Li shangyin
Going to the south on impulse is not martial law,
Jiuzhong, who has a letter of advice?
Spring breeze cuts palace brocade all over the country,
Half mud, half sail.
Appreciation of Li Shangyin's Poems
The first sentence is "on impulse", which means that Emperor Yang Di was overjoyed and extremely extravagant. "Not martial law" means not being on guard, which means peace. The reason why Emperor Yang Di "took the opportunity to make a southern tour" is precisely because there is no martial law in the world, and "no martial law" is the reason to promote his "southern tour", so the second sentence goes on to say "save books and remonstrate" and write that he is bent on his own way. Because of "taking advantage", the word "who saves who" is used to backchat. Say "spring breeze is the whole country", "one step away from taking advantage" and "exhort" and go straight to "the whole country". The realm has changed, and feelings have become deeper and stronger. "Spring Breeze" is a guide to travel time and season, and "National" is a human resource that touched the whole country by writing about Emperor Yang Di's "Southern Tour". "Cutting Gong Jin" means writing "Southern Tour" to mobilize the material resources of the whole country at one stroke. The repetition of "semi-works" gives people a deep impression and a sense of exciting rhythm. By comparing "Gong Jin" with "Mud Barrier" and "Sail", it directly describes the decay and luxury of the emperor. The poem ends in cadence.
Based on "taking advantage of the situation for fun", this poem connects different things such as "southern tour", "no martial law", "exhortation book", "national brocade cutting", "mud barrier" and "sailing", and expresses the poet's grief and indignation at the emperor who squandered the country in sharp contrast and various changes.
