Because the poem comes from "Living in Idleness", it was written when Gao Shi was drinking, expressing the author's mood and mood at home. He is called "Gao Cen" with Cen Can, and "four frontier poets" with Cen Can, Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan. His poems are vigorous and full of the unique spirit of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Creative background and appreciation
This poem was written after Yao He retired from the post of secretary and junior supervisor, and the specific creation time is unknown. From the beginning, Yao He became an official, and he was half-hearted and adopted a reclusive attitude. After becoming an official, he became more Zen. This poem shows his Zen intention, which can be proved by another Zen poem "Master Xie Daoguang gives a hundred-year-old cane" and the poem "Yao Shaofu can't be with Jia Dao Gu for thousands of years" by his good friend Zhu Qingyu.
Yao Heji's admiration for Wang Wei's poems, especially his pursuit of "quiet interest", reflects this tendency.
The first two sentences: "I don't know myself and live in the city all the year round." Yao He calls himself "Wild Lazy" (8 of Seclusion). It is clear to the onlookers that a lazy and wild person thinks that he is not suitable for being an official or a citizen. However, I don't understand this. Living in the city all the year round, my ears are messy and my workload is heavy. I can't seek peace and leisure because of my ignorance.
