Abstract: Dian Lun Wen is the first literary monograph in the history of China's literary criticism, written by Cao Pi, that is, Wei Wendi. Dian Lun is a collection of political, social, moral and cultural essays he wrote when he was the king of Wei at the end of Jian 'an. The whole book consists of many articles. The thesis is one of them. The Dian Lun Thesis is one of the twenty articles written by Cao Pi, the Wei Wendi, in the form of "fascicles", which is a collection of essays on a series of national issues. But it's a pity that most of these twenty articles have been split up to now, leaving only fragmentary chapters. Fortunately, the paper was selected by Xiao Tong in the Southern Dynasties into Selected Works of Zhaoming, and it was completely preserved.

Literati despise each other, which is natural since ancient times. Fu Yizhi in Ban Gu 'er's ear, though young, said firmly to his younger brother, "Wuzhong regards being able to return to Wen as the history of Lantai, so he can't stop writing." Madam is good at self-observation, but literature is not an organic whole, and it is rarely prepared, so she has her own strengths and weaknesses. There is a saying in China Chinese: "If there is a broken broom at home, give it to your daughter." I can't see myself.

Scholars despise each other, as it has been since ancient times. Fu Yi and Ban Gu are equally talented in humanities. However, Ban Gu despises Yi Fu. In a letter to his younger brother Ban Chao, he said: "Fu Wuzhong became an official of the history of Lantai because he can write articles, but he wrote 1000 words and didn't know what to do." Ordinary people are always good at seeing their own advantages. However, there is not only one genre of articles, and few people are good at all genres. So everyone always uses what they are good at to despise what others are not good at. There is a saying in the village, "If you have a broken broom at home, you will know that it is worth thousands of dollars." I can't see my own problems clearly.

Appreciation: This poem sings a poet's sincerity and kindness with simple and meaningful fresh language. The lyric hero wants to be "a happy person" and is willing to tell everyone "the lightning of happiness". Even a stranger will sincerely wish him "happiness on earth". Everything in the poet's imagination is so fresh and lovely, full of vigor and vitality, and there are positive emotions between the lines. At first glance, the whole poem conveys sincere wishes to people in a simple and cheerful way.
