刘基以诗议政，体现了作者强烈的参政意识和批判精神，其所议论的范围囊括元季至正年间吏治、军政等种种社会弊端，而这一切又都是围绕着当时群起为“盗”、天下大乱的艰危局势逐一加以揭示。元季时局艰危的根本原因在于执政者不行“以德养民”的为政之道，在于元廷政治的全面腐败。从诗歌的渊源角度考察，以诗议政古已有之，宋人苏轼、陆游等皆有以诗议政之作。刘基的议政诗，客观上是承绪宋人“以议论为诗”之传统，主观上则因其固有的经世致用的文学观念所使然。此类诗作情、理兼具，既有社会认识价值，又有艺术审美价值，未可过于贬抑。 Liuji’s poetic discussion of politics represented the author’s strong sense of political participation and criticism. The scope of his argument covered various social malpractices such as official administration and military affairs during the period from the first quarter of the fourth season to the middle of the previous years, all of which revolved around the “thieves” The unlucky situation in the world was revealed one by one. The root cause of the difficult situation in the Yuan dynasty lies in the fact that the ruling party can not practice the principle of “supporting the people by virtue” and the complete corruption of the political power in the Yuan court. From the perspective of the origin of poetry, poetry politics has existed, the Song Su Shi, Lu You and others are all made of poetry politics. Liuji’s political poetry is objectively a tradition of “discussing poetry” by Cheng-hao in Song dynasty, but it is subjective because of his inherent literary concept of using the past and the present. Such poems for both love and reason, both socially aware of the value, but also the aesthetic value of art, can not be too belittle.
