Li Yu, queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was called Zhong Yin and Lian Feng. In the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yu succeeded to the throne and respected Song as orthodox. In the fourth year of Kaibao, Song Taizu destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, and Li Yu was renamed as "the Lord of the South of the Yangtze River". In the eighth year of Kaibao, the Song Dynasty broke Jinling, and Li Yu was forced to surrender. On July 7th, the third year of Taiping and Xingguo, a Yu Meiren was fatal, and Li Yu died in Bianjing, known as Li Houzhu in history. Because of the high achievement of ci, it is called "the emperor of ci through the ages"
Li Yu is versatile and has made achievements in all aspects. He is good at painting, poetry and songs, and is familiar with music.
Literary achievements
His ci is divided into two parts, with the national subjugation and the Song Dynasty as the boundary. The early stage mainly reflects the love between men and women in court life, with beautiful style, but sometimes it also shows heavy sadness, such as "Qing Ping Le Bielai Spring Half"
Since leaving, spring has passed halfway, and the scenery in my eyes has swept to a broken heart. The order of autumn may be like snow in the snow, brush it off and then flow down full.
Hongyan has flown back, the journey is far away, and the dream is hard to come true. The sadness of parting is like weeds in spring, which go further and further.
The following words reflect the pain of national subjugation, which is extremely sad and infectious! Such as "sand outside the curtain, rain outside the curtain"
Outside the curtain, the rain is gurgling, spring is fading, and Luo Can can't stand the cold.
I don't know if I am a dream guest, but I am insatiable in one day. Don't lean on the bar alone, it is infinite.
It is easier to see when it is different than when it is difficult. The water is gone, and it is heaven and earth.
Li Yu's calligraphy is known as the "stirrup pulling method" and he is good at running calligraphy. He likes to write crooked, which is called "Jin Cuodao". He doesn't use a pen to write big characters, which is called "pinch of gold books".
In the painting, his bamboos are outlined one by one, which is very distinctive. It's called "iron hook lock", and its forests and stone birds are also far-reaching!
Li Yu is proficient in temperament and has written Nianjiashan and Zhenjingling.
Finally, let's take a look at the evaluation of it by future generations.
Chen Pengnian: (Hou) Teenagers are so ancient, because the style of writing is Han and Wei.
Ouyang Xiu: Yu is arrogant and extravagant. He is good at lewdness, and he likes to be superficial. He talks loudly and doesn't care about political affairs.
Wang Shizhen: The flower is still hurting and breaking, but it is already wonderful for Li Wang and his son in Nantang.
Hu Yinglin: The back eyes are heavy, and Yuefu is the first mountain of Song people. Although Gavin Wei is gorgeous, his anger is quite harmful. He is full of words. At this point, he became a writer, and at the time of Qingming, he became a poet, just like Wang and Meng.
Nalan Xingde: Words in flowers, such as ancient jade, are expensive but not applicable; Song Ci is applicable but of poor quality, while Li Houzhu has its beauty, which is even more puzzling.
This shows that Li Yu's achievements are extraordinary. Those who like Li Yu and history can pay attention and discuss together!
