Besides using metaphors to express one's feelings, what other skills are there in poetry? Please give an example.

Contrast techniques are also used.

For example, the wise kings in ancient times used a group of sages to "follow the Tao and get the Tao", while the fatuous kings in ancient times were crazy and unruly "the Tao is quiet and dangerous"-warning the king of Chu to appoint people on their merits.

Nowadays, "party member" covets personal enjoyment and is willing to suffer disasters for his country and people-expressing his patriotic feelings of not regretting and dedicating himself to his ideals until his death.

What do you think of Qu Yuan's suicide by throwing himself into the river?

① Viewpoint: Understandable-even though he was born in a noble family, he and the king are still vassals and masters. His ideal can only be realized with the appreciation and support of the king, and his noble moral integrity can only be maintained when the king helps him squeeze through the crowd. When the king didn't appreciate him or support him, he lost his support. If he doesn't want to change his religion and himself, then he must go this way. I think Qu Yuan has no choice but to go to this road of no return, which is not what he really wants.

② Opinion: Disagree-Although Qu Yuan was exiled by the King of Chu, the Chu people did not abandon him. He felt that he was hopeless and his ideal could not be realized, so he threw himself into the river, which was actually a manifestation of the literati's psychological fragility. He must be strong and live, and there is hope when he lives.
