Li Shangyin was the most influential poet in the late Tang Dynasty, and he was also called "Little Du Li" with the poet Du Mu. His poems are full of reasoning, sincere feelings, and pay attention to expressing the inner world, which is famous for its hazy beauty.
In terms of creative style, Li Shangyin tried to overcome the shortcomings of the previous generation of poets, such as being too straightforward, not concise and lacking artistic charm, and deliberately pursued the vague and implicit aesthetic taste of poetry, forming a unique artistic conception and improving the artistic charm of poetry. In specific poems, the artistic conception is often tortuous and obvious. For example, the poem Jinse, which I just learned, is very obscure in his poems, especially the poem "Mermaids drop pearl-like tears into the green sea next month, and Lantian breathes their jade at the sun", which uses two allusions and expresses the poet's sadness, loneliness and disillusionment through implicit and implicit brushwork. When Lu Ji, a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, read this poem, he also commented: Stone is like jade all over the mountain, and water is full of pearls and Sichuan rhyme.
Another example is Li Shangyin's famous phrase "Spring silkworms die, night candles burn the wick", in which "silk is exhausted" and "tears begin to dry" both imply melancholy emotional tone, adding mystery and profound theme to the whole poem and pushing this hazy beauty to the extreme.
Li Shangyin's poetry is a wonderful flower in the field of classical literature, and his rough and sad life experience has brought him a strong sentimental mood. He showed the hazy beauty of poetry with profound and beautiful artistic conception and exquisite rhetoric. Li Shangyin is a pioneer of hazy beauty in China's ancient poetry. With his rich imagination and deep feelings, he created a new style and a new realm of poetry.
