The poor are single-minded in clothes and hope it will be cold. Talk about the root of the tragic fate of the characters in this poem.

Bai Juyi has a preface under the title of each poem in New Yuefu, explaining the theme of the poem. The preface of "Selling Charcoal Weng" is "Kugong City", which reflects the pain brought by the palace city to the people. In the Tang Dynasty, when the palace needed things, it sent people to the market to get them and gave them some money at will. In fact, this is an open plunder. Tang Dezong used eunuchs to manage it. Bai Juyi wrote "New Yuefu" when it was the most harmful in the court market. He knew the palace market like the back of his hand and showed deep sympathy for the people, so he was able to write this touching "charcoal man". The significance of this poem goes far beyond revealing the palace market. In the typical image of selling charcoal Weng, the poet summarized the bitterness and bitterness of the working people in the Tang Dynasty, and reflected the darkness and injustice of the society at that time in the small matter of selling charcoal. After reading this poem, readers will see more than just a charcoal seller. Through him, they can also see many people who farm, fish and weave. Although it is not a "black finger", it also bears the imprint of hard life; Although they won't be hurt by selling charcoal, they also shed tears of bitterness and hatred under the weight of land rent or taxes.
