrophobic imperial secretary who was far away from his hometown in just ten words with ease and complex brushwork. The first sentence "A Thousand Miles from Home" is written from the perspective of space, which is far from home; The second sentence, "A maid-in-waiting has lived here for twenty years", has been written in the palace for a long time since the time. These two poems not only have high generality, but also have strong appeal; It not only expresses the sorrow of the heroine in the poem once, but also expresses her sorrow in a double and deeper way. Unfortunately, it is tragic enough that a young girl was elected to the palace, separated from her family and the outside world, and lost her happiness and freedom. Moreover, her hometown is 3 thousand miles away, and the years are as long as 20 years, which makes readers feel that her fate is more tragic and her life experience is more sympathetic. Similar to these two poems, there is a couplet in Liu Zongyuan's poem "My Last Brother Zong Yi": "I went six thousand miles and died for twelve years", which also shows that the country that has been gone for a long time is particularly sad. This is to increase the weight and depth of the poem by doubling and entering a layer.
The second half of the poem turned to writing grievances, and the fact that a sad song fell with tears directly wrote the long-buried grievances of the people in the poem. These last two poems are also won by strength, not by implication. Poets used to say that poetry is expensive and implicit, but it is not absolute. It should be said that whether a poem is straight, implicit or strong depends on its content. The first half of this poem has written the tragic situation of the people in the poem to the extreme, and accumulated enough strength to force out the grievances. Then in the second half, it is bound to make the grievances of the people in the poem gush out and pour out quickly. Only in this way can the whole poem appear strong and powerful, and can it receive artistic effects that impress readers. What is particularly worth mentioning here is that some court resentment poems write that the reason for the royal family's resentment is that it is not desirable to see the emperor or fall out of favor with the emperor; This poem is just the opposite. The grievances it wrote were produced in front of the emperor and when the people's songs and dances were appreciated by the emperor. Judging from the first two sentences, this resentment is by no means a protest against being deprived of happiness and freedom because of being refused contact or falling out of favor. It is Liu Zao who said in "Tell on Nagato" that "I don't miss you, I hate you".
This poem also has two characteristics. First, among the four poems, the first three sentences are noun words without predicates. Xie Zhen once pointed out in "Four Poems" that "there are many content words in poems, which are deliberately simple and sentences are healthy", and the example he cited of "all using content words" is a famous sentence. The reason why this poem is particularly concise and powerful is related to the use of this special poetic structure. Another feature is that in the four poems, "three thousand miles" means distance, "twenty years" means time, "one song" and "two tears", and every sentence uses numbers. Numbers often play a special role in poetry. They can express a thing and a question more clearly and accurately, give readers a deeper impression, and make poems particularly refined and powerful. These two artistic features of this poem complement each other with its content.
