allusion

According to the notes on Suiyuan poetry, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, an old man named Chen Pu asked Yuan Mei, a great poet at that time, to review his poetry manuscript with him. Yuan Mei traveled day and night among the dignitaries, poets and talented women. She did not pay enough attention to the poems and put them aside. A few years later, when I thought of this, I took out the draft and looked at it carefully. I found that the author was a very accomplished poet with a high standard of poetry. So he was busy inquiring about his whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the poor old man had already died under the attack of poverty and disease. Yuan Mei affectionately recorded the late poet's Qijue "Tibi after getting drunk" and put it in her own "Suiyuan Shihua":

It's hard to return home from poverty without a plan to live, and it's hard to lie down and die.

Look at the past and present, how much hate, poor knowledge behind Fang Gan!

Then, Yuan Mei wrote sadly in the book of Songs: "woo Hoo! I also know that Fang Gan is not ashamed of his words after his death! " Fang Gan, a poet of Tang Dynasty, is very talented. However, he had a high nature and refused to make progress. When he was frustrated in the imperial examination, he stopped in the mountains and ended up in depression. Later, the imperial court discovered and recognized his talent, and recognized him as a scholar. But the dead man was gone, and it was no longer helpful.
