Why are the career paths of famous poets so bad?

In fact, it is not so much the bad career of famous poets as their bad career that makes their poems more famous and known to future generations.

On the one hand, a person with a particularly successful official career must be an important official of the imperial court. He wants to solve problems for the emperor, but also consider the struggle between parties. How can I be promoted to a higher position? He is too busy to eat and drink all day, so he has no time to write poems. Only when depressed people are doing trivial work and have enough time to observe what happens around them all day, can they detect the changes of every tiny thing around them, stimulate creative inspiration, express their unique views on things and write poems that may be circulated in the world.

On the other hand, only those who have really seen human sufferings can have a deeper feeling and empathize with the changes of everything in the world. For example, Du Fu's sentence "There are thousands of spacious buildings, and the poor in the world are happy." Du Fu came up with this idea after experiencing the trouble that his hut was broken by the autumn wind. If Du Fu, a great poet, lived in a stormy mansion at that time, where would he have such feelings? It doesn't matter how hard it rains. About three or two friends are playing the piano and drinking at home. Who cares if the world is cold?

It is the hardship of life that makes them poets, and it is also the hardship of life that makes them feel more deeply about life. There are always more poor people than rich people in society, and their understanding of life just pokes in the hearts of these people, so their poems can be passed down through the ages until they are seen by us later. Therefore, famous poets are generally not courtiers. They don't have time to write poems, and they don't have such a profound understanding of life.
