6. Tang Li Shangyin's poem "mermen weep their pearly tears down a moon-green sea, blue fields are breathing their jade to the sun" in Jinse has fascinated countless people for thousands of years. If you ask the meaning of this poem, the most admirable thing is Liang Qichao's statement: "I don't care what I say." Open a sentence and ask me to explain it. I can't even solve the meaning. " (The Emotion Expressed in China's Verse) That is to say, this kind of poem is a poetic scene that can only be imagined but not taken seriously. Readers only need to taste the beauty of poetry, and don't have to ask the material of the beauty of poetry.
