Appreciation of Ji Ming's Poetry

This poem was first seen in The Book of Songs in the Song Dynasty. It was an ancient China Yuefu poem revised by Yuefu organs in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it belongs to Yuefu poetry collection "Song of Harmony". This is a Han folk song that exposes the ups and downs of the rich and nobles. There was a Han Dynasty in which many consorts, such as Huo Guang and Li Guangli, were born in poverty and idled around. Once they were favored by nepotism, they immediately stepped onto the noble position above them, full of flames and became arrogant. However, the iceberg is easy to fall and the climax will be reversed. In a blink of an eye, my body was ruined and my family was ruined. Folk singers made an artistic summary of this changeable social phenomenon and sang "Cock Crow", which reflected the dark reality of the struggle for power and profit within the ruling class and expressed the people's hatred for the powerful.

The whole poem is divided into three paragraphs, the first paragraph is a general introduction, and the second and third paragraphs are written separately.

The first six sentences are the first paragraph. "Chicken crow" is like a bustling scene, and "swinging" is the reason for its prosperity and decline. "Soft association" appeases the submissive; "Correct the name" and punish those who violate the discipline. The implication is that the fate of the prodigal son is in the hands of the son of heaven who has the power to kill and seize power. They are blessed with wealth, but also killed and hurt their families, thus writing down the ups and downs for the following.

In the second paragraph, from "Gold is the King's Gate" to "Xi 'an Yellow", it inherited the prosperity of "Carnivorous Evil" written as "Dangzi". These "prodigal sons" who were born in poverty, clinging to the dragon and attaching themselves to the phoenix, suddenly became extremely rich, indulged themselves and spent money like water, not only widely raising kabuki girls, but also wantonly overstepping their birthright. The above sentence 12 "Wenwu Temple East Palace" reveals the luxury and debauchery of the nouveau riche's life by spreading the luxury of feasting, the joy of debauchery, the beauty of the mansion and the beauty of Yuan Lin, and implies great dissatisfaction with the dog eagle who squanders the people's money. The following six sentences in "Four Five Brothers" are about the hot trend of new wealth. Brothers and assistants occupy important positions and write about the strength of power; Go home with expensive clothes and write big money.

The third paragraph, from "Peach Blossom Exposing Well" to the end of the poem, inherits the decline of "Dangzi" written by the word "Zhengluanming". "Dangzi" does whatever he wants, without scruple, and his behavior exceeds the tolerance limit of the supreme ruler, which will bring disaster. In the past, it was prosperous, the door was crowded, the cronies won the week, and those who were attached to the situation flocked to it; Today, when we are in decline, disasters strike, the trees fall apart, and it is the enemy who is eager to get rid of them. Even the flesh and blood brothers are not destroyed, and their lives are saved. Contrast techniques are used here. The first four sentences contrast inoue peaches and plums from the opposite side, and the last two sentences show the original intention from the front. Metaphor, vividness, popularity and simplicity; The contrast is sharp and revealing. The Miao Ying family has lost their conscience and their humanity is extinct. They can only share their wealth with each other, and they can't suffer. They even accuse others of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. People in society are not as good as ignorant things in nature!

This poem is well-structured. Abstract is an outline covering the whole article; The places written separately are colorful and have their own wonderful characteristics. Through up and down, the whole poem is condensed into a seamless organic whole. In terms of artistic expression, in addition to the common techniques of fu, comparison and contrast, it is unique in subtle satirical art, with obvious stab and innuendo, which seems to praise the real and belittle the real. In contrast, satire is much more common, and various techniques are used comprehensively, which has achieved good satire effect. It is a clear thorn to set off the lives of brothers and sisters with Li's rigidity and expose the indifference of the upper class. Describing the luxurious life and prominent factions of the nobility in many aspects reveals the author's hatred, suggesting that the prosperity of the nouveau riche will not last long, and the irony is self-evident and innuendo. If this kind of innuendo is difficult to understand because of its obscure meaning, then the strong irony is obvious by comparing the glory of gaining power with the humiliation of losing power. At the beginning, it describes the scene of peace, and clearly puts forward that "the world is peaceful", as if singing a hymn for the prosperous times. Throughout the whole article, we will find that there is a hidden danger behind Shengping, a hidden curse under Fulu, and the rise and fall of powerful people. Peace and prosperity are not peaceful, which is really a great irony to peace and prosperity.
