I have to say this set of poems is (at least according to Baike) way less satirical than I expected???
Baike:
nine bags: nine is again an imaginary number, just means 'many'
Some think this is a sister poem to "伐柯" Fa Ke and both praise Zhou gong. Then there was other commentary, and Baike noted that this was all speculation
Another interpretation is this is someone hosting a high ranking official for a banquet, saying they're having so much fun, why doesn't he stay for a few more days?
