This 14-sentence poem with 82 words can only be regarded as a short poem among the seven-character poems, but it has a long momentum pattern. One of the important reasons is that it reveals the ups and downs and complex changes of the poet's feelings in a hundred steps. The poet's psychological disappointment alternates rapidly with hope, depression and pursuit. "It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, a lot of roads, is it safe now?" The four short-paced, jumping sentences are completely an inner monologue in an anxious state, forcing Xiao to convey the complex psychology of being in a dilemma and continuing to explore and pursue. Through the ups and downs of feelings, it not only fully shows the suppression of the poet's grand ideals and ambitions by the dark and dirty political reality, but also reflects the poet's strong inner repression, anger and injustice caused by it, and at the same time highlights the poet's stubbornness, self-confidence and persistent pursuit of ideals, showing the poet's powerful spiritual strength in trying to get rid of repression.
This poem is influenced by Bao Zhao's quasi-theme and expression, but shine on you is better than blue. Their poems all reflect the suppression of talents by feudal rulers to a certain extent, but due to the reasons of the times and the poet's spiritual temperament, Li's poems are more profound and intense, and at the same time, they also show positive pursuit, optimistic self-confidence and tenacious adherence to ideals. Therefore, compared with Bao Zheng, Shi Li's ideological realm is higher.
