Appreciation of poetry and prose:
This kind of social poetry has obvious utilitarian desire. Ordinary people writing, either deliberately please each other, or deliberately belittle themselves, easy to show the appearance of please, bow their heads for mercy. In this poem, Du Fu can express his feelings directly, and he can also express his long-term grief and indignation at the oppression of human resources by feudal rulers. This is the reason why Du Fu is above average.
The poet mainly uses contrast and frustration to express the melancholy thoughts in his chest, which is touching and sobbing. This poem should be said to be the earliest one that embodies the "melancholy" style of Du Fu's poems.
