Loneliness often expands people's thinking space, and I began to like to meditate. Often, I turn on the desk lamp, lean my elbows on the rough desk, and think about poetry. The paintings hanging on the wall, the black utility rack in front of the window, the coffee table, the bed, the pillows, and the dead objects around me all seemed to suddenly have a sympathetic relationship with me through the association of poetry. Sometimes I stand in front of the window and gaze at the trees outside the courtyard. The green leaves are fluttering and stretching in the sunlight and breeze. --Wang Lianghe.

"The Divine Comedy" is a long epic poem. Each part of the trilogy has thirty-three cantos, plus the first canto as the overture to the whole book, for a total of one hundred cantos. This symmetrical structure is based on medieval concepts of the mysterious meaning and symbolism of numbers. From a moral point of view, this fictional magical journey is the learning process of the soul. Virgil symbolizes reason and philosophy. She guides Dante to travel to hell and the pure world, symbolizing that people understand the consequences of sin through reason and philosophy, and thus repent; Beatrice symbolizes faith and theology. She guides Dante to travel to heaven and finally see God. It symbolizes that people understand eternal truth through the path of faith and the enlightenment of theology, achieve the ultimate goal, and obtain the happiness of eternal life in the next life. Dante uses the personal soul's learning process as an example to inspire people to reflect on their own thoughts and actions and pay close attention to the dark social reality, so as to promote the early realization of Italy's hope for political and moral revival. Around this central idea, "The Divine Comedy" extensively reflects reality, gives an artistic summary of medieval culture, and at the same time shows the dawn of humanistic thought in the Renaissance era. Therefore, Engels called him "the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of the new era."

Text example: Same life is the same. When I was a child, I would jump high and reach out to the dragonfly out of boredom, but it would always fly high to bully me. At that time, I still ignorantly thought that as it grew taller, it would not be able to escape my clutches. Today, it flew by me. Of course, I am older, so I didn't stretch out my naughty hand to catch it. Because I understood that it was not that I was high enough to catch it now, but that it was flying low because it was about to rain. I shouldn't have compared myself with it long ago. Even if my ability is higher than it now, it doesn't mean that I will show my claws to it, because no one wants to defeat anyone, but we should coexist with each other.
