(1) has ingenious ideas and deep feelings. Seldom use direct expression of one's mind, and avoid using flat language. In this poem, metaphor and symbolism are widely used, forming a profound feature that can't be ignored. Accurate duality, exquisite language, beautiful melody, particularly beautiful appearance, and the meaning is often obscure. In Jinse, the poet borrows a lot of allusions such as Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly, cuckoo's crying blood, tears in the sea and smoke in fertile fields, and uses metaphor and imagination to transform his auditory feelings into visual images. By combining the fragments of images, he creates a hazy realm, thus conveying sincere, strong and profound thoughts with the help of visually perceptible poetic images.
(2) Being good at using allusions, being precise and accurate, containing without revealing, can make people have more associations. For example, in Ding An Tieta, the author expressed his frustration and disappointment. "Jia Sheng cried in vain when he was young, and there were many spring trips in RoyceWong." In the poem, the comparison between the two ancients is both implicit and appropriate. "I don't know if a rotten mouse tastes like it, but I guess the game is still going on." Borrowing Zhuangzi's fable, I warned some people not to be suspicious, which shows my disdain for fame and fortune. The flexible use of allusions is better than expressing one's mind directly. Poets can express more thoughts through allusions, which can't be achieved by directly expressing one's mind.
3 temper words and strive to create words. Li Shangyin's poetic language is concise and rich. He not only pays attention to tempering content words, choosing function words and using reduplicated words, but also pays attention to coloring idioms and proverbs, which makes the language of poetry novel and rich in connotation. The use of the reduplication of "flowers are full of shame, and the flowers are bright" in Morning and Night has created a realm of sound, color and emotion. In addition, there are many exquisite and elegant famous sentences handed down from ancient times in Li Shangyin's poems. For example, "it was a long time before I met her, but it has been longer since we separated", "The silkworms in spring will weave until they die, the wax torch will turn to dust, and tears will dry it" and so on.
(4) In short, Li Shangyin's poems are beautiful and sometimes gloomy, swaying without losing weight. Rich and profound ideological content and tortuous forms of expression have reached a perfect and harmonious unity, forming a unique style of "deep affection, elegance and precision". With its profound meaning, exquisite diction and hazy aesthetic pursuit, it has opened up a new world for the development of lyric poetry, made important contributions to the development of classical poetry and later lyrics, and had a far-reaching impact.
