These poems were not written at one time, but a record of their political feelings. These poems express feelings, opinions and ideals, which created a precedent for political lyric poetry in the history of China literature and had a great influence on later generations.
Facing the dirty society and short life, Ruan Ji could not find a real way out, so he had to pretend to be broad-minded. In his life, he did many shocking things. In poetry, he also designed a spiritual outlet for himself, that is, wandering immortals and seclusion. There are many chapters of wandering immortals and seclusion in Ruan Ji's Poems of Ode to Huai, while others are the combination of wandering immortals and seclusion. In his poems, he often praises hermits such as Nest Friends, Qi Yi, Shao Ping and Si Hao, and satirizes Su Qin and Reese, who were killed for their greed for profits.
