This poem emphasizes that literary works should be contemporary and realistic. The author believes that literary works should reflect the characteristics of the times and social reality, rather than being divorced from reality and moaning without illness. Only in this way can literary works have vitality and appeal, and can they arouse readers' * * and resonance. This poem also reflects Bai Juyi's view of literary creation. He believes that literary creation should be based on real life, people-centered, social issues as the focus and the spirit of the times as the soul. Most of his poems have distinctive characteristics of the times and practical significance, such as Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa Travel, which are excellent works reflecting social reality and people's sufferings.
