A poem dissatisfied with the ruler

The title of this poem is Lin 'an Mansion.

When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop?

Warm winds make tourists drunk and make Hangzhou a continent.

Appreciation: The first two sentences of the poem "When will the West Lake dance stop?" . "Grasp the characteristics of Lin 'an City: overlapping green hills, rows of terraced fields, endless lights and songs and dances, and write down a false picture of prosperity and peace in that year. It expressed the poet's dissatisfaction and condemnation of the rulers who dragged out an ignoble existence, sang and danced all day, and lived a drunken life. The poet touched the scene and couldn't help but sigh: "When will the West Lake Dance stop?" When will these lewd songs and dances by Xizi Lake, which kill people's fighting spirit against gold, stop?

In the words of "when will it stop", ask the ruler: When will the extravagant life stop? The implication is: When will the cause of anti-Jin Xingguo begin? When can I start again?

The last two sentences, "Warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a continent", are the poet's further expression of his feelings. The word "warm wind" is a pun, which refers to both the spring breeze in nature and the lewd wind in society. It is this "warm wind" that blows people's minds like they are drunk. "Tourists" can be understood not only as ordinary tourists, but also as the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty who forgot the national disaster, lived a quiet life and had fun. The words "smoked" and "drunk" in the poem are used very skillfully, vividly depicting the mental state of those dignitaries who indulge in debauchery and ruin the country and the people. At the end, "directly treating Hangzhou as Bianzhou" is a direct rebuke to the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty for forgetting national hatred and family feuds and treating Hangzhou as the old capital Bianzhou. Bitter satire contains great anger and endless worries.

This poem is cleverly conceived and phrased: cynicism is written from a lively scene; Extremely indignant, but not abusive. It is indeed a masterpiece in fable poetry.

This poem was written for the dark reality of the Southern Song Dynasty. It poured out the indignation of the people and expressed the poet's thoughts and feelings about the future and destiny of the country and the nation.
