Poetry Appreciation
Chang'e ascended to the moon palace because of the elixir, but she also lost the warmth of the world. Since then, he has suffered from loneliness in his heart and the coldness of the moon palace; the poet obtained the title of Jinshi because of the help from the Linghu family, but he was locked up and unable to be independent; he also lost his righteousness because of his sympathy and following the members of the Li Party, but he also lost it Supported by dignitaries, he has been trapped in the exclusion, attack and revenge of those in power and has been unable to escape.
In fact, things in the world are often like this. When people work hard to achieve the ideal state in their minds, sometimes they unexpectedly feel that they are not as complete and happy as they imagined. Instead, they feel lost, or even Regret. As the saying goes, it's always cold at high places. On the way up, people gain and lose many important things without even realizing it.
