Abstract:

In iris Poems on Aspiration, Ruan Ji metaphorically took the"Garden of East"as an imperial cemetery since Huang Di's(Yellow Emperor)"Garden of East", the Western Han emperor Xuan Di's Du Mausoleum and the Mout of Shouyang where Cao Pi and Sima Yi were buried, all had to do with legends of phoenix.The key to understand the first two verses in Ruan's third poem on aspiration lies in that he compared"Ji Sun Shi"to Cao's Kindom of Wei. For Ruan Ji, Cao's regime was only a grave whose own diggers had been produced by itself.

Key words: Ruan Ji, poem on aspiration, Garden of East, Mount of Shouyang
