1, Lin Sheng Lin 'an House [Song]
When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop? Warm winds make tourists drunk and make Hangzhou a continent.
The whole poem is ingenious in conception, accurate in words and cynical, and written from lively scenes; Extremely indignant, but not abusive: it is indeed a masterpiece in allegorical poetry.
2, "Cold Food" Han Yi [Tang Dynasty]
In late spring, Chang 'an city is full of songs and dances, and countless flowers fall. The east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows on the willow trees in the royal garden. As night fell, the palace was busy lighting candles, and smoke drifted to the house of the prince and the marquis.
This poem is good at selecting typical themes and quoting appropriate allusions to satirize the corruption of the exclusive rights of consorts. Although the style of writing is exquisite, readers can still understand the theme of the poem under the hint of historical allusions and the confirmation of the social situation in the middle Tang Dynasty.
3, "Send Flowers to Qing" Du "Dynasty"
The city music under the overpass is soft and melodious, half of it goes with the river wind and the other half floats into the clouds. This kind of music should only be in heaven, where can I hear it several times?
On the surface, this poem praised the advanced music that Hua Jing enjoyed, but it contained satire. A military commander, after meritorious service, sings and dances all day long and no longer exercises military forces. This is dereliction of duty. The author's satire is not literal, but hidden behind the praise music, flickering and confusing.
4, "Guo Huaqing Palace" Du Mu [Tang Dynasty]
Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the gates of Huaqing Palace on the top of the mountain are opened in turn. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south.
Through the typical event of sending litchi, this poem reveals the absurdity of the emperor's doing everything he can to please his favorite concubine, and lashes out at the extravagant life of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. The artistic effect is subtle, exquisite and popular.
5, "Du Xuan Guantao Dialect" Liu Yuxi [Tang Dynasty]
On the main road of the city, pedestrians are constantly flowing, and the dust is blowing on their faces. People say that they have just seen flowers coming back from Xuandu. There are thousands of peach trees in the Xuanmiao Temple, all of which were planted after I was exiled to Beijing.
This poem is ironic. His contempt and satire are powerful and pungent, which makes his political opponents feel very uncomfortable. So as soon as this poem came out, the author once again angered the authorities and was exiled again.

In ancient China, the contradiction between the common people and the royal aristocrats was always extremely acute, while in China's ancient poems, there were never many works that reflected social reality and attacked hedonists.
