This poem is regarded as "mocking the world" by later researchers, and it is meaningful to read.
"Gui Ai Tong Yin sits on the curtain and Chang 'an looks forward to Chongyang".
The original meaning of "Ai" is about "Yun Qi", where "Gui Ai" is extended to "the fragrance of osmanthus".
"Xian Kou of Chang 'an" refers to the greedy people in Beijing and describes the corruption of officials.
It can be inferred from Chang 'an Xiankou that the subject of this sentence refers to those corrupt dignitaries.
Those dignitaries who sat among the osmanthus flowers, picked up their glasses and drank under the shade of the phoenix tree greedily looked forward to the arrival of the Double Ninth Festival.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a good time for corrupt officials to drink and have fun.
The so-called festival is just another good opportunity to get together and flatter others.
The place to sit is still "sweet osmanthus and tung shade", but it looks elegant.
However, as recorded in Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, in the land of "planting bamboo in the forest" and "clear water stirring turbulence", "although there is no prosperity of silk, bamboo and orchestral strings", it is enough to talk about deep affection.
In the end, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is endless (lǐ).
Moreover, Baochai quoted Chang 'an as saying.
Chang 'an was the capital of many dynasties, and it was so corrupt even at the foot of the imperial city far away from Chang 'an. Corruption will only increase rather than decrease.
"There is no latitude and longitude in the road ahead, and Piri is black and yellow in the spring and autumn."
"Lippi Chunqiu": refers to the words hidden in the heart, also known as "Lippi Yang Qiu"
(When the crab walks), looking at the road ahead, it is not standardized (which means rampage), and there is black and yellow crab paste under the crab shell.
Here, Baochai compares those "corrupt officials" to "crabs".
Isn't walking without looking at your feet a sign of bullying?
Because there is no fear in my heart, I am arrogant and lawless, and I rely on power to do some unnatural things all day.
And often this kind of person who always boasts that "Laozi is the best in the world" in front of everyone has no real talent and learning.
In fact, the skin is just "empty, black and yellow".
"Empty, black and yellow" here means "empty, with those fancy ideas".
Many real "Wolong Feng Chu", maybe you don't like to "visit the cottage", because "a good bird chooses a wood to live in, and a good minister makes it at the right time"
They are only willing to come out when the time comes, otherwise they would rather "Jiang Taigong Fish and those who want to take the bait".
In fact, being a man still depends on real talent and learning, otherwise it will be revealed one day. Even if you get those "flowers in the water in the mirror" by fishing for fame, so what? You always have to pay it back when you hang out. It's not that you don't report it, it's not the right time. If you don't believe me, you can have a look. Who has heaven spared?
If these "scheming methods" are more intimate than their own mothers, then human relations will be defeated by these, which is ridiculous and sad.
"If the wine is not fishy, use chrysanthemum. Ginger is needed when it is cold. " .
"Chrysanthemum" here refers to "chrysanthemum wine". Chinese medicine has proved that chrysanthemum is sweet, cold and slightly bitter, and has the functions of dispelling wind and clearing heat, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, diminishing inflammation and detoxifying. Chrysanthemum wine has the medicinal value of clearing away heat and toxic materials, improving eyesight and expelling wind, calming liver and dispersing lung, benefiting yin and nourishing kidney.
Ordinary wine can't resist the smell of crabs, so we have to drink chrysanthemum wine. Crab belongs to cold food, so we should add some Jiang Mo to prevent cold from accumulating in the body.
On the surface, it seems that the diet is very particular and pays attention to health.
But from another point of view, after comparing these corrupt officials to crabs, isn't this "chrysanthemum wine to remove fishy smell" and "adding Jiang Mo to dispel cold" just to "eliminate disasters for the people" and eliminate their bad influence on people?
Just eating this kind of "crab" may be bad for your health, but these "deer moths" can not only endanger people's health, but also torture others mentally.
Many times, mental depression is more painful than physical illness.
Or, you can take "chrysanthemum when the wine is not fishy, and ginger must be preserved when it is cold" as a very delicate dish, and it is a well-thought-out and carefully prepared "crab feast".
In this way, it is "foreign body" to beautify "crab", which is very "arty".
For example, in order to decorate the facade, make friends with celebrities and engage in cultural activities, it seems that you are very talented.
Like many powerful people in the past, the sons of Taizi have no talent except oil and water, but when they are strong, they feel that they still lack an image of "brilliant". So they specially find some truly talented "Buyi" literati to write books and articles for them, and then write their names for fame.
Even if the atmosphere of social corruption is bad, they can use their power to let others cheat for them and then get themselves an official position.
If you are a scholar with backbone, you may not want to be a "staff officer" in their home.
"What good is it to drop the pot today and smell the moon in the air?"
"Put down the kettle" means "put it in the pot to cook"
What's the advantage of being cooked in a pot now? The crabs that once lived by the water in the moonlight only had the aroma of millet left over from eating crabs.
In the end, it's not "it's so clean when it's all white."
"A wily rabbit dies and a running dog cooks; No matter whether the birds are gone, or the yellow bell destroys the tiles and thunders, the people who harm people will not have any good results anyway.
The "whole grain fragrance" here should have the taste of "good people don't die, evil people don't die".
Because "millet" is used to burn crabs and is the antonym of "crab", its "fragrance" represents a clean stream against evil forces.
This poem by Baochai has profound implications and can be called "the swan song of singing crabs".
Although she is always quiet on weekdays, in fact, she knows many things in her heart, but she just doesn't say it.
Baochai is a very silly girl.
Sometimes, it is not necessary for a discerning person to tell the truth, is it?
