Li Shangyin was one of the few poets who deliberately pursued the beauty of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry writing, and parallel prose has high literary value. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read.
However, some poems (represented by Jinse) are obscure and inseparable, and there is a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng".
The characteristics of poetry:
Li Shangyin's poems have a wide range of teachers. His feeling of compassion for others and the method of reposing the beauty of vanilla originated from Qu Yuan, and his poetic style with profound meaning is similar to Ruan Ji's. Du Fu's spirit of worrying about the country and the people, his depressed and frustrated style, Qi Liang's exquisite and gorgeous poems, and Li He's symbolism and style all influenced Li Shangyin.
Some of Li Shangyin's long ancient styles are bold and unconstrained, close to Han Yu's. He also has several fresh and beautiful poems with pure lines, which were born out of the folk songs of the Six Dynasties. Li Shangyin is good at melting hundreds of families into one furnace, so he can form his own family.
