In Drunk, Ouyang Xiu implied the feeling of "having fun with the people" in his description and narration, but Syaraku was drunk and wrote the drunkenness in his music, thus leaving a famous sentence "The meaning of drunkenness is not in the wine, but also in the mountains and rivers", indicating that he was disappointed with politics and turned to the mountains and rivers. Yue, on the other hand, speaks his mind directly. After comparing the feelings of sadness and joy in the official career of "migrant poets", Fan Zhongyan directly expressed his open mind of "not being happy with things, not being sad for himself", and showed his lofty morality and integrity of taking the world as his own responsibility with the famous saying of "worrying about the world first and enjoying the world later", which is still rejected by himself.

The point is that the former is disappointed and the latter is optimistic.
