After graduation

The previous filth was not enough to brag, but now there is no end to debauchery.
In the spring breeze, this proud horse runs at the speed of two beats. I visited all the sights of Chang 'an gracefully in one day.

"Create background"
In the 12th year of Tang Zhenyuan (AD 796), 46-year-old Meng Jiao was ordered by his mother to go to Beijing for the third scientific research, and was finally admitted to Jinshi. On the day of the release, Meng Jiao be in heaven immediately wrote this poem to express his excitement.
Appreciation of whole poem
At the beginning of the poem, I directly express my feelings, and I will not repeat the difficulties and ideological embarrassment in my past life. I vividly described the poet's triumphant state and expressed his triumphant pride. The beauty of these two sentences lies in emotion and scenery, which vividly depicts the poet's proud scene of galloping on Chang 'an Road with blooming spring flowers. According to the Tang system, the Jinshi exam was held in autumn, and the ranking was awarded in the spring of the following year. It can be seen that "Spring Breeze" and "Bloom at Once" are the actual situations.
The whole poem has a brisk rhythm and is accomplished in one go. This poem is very ideological and artistic, bright and smooth, and has a unique charm. "Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the flowers in Chang 'an in one day" has become a favorite phrase of later generations.
