In the Zhou Dynasty, when the Royal heldimportant ceremonial banquet, such as Xiang Li, Yan Li, and Rural DrinkingCeremony, musicians often sing "Luming" to regulate the atmosphere, and to implyveneration, joy and harmony between the monarch and his guests. Therefore,"Luming" became one of the most importance poetry in scholars, and produced a veryrich meaning with the interpretation of the ancient scholars.Firstly, this paper analyzes the relationship between " Luming" poetry with thepower. From the importance action which the deer had played in the social life of ourancestors, we can see that the deer on the feast had close ties with the royal family asearly as the Shang Dynasty, and subsequently became a symbol of royal power, inorder to explain the question why "Luming" use deer in the beginning. And becausethe deer represents the power and status in a certain extent, descendants often see it asa symbol of Officer Paul, plus there are meanings of Immortality and hermit aboutdeer in the ancient, scholars often combined with official position and seclusion ofthese two diametrically opposed attitude to life to express their views on the career ofofficial position when they resolved this poem. In fact, whether on behalf of royalpower or is it a symbol of seclusion, the poem has been given a strong politicalsignificance with the interpretation of this poem and references about it, especiallythe debate about the poem which somebody thinks it " commended poetry" and othersthinks it " ironically poem " give us a fact that the poem contains benevolent politicalconnotations in the eyes of scholars.
