"One Phoenix and Two Plums" is the representative of poets in Southern Tang Dynasty, which refers to Feng Yansi, Li Yu and Li Shangyin. Although Li Bian was extremely clever since childhood, he was good at literature and music and had close cultural exchanges with the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was regarded as a "talent", but he was not included in the ranks of "one phoenix and two plums" for several reasons.
1. Li Bian is not the most important cultural representative in Southern Tang Dynasty.
On the contrary, "one abundance and two plums" played an important role in the development of Zhongxing culture in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Feng Yansi left his mark in the Southern Tang Dynasty with his rich life experience and mature philosophy of life. Li Yu was a talented poet and musician, who was famous at that time. Li Shangyin is an outstanding poet in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his ci style is beautiful, fresh and meaningful.
It can be said that "one phoenix and two plums" laid the basic features of Ci culture in Southern Tang Dynasty and left an indelible cultural heritage for this short and brilliant dynasty.
2. Li Bian Ci is different from "one peak and two plums".
His literary creation style is unique, different from other poets in Southern Tang Dynasty, full of personality and characteristics, but his position in Southern Tang culture is relatively low.
The ci of "One Peak and Two Li" embodies the peak stage of southern Tang ci, which is a distinct representative of southern Tang culture at that time and has a broader and far-reaching influence on later cultures.
3. Li Jue was not an important social figure in Southern Tang Dynasty.
During the social transformation in Southern Tang Dynasty, many outstanding politicians, military strategists and cultural celebrities emerged, such as Xu Xuan, Yue Fei and Yao Ben. In contrast, Li Bian's main contribution lies in the cultural field. Although his influence is not small, his role in the historical process of the Southern Tang Dynasty is relatively limited.
In a word, "one phoenix and two plums" represents the highest peak of Ci culture in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and marks the all-round progress and outstanding achievements of literature and art in the Zhongxing period in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although Li Bian is a talented person, he is not among the representatives of Zhongxing culture in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
