Although on the whole, his life is miserable. But it must be admitted that his life tragedy is largely due to himself. Moreover, in his life, there are many bright spots and many lucky places.
As one of the most representative poets in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin's talent is beyond doubt. Although I experienced defeat in the imperial examination when I was young. But later, he succeeded in winning the Jinshi, which shows that although he lived in that era, when the Tang Dynasty building was about to collapse, he still had some recognition for talents.
Of course, after Li Shangyin won the Jinshi, his career path was not smooth. This is obvious and normal. In the prosperous times of the past, will you be able to make great achievements if you win the Jinshi? Not exactly.
Fortunately, Li Shangyin met noble Linghu Chu and his son in his life. The two of them are also famous in the history of literature, and they cherish Li Shangyin's talent very early and put him in the shogunate for support. All this makes Li Shangyin's future look full of turning points.
However, the court structure in the late Tang Dynasty was very complicated, and the struggle between them was normal. Linghu Chu faction and the other faction are fighting fiercely. Li Shangyin was originally a member of the Linghu Chu family. But it was a private agreement with the daughter of another faction, which obviously brought inevitable contradictions.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Li Shangyin will live in the cracks for a long time. Fortunately, Li Shangyin married his wife, and they really helped and supported each other, which was a rare comfort in Li Shangyin's tragic life of more than 40 years.
The ancient poem we are talking about today is a work written by Li Shangyin to his wife. This is Li Shangyin's best Tang poetry.
Although they come from different factions, love transcends everything. Although they are far apart at this time, a loving heart has brought them closer. And the caring companionship reflected in poetry still touches us today after thousands of years.

"When * * * cuts the candle at the west window, we talk about the rain at night", but you don't have to doubt that I miss you, just as you miss me. When I come home to you, I will tell you in person how much I miss you at this moment.
Many of Li Shangyin's Tang poems are full of tragic feelings, which are closely related to his bumpy career, tragic life and sensitive personality. But he unequivocally expressed his true feelings for his wife. This Tang poem is very straightforward to write the true feelings and tenderness for his wife.
Compared with today's dog food, Li Shangyin's way is really advanced.
