Image and ideographic levelStructural action level-Deep feelings: This poem is full of the poet's strong feelings. Gong Zizhen was in the late Qing Dynasty, social unrest, political corruption, his career was not smooth, and he resolutely resigned and left Beijing. In the poem, there are both reluctance and attachment to the court and country that they have dedicated for many years, just as the fallen flowers are reluctant to give up on the branches; He also expressed his determination to continue to cultivate talents for the country and contribute to social development through other means, such as using his own thoughts, knowledge and pens, although he left the officialdom. His patriotism and responsibility are all in it.
Emotional expression level-Clever choice of images: the image of "falling red" in the poem, that is, falling flowers, is a dying thing, which is usually easy to remind people of the disappearance of beautiful things and the fall of life, with a sad and lonely color. However, the poet gave it a brand-new and positive meaning.-Conforming to traditional values: In China's traditional culture, there has always been the idea of "helping the world if you are up to speed, and protecting yourself if you are poor", as well as the value orientation of advocating dedication and paying attention to spiritual inheritance. Gong Zizhen's poem fits in well with this cultural background. He still chooses to practice the concept of "helping the world at the same time" in another way when he is frustrated personally and can no longer directly display his ambition in the officialdom. He shows the spiritual quality of selfless dedication by self-metaphor, which echoes the feelings of home and country and the sense of responsibility held by people with lofty ideals throughout the ages. Therefore, this poem can arouse widespread resonance and is deeply loved and respected by people.
