There are countless famous poems by Huang Jingren, but in terms of widespread recitation, none can match the sixteen poems of "Qi Huai". When Huang Jingren was young, he was in love with his cousin, but the story only had a warm beginning and a silent ending. Because of this, there is a vague sentimentality in "Qihuai". This kind of sentimentality, entangled with the irresolvable sweet memories and bitter reality, made the poet fall into despair step by step. These sixteen quatrains are also an excellent example of literary criticism. The poem imitates Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poem, which is beautiful and obscure, with no specific time, no specific scenery, and no specific things. Memories and imagination are intertwined, and emotions are embedded in it. There is no way to distract from sadness. There are also some good lines such as "The stars look like they are not last night, for whom is the wind and dew setting the midnight sun?"
