Ke Pengshan's poems are often used to express his feelings and cultivate his temperament. He likes to travel around famous mountains and rivers and radiate his creative passion. He made friends with poets Lu yanrang, ou yangjiong, hermit Fang Gan, poet monk Qi Ji and Guan Xiu. He had a lot of exchanges and fruitful achievements. Ouyang Jiong compared with Mengjiao and Jiadao. He was poor and good at wine. Kepeng's poems mainly propagate the religious thoughts of Buddhism, expound and embody the philosophy of Buddhism. There are also works that expose social and class contradictions, sympathize with the suffering people, and show concern and indignation over current affairs. There are also poems describing the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland and inspiring people's patriotic feelings. The artistic style of his poems is bright, dignified, sparse, broad, obscure, incisive and colorful, which is indeed a wealth left to later generations. Song longmao recorded the story of Ke Peng, a monk, who was born in fengluo village, dongmenwai, Danling County in the ninth year of Dazhong (885-963 A.D.). At the age of 20, he became a monk in the Jingzhong Temple (now Zhulin Temple) of Jiulong Mountain in zhatou town (now Yangchang town), and later became the abbot. One summer, Kepeng was invited by Ouyang Jiong, then the magistrate of Danling County, to the Yilin Pavilion outside the temple, where he drank and sang. Enter Yilin Pavilion, but see a round table in the pavilion, the table is full of mountain treasures and delicacies. After the greetings, all the friends took their seats one after another. The only thing they could do was to gaze at the green field outside the mountain. The friends were puzzled. Looking at them, they saw dozens of farmers in the field, naked with their backs and the sun on their backs, collecting seedlings. Kepeng looked back and sighed, that is to say, he wrote a poem, which is called "work field drum", as a gift to Ouyang: Farmer's field drum, Wang Sunyan's drum. Drumming is like drumming. What's the pleasure and what's the pain. There is scorching sun above and scorched earth below. may the rain come from heaven, so that the mulberry and oysters are ripe, the storehouses and boxes are rich, not hungry, not cold, and generally enough. After hearing this, Ouyang Jiong was ashamed and shameless, so he ordered his followers to withdraw the banquet. Afterwards, people changed the name of Yilin pavilion to "satirical Pavilion". The so-called "Wang Sun Yan on the drum", it is estimated that when they drink, they play drumming to pass flowers, and those who lose will be given a drink and a poem. According to the chronicle of Tang poetry, Ouyang was friends with Ke Peng. In the heat of the year 957, Ouyang ordered his colleagues to cool down in Jingzhong temple, and set up a bottle in Yilin Pavilion. All sides are happy. Outside the temple, there are tillers. They plough in the hot sun and beat the waist drum to get tired. So he wrote a poem about the cultivation of the field and the drum, in order to Zhi Ouyang. " It is also recorded in the book of CI Hua of the past dynasties, Volume 3, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: Jiong was the leader of the empress of Meng and Shu, one of the Five ghosts at that time. He once asked his colleagues to have a cool time in the temple, and the monks in the temple could make a field work drum song to stab him, so he withdrew his drink.

Appreciation of works

[Mid Autumn Moon] I still like the sunny night when I climb the stairs. Only when my soul is round can I see and think clearly. When the sea surface floats, the sky is clear. If Pianyun wants to have immortals, he should return to the wild without ghosts. when I looked at Dongting Lake, Junshan was half foggy and the water was flat.
