According to the biography of Wei Chengqing in the old book of the Tang Dynasty, in the early years of Shenlong, Wei Chengqing tried Zhang changzong, the younger brother of Zhang Yi, for his crimes, "the truth is not true, and he assigned a list." Poetry as in the way of being relegated, by chanting wild geese to express the sadness of relegation.

Originally, during the period of Empress Wu, Cheng Qing was very favored. During the period of joining the army in Ren Yong's mansion, all the Chinese characters in the mansion came from his own hands, which can be described as literary talent and well-known. When he was in charge of the election of heavenly officials, he was also able to do "Quan grant Ping Yun", which was highly praised. Nowadays, the poet's regret and pain in his mind are self-evident when he violates the law for favoritism and allocates himself to Lingnan. Therefore, on the way to being demoted, when he saw groups of wild geese flying northward, he could not help but feel sad and sad. "Thousands of Li people go to the south, three spring geese fly to the north", spring flowers bloom, group of geese return to the north, but I have to cross mountains and rivers, far away to the dangerous, hot and humid place in the south, spring geese can return to their paradise, but I can't help myself, reduced to remote places. The first two sentences, from the geese and people, in the comparison of people and geese, the feeling that people are not as good as geese is deep in them.

At the end of the second sentence, "I don't know what time I will go back with you", closely linked to the wild geese, to express my inner indignation and regret. The geese settled down in the north, so the ancients called the geese flying north the returning geese. At this time, the poet was in the south, gazing at the flocks of geese returning to the north. He felt homesick. I don't know when I can go back home with you free geese?

In ancient times, the northerners did not adapt to the hot and humid climate of the south. The people who were relegated to the South were often very lucky, and the road was long and arduous, so it was even more difficult to predict their life and death.

The poet's despair and guilt are interwoven in these last two sentences.

This poem is sincere and natural. The poet expressed his homesickness and regret for his failure by describing the spring wild geese returning to the north on his way to relegation. It makes the image of a traveler who stops and sighs in the long journey of banishment and looks up to the North appear on the paper. The last two sentences are natural and sincere, blurting out, without any posture of straightening and kneading. Shen Deqian commented: "it's the most difficult to break a sentence based on nature."

This poem, the whole narrative style, language straightforward, popular, such as home. In a short span of 20 words, the author's deep relegation pain is fully expressed by using the technique of contrast, which has its own moving power
