Although the ancient imperial examination selected many talents, it also left some talents. It should be said that this system has advantages and disadvantages. But for most poor students, they finally achieved their goals in life in this way, thus pinning their hopes on their ideals. However, Luo Yin took the imperial examination for ten times in a row, but he was never affirmed by others, which made the poet finally give up his career path.
It was after ten imperial examinations that Luo Yin began to have a deeper understanding of reality and felt more darkness, which made his works full of the poet's inner sadness and dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction made his poems unique.
Although many poets in the Tang Dynasty were deeply dissatisfied with this, Luo Yin was the most profound and incisive satirist of reality. Many of his poems may often be only a few words, but his true feelings and profound satire on reality are unparalleled. Apart from irony, his "self-dispatch" is more about expressing an attitude towards life. Although this attitude is somewhat negative, it is described magnificently and is amazing to read, especially the last two sentences, which have become famous sentences throughout the ages.
Many of Luo Yin's poems are full of sentimental feelings, and his deep feelings about the real society are directly related to his life. After all, for any promising young man, it is a painful blow to encounter such a thing in the real world, not to mention that the poet is still so talented, which also makes him feel extremely sad and begin to have negative emotions after experiencing those failed imperial examinations.
For the ancients, no one didn't want to achieve something great, and no one didn't want to do something with their talents, but the reality was often so cruel, which also made many literati have no such opportunities and could not realize their ideals all their lives. Finally, they can only sigh.
Both the first poem and the second poem are very sad and sad. "Sing if you win, rest if you lose." As long as I am happy now, I will sing loudly until I am tired of singing. I will completely ignore those troubles and just live a good life. The first two sentences are extremely vivid and sad, and they are also very touching to read.
The third and fourth sentences are the most classic sentences in the whole poem, and they are also the two most familiar poems. "Drink today, get drunk today, and worry tomorrow." Now, I only drink wine. If I had wine today, I would have a good time and get him drunk. Leave tomorrow's troubles for tomorrow. Although these last two sentences seem negative, they can best reflect the poet's inner sadness.
In fact, Luo Yin's poems are straightforward, and there is no superb technique of expression. It is a simple way to express inner sadness, but even so, this poem "Self-Dispatch" still has deep emotional power and touches our hearts. Therefore, from such a work, we can also feel the poet's inner pain and sadness best.
