analyse and comment on

The word "chengzhuen" in the first sentence implies irony. Because the lady of Guo State was not a concubine of Xuanzong, it was abnormal to accept the Lord's favor. The second sentence "riding into the palace gate in pingming" is a specific description of "accepting the Lord's kindness". "Pingming" is the time when the sky is already bright. This is not the time to see the emperor, but Mrs. Guo can go to court. It's not the emperor's special favor. How can it be so? The palace gate is a forbidden area. It's the place to ride a horse, but Mrs. Guo can ride a horse. It's not the emperor's special permission. How can it be so! Therefore, the seemingly plain narrative tone of "riding into the palace gate peacefully" is thought-provoking. At the time of the Ming Dynasty, the horse riding in the forbidden court was so unusual that the absurdity of Guo Guo's wife and Xuanzong's was self-evident. In the third sentence, "but I don't like the color of powder and fat", the pen suddenly turns to the appearance of Mrs. Guo. Is it not strange that Guo Guo's wife "dislikes powder" because it is originally a cosmetic that makes women more beautiful? A check, according to "Taizhen waizhuan" said: "Guo does not apply makeup powder, self dazzling beauty, often plain face to the sky." It turned out that she was confident that her natural beauty was better than powder and cosmetics, and it was just to show off and compete for favor in front of the emperor, which was exactly the same as pleasing the king with heavy makeup. The fourth sentence is the result of "being disgusted with the color of powder". "The Supreme Court" echoed with the first and second sentences, and then came to the court. 3、 The four two sentences literally boast the extraordinary beauty of Mrs. Guo. However, the image of the lady of the Guo State, who is frivolous, coquettish and deliberately entertaining, is depicted in the light of "but dislikes the powder". In particular, this image is connected with the grand name of "supreme", which makes people feel an indescribable pungent irony. The greatest characteristic of this poem is its implicitness. It seems to praise the truth and belittle it. It wants to suppress and praise it. It satirizes deeply with extremely flattering language, and its artistic skills are superb.
