Introduction 2.

From the perspective of the history of Chinese poetry, Wen Tingyun, Wei Zhuang, Feng Yansi, etc. can be regarded as outstanding figures in the poetry circle of the Tang and Five Dynasties. Their literary achievements are purposeful* **See you. However, as the master of poetry, it is none other than the tragic emperor poet Li Houzhu.

The later master, Li Yu, had the courtesy name Chongguang and his first name was Congjia. His nicknames include: Zhongyin, Zhongshan Hermit, Zhongfeng Hermit, Zhongfeng Hermit, Zhongfeng White Lotus layman, etc. He is the sixth son of the central lord Li Jing. He was talented and intelligent, with outstanding appearance, "a large forehead, parallel teeth, and one eye with double pupils." It is said that Emperor Shun had double pupils. Therefore, future generations often regard people with double pupils as the image of emperors. The empress was fond of calligraphy, painting, calligraphy, proficiency in music, and had a sentimental temperament. The era when he was born coincided with China's political chaos, which was historically known as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The orthodox Tang Dynasty was inherited by the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Five dynasties in the Central Plains, surrounded by the Ten Kingdoms.

When Zhu Quanzhong usurped the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, changing the country's name to Liang, Yang Xingmi, the Huainan Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty, also proclaimed himself emperor based on Yangzhou, and his country was named Wu. Yang Xing secretly passed on his second son Yang Wei, but the power fell into the hands of Xu Wen. After Xu died, his adopted son Xu Zhigao succeeded him. However, he usurped Wu and established himself, established the capital in Jinling, named the country Tang, and changed his name to Li Sheng. Li Sheng is the grandfather of the later master.

The empress’s father, Li Jing, was a man of “exquisite spirit” and “lofty spirit.” He had not much interest in politics. He once planned to build a study under the Lushan Waterfall to serve as a hermit. But he didn't expect that things would backfire and he would succeed to the throne in the fifth year of Shengyuan. He was a very accomplished monarch in literature and art, and his palace contained a rich collection of calligraphy books. Li Houzhu grew up in such an environment and gradually developed a colorful artistic sentiment.

Although Li Yu was politically incompetent, his artistic talent was extraordinary. Li Yugong is good at calligraphy, good at painting, good at music and rhythm, and has certain attainments in poetry and prose, especially his poetry.

Volume 8_5 I wrote Li Yu on September 10th

When I wake up from the late rain and autumn wine, my mood is hard to calm down. The yellow flowers are neglected, and the red leaves are whistling with the sound of drums. After turning away from the world, I can be tired of the vulgarity, but I still haven't forgotten my passion by chance.

Since my temples have turned gray, I have been scared of myself even if I don’t learn from Anren.

Volume 8_6 Autumn Warbler Li Yu

The remnant warbler doesn’t know what’s going on in autumn, and is still wandering alone across the secluded forest. The old tongue listens in all kinds of ways,

The dark yellow bit enters the smoke stream. Qi Chi turned his back on the world and shared the sorrow of Lu, his eyes were as bright as a sheng in pieces.

Don’t linger and go back, the dew flowers are desolate and cold, and the polygonum flowers are sad.

Volume 8_7 The illness begins with Li Yu on the wall of Shanshe.

When Shanshe first became ill, the disease became mild at first, and the stick, quinoa, and towel were brown, which was called leisure. The stove is turned on with a low fire and the warmth is restored.

The ditch leads to the sound of new streams. For the time being, Peng Juan is in peace with his decayed nature. In the final period, Zong Yuan will ask about his lifelessness.

Who can work hard in the dust, and be greedy and combine fish and dragon to build a strong reputation?

Volume 8_8 Send King Deng's twenty younger brothers to Li Yu from Yimu Xuancheng

Wei Qingge is even more late, don't drink heavily and cherish the money. The waves are invading and the light is rippling,

The chaotic mountains are filled with hatred. How extreme is your love for the cypress trees? I rely on the lantern to see the sun to the west.

There are so many places so close to the Yanjiang River, there is no need to embrace the sadness.

Volume 8_9 Crossing the Zhongjiang River and looking at Shicheng, Li Yu cried

My old hometown in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River has been a dream for thirty years. Wuyuan Palace is now in a state of neglect, and Guangling Terrace Hall is desolate. The cloud cage is far away and there are thousands of pieces of sadness, and the rain is hitting the boat with thousands of tears.

Four brothers and three hundred people cannot sit around and think about it.

Volume 8_10 Farewell to Li Yu

The pearls are broken before the eyes, and the flowers wither in the world. The hatred in my heart was not gone, but I missed it again.

The jade basket is still filled with medicine, and the incense box has been stained with dust. I will feel sad in the past, and I will feel sad in the future. There are no tears to wet the towel.

The beauty is the same as the fragrant tree, and the dangerous path is the same. It is sad to see spring come true, but the bitter rain hurts the bushes.

Where is Mingli now? Her wandering affairs are gone. There is nothing to ask about, and I will thank the east wind for thousands of years.

Volume 8_11 Elegy Poems for Li Yu

It’s hard to get rid of the eternal thoughts, and I sigh in pain when I am alone. The rain is late and the autumn is silent, and sorrow causes more illnesses.

Thinking before swallowing the wind, feeling dizzy and blurred. The king of space should remember me, and the poor man is lost in his family.

Volume 8_12 Reminiscing about Li Yu

I saw the tung blossoms growing old branches again, and the first floor was miserable in the mist and rain.

Who can feel melancholy? My eyes are filled with tears.

The charming beauty is no longer seen in the city, and the sorrow of the festival cannot be restrained.

There is still the old smoke and moon, and the eyebrows are weeping in Furong City.

Volume 8_13 Plum Blossom Li Yu

Transplanted diligently to the ground, with curved sills and small railings. ***When I meet again on a beautiful day, I still worry about whether it will be beautiful.

Block the wind and open the steps, and use the moon to irrigate the cold spring. Unexpectedly, before and after the flowers, the eyebrows are not complete.

Dongjun didn’t know he lost the owner of the fireworks. More fragrance
