1, the original poem:
Listen to the gossip,
It rained like silk in the bean shed.
You should be tired of speaking human languages,
Love to listen to autumn grave ghosts sing poems.
-Wang Shizhen
2. Explain:
This poem is a comment on Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Because Pu Songling wrote a flower demon and a fox demon, none of them existed, so the aunt who talked nonsense listened. In other words, let's listen to him.
The bean shed is raining like silk, which is the place to write serial stories. Under the bean shed, people listened to the rain and told serial stories to relieve boredom. This sentence tells the story of a lonely studio, which is loved by the people.
The third sentence is to comment on the content of the serial story, writing about the fox monster instead of writing about people. I guess he is tired of writing people, because sometimes people are not as cute as the fox.
Love to listen to autumn grave ghosts singing poems is that Liaozhai likes ghost fox stories and loves this theme.
3. Expand:
The last sentence of this poem uses allusions. Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "Ghosts in the Autumn Grave recite poems on Bao", which is used here.

They either exposed the darkness of feudal rule, attacked the decay of imperial examination system, or resisted the shackles of feudal ethics, and had rich and profound ideological content. The works describing the theme of love are the largest in the book, showing a strong anti-feudal ethical code spirit. Some of these works show the author's ideal love through the love between foxes and people.
