The middle two sentences of this poem are romantic narration, which shows the author's sudden surprise at first sight-hearing this unfortunate news, the language is simple and the feelings are strong. Both the first sentence and the second sentence of the poem describe the scenery, vividly depicting the bleak and desolate scenery around, with rich and profound feelings.

Conventionally, after the poem "Sitting up in critical shock", it is probably necessary to write a real sentence to express the specific connotation of "shock". However, the author happened to come to a poem describing the scenery: "Black wind blows rain and hits the cold window."

In this way, the specific connotation of "scenery" is contained in the scene language and becomes hidden. Whether the author's relegation to dialogue is regret, anger or sadness has not been revealed, and it is left to readers to understand, imagine and ponder.

This poem, with concise and vivid language, fully shows the poet's sadness and bitterness at being demoted to his friends through a series of bleak scenes such as "no flame in the residual lamp", "the narrowest shadow" and "black wind blowing rain". Bai Juyi was deeply moved after reading poems in Jiangzhou. Later, in the book Yu, he said: "This sentence is unknown to others and the situation is embarrassing! So far, every time I sing, I am still very tired. "
