Said by: Lu You [Song], Shi.
I am a beginner in Poetry Day, but I want to draw. In middle age, you begin to realize that there is less, and then you catch a glimpse of grandeur. Strange things happen occasionally, such as washing a raging wrasse with a stone. Counting the walls of Du Li, I often hate not understanding them. Bai Yuan leans against the door, while Wen Lizhen is self-defeating. It's a pen-end tripod, not samadhi. Poetry is one of the six arts, so why use money? If you want to study poetry, you must work outside it.
Interpretation: When I was a child, when I first learned to write poetry, I only knew how to pursue neat poetry and beautiful rhetoric, and I always worked hard on words. When I was writing poetry in middle age, I began to realize everything, and then I gradually got a glimpse of the grand and profound poetic realm, and I was able to write some good poems, which looked strange and as good as stones washed by turbulence.
The poems of Li Bai and Du Fu in Tang Dynasty are insurmountable peaks, and there are many high walls in front of me. I hate that I don't know them well and I am eager to get in touch with them.
The poems of Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi can only be said at the gate of the high wall. As for Wen and Li Shangyin's poems, they are not worth mentioning. Even their masterpieces may not really understand the three flavors in the poem. Poetry is one of the six arts. How can it be just a pen and ink game? Therefore, you really need to learn to write poetry, not only in terms of words and sentence patterns, but also in-depth knowledge. The effort to write poetry lies in the experience outside the poem.

Creation background
"Shiziqi" is a poem written by Lu You, a poet in Song Dynasty, for his son in 1208 (the first year of Jiading in Southern Song Dynasty), when he was 84 years old and about to die. Therefore, it is no harm to regard this poem as a literary will of the poet.
Lu You was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Yi, Lu You's great-grandfather, was a scholar in the years of Dazhong Xiangfu, and was a doctor from official to official department. Grandfather Lu Dian, who studied under Wang Anshi, was proficient in Confucian classics, especially in his official position. His Biographies of the Spring and Autumn Annals and Erya Xin Yi are important classics in the study of Lu family.
Lu You's father, Lu Zai, is proficient in poetry and has moral integrity. At the end of the northern song dynasty, he became an official and served as the transfer assistant of Jingxi road. In the seventh year of Xuanhe (1 125), on October 17th, Lu Zai went to the DPRK to report on his work, and went to Beijing by water with his wife Tang, and gave birth to his third son, Lu You, on board the Huaihe River.
In the winter of the same year, Jin Bing went south, and in the second year of Jingkang (1 127), he broke Bianjing (now Kaifeng) and the Northern Song Dynasty perished (the shame of Jingkang). Lu Zai and his family fled back to his hometown of Yin Shan. After three years (1 129), Jin Bing crossed the river south, Song Gaozong led his troops to flee south, and Liu Zai changed to Dongyang, and his family began to settle down gradually. Lu You was only four years old at that time.
Lu You was born at the turn of the end of the Song Dynasty and grew up in the peaceful Southern Song Dynasty. Ethnic contradictions, the misfortune of the country, and the displacement of the family left an indelible mark on his young mind.
