Original poem:
Chang'e
Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
The mica screen was dyed red by thick candles, and the Milky Way gradually tilted towards the morning star.
Chang 'e, I must regret eating the elixir, and now I am alone, in the blue sky, singing every night.
Creative background:
The author has been in the struggle between Niu Party and Li Party all his life, and his life is bumpy. Niu Li's party struggle was in the era of eunuch's authoritarian power, and most officials who opposed eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were excluded. Eunuchs are divided into two factions-Niu Party headed by Niu Senru and Li Party headed by Li Deyu. From the period of Tang Xianzong (805) to the period of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty (846), officials of the two factions fought and quarreled with each other for nearly 40 years. Historically, this kind of nepotism was called "Niu Li Party Competition". The essence of the party struggle between Niu and Li is that eunuchs are in power. This poem satirizes the power of eunuchs and the darkness of the imperial power of Xianzong. Confucius said: "If the country has a way, it will be an official; If the country has no way, it can be rolled up. " Chang 'e is a typical poem "If the country has no way, it can be cherished".
