    If we look at the artistic conception of the poem "The Peach Blossoms Immediately Ask for a Long Tassel", it depicts a heroic image of a hero, riding on a horse, holding a long tassel, and vigorously asking for battle during the beautiful season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is full of heroic spirit and romanticism. In Zhang Huangyan's poem, it expresses the poet's determination to resist the Qing Dynasty; in the novel "Peach Blossom Immediately Asks for a Long Ying", it symbolizes that the heroine Song Xixi breaks away from the shackles of the inner house, goes to the battlefield, and pursues her own values ​​and ideals.
