Yang Xu hangs high, Feng Kuku is sad. How many fishing islands are there on the seaside and in the Yangtze River? I remember Jinggong’s old question: Where is there no fish soup and rice to eat?

There are four songs in this song. Except for the last two sentences, the beginnings of the other three are: "The peach blossoms in the flowing water are beautiful, and the water shields and perch are fat in the autumn wind." "Kun Hua Peng" It is not necessary to fly, but the carp will know where to go from the dragon. "It is self-interested to hide the sword, but who can be tolerated by swallowing the boat." It can be seen that the poet's "feeling" comes from the "fish". Of course, the intention is not to talk about food culture, but the content of "feelings" is still social and personnel affairs.

This article begins with two fish-related allusions by Yang Xu and Feng. "Hanging high" and "suffering and sorrow" complement each other. Although the two people have completely different attitudes, one is an official and the other is a retainer. They are both figures in the official career, and they have the same point in losing their freedom. Therefore, these two sentences are foreshadowing. Contrast this with the next three sentences. In the third, fourth and fifth sentences, no specific characters appear, because there are "so many fishermen" and there are too many fishermen hiding in the rivers and lakes. The author uses the form of a question to imply that the "sea" and "Yangtze River" are everywhere, which leads to the thoughts of the last two sentences. The implication is that Yang Xu is high-ranking because he is an honest official, and Feng Kuku is sad because he has not recognized his talents. They are not as good as those unknown fishermen who are scattered all over the country. The idea of ??using the internal connection of "fish" to compare the advantages and disadvantages of using the world and being born in the world is quite novel.

"Jing Gong" is Wang Anshi. Zhang Guangzu's "Guijian of Words and Actions": "Jiefu (Wang Anshi) was in the political hall and said he was eating fish soup and rice. One day he went to beg for business and said that there was no fish soup and rice anywhere in the world." But this is a book compiled by people in the Yuan Dynasty. In his own "Linchuan Collection" and related Song Dynasty notes, there is no such thing as "inscription" by him. I saw that Gu Donggao of the Qing Dynasty quoted "Shangcai Yulu" from "The Legacy of Wang Jingguo Wenggong", saying that Wang Anshi "only ate fish soup and rice as prime minister. He was not used at all, and he was free to go when he could." "Shangcai Yulu" is a quotation from Song Dynasty scholar Xie Liangzuo. The same book also contains a record of Wang Anshi resigning as prime minister due to an attempt to recommend someone, which shows that they are all based on rumors. Xu Zaisi Xiaoling's "Emperor Chao: Changshan River Journey" also contains the line "I have leisure time, and there is no fish and rice to eat". It seems that it has become an idiom spread in the Yuan Dynasty. It is attributed to Jing Gong, which is probably the same. "Du Fu's Spring Outing", "Meng Haoran's Search for Plum Blossoms", etc. are all conventional. "Fish soup rice" has an early origin in ancient poetry. "Yu Ge Zi" by Li Li of the Five Dynasties: "Water is the hometown, canopy is the house, and fish soup and rice are common meals." Dai Fufu of the Southern Song Dynasty "Sigui": "Minced meat is not better than fish soup and rice, and a dandy is like a calf's nose." Liu Kezhuang "Prime Minister Zheng's Birthday Slogan": "The rivers and lakes do not owe fish soup and rice, and they are still grateful to you for your kindness." It is obvious from these examples that "fish soup rice" represents the "regular meal" of the "jianghu". Pushing its origin, these three characters are actually related to the famous allusion of Zhang Han in the Western Jin Dynasty who resolutely resigned from office because of his desire to eat seabass and water shield soup (please refer to the note ③ of Zhang Kejiu's "The Full Moon·Gu Chuihong" by Zhang Kejiu). For those in office, In other words, "Where there is no fish to eat," it means that you can bravely retreat from the rapids and return to your hometown anytime and anywhere.

Xiaoling’s language is rigorous and meaningful, and he is worthy of his profession. "The Sequel to the Book of Ghost Records" records that people at the time spoke highly of Zhou Deqing as "unparalleled in the world", presumably for a work like this.
