What kinds of poems did Li Shangyin write?

Li Shangyin, Zi Yishan, Hao Yuxi Sheng and Fan Nansheng are all famous poets. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose also has high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, it is called "Xiao", and together with Wen, it is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to the paragraphs and essays of the same period, all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, so they are called "Thirty-six Style". 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 are too obscure to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng". Caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Aibo County). His works are included in Li Yishan's poems.

Poetic style

Li Shangyin's poems reflect his thoughts. His basic thought about human beings basically belongs to Confucianism, but he is practical and has a certain critical spirit to Confucianism. He believes that it is not necessary to take Confucius as a teacher and "forbearance" as the holy thing. He also has Buddhism and Taoism, advocating "nature" as his ancestor. Li Shangyin's poems have distinctive and unique artistic style, beautiful words and profound meanings. Some poems can be interpreted in many ways, while others are obscure. There are about 600 existing poems, especially untitled poems, the most prominent of which is his love poems. Li Shangyin is good at writing seven laws and five-character laws, and there are also many excellent works in seven-character poems. Ye Xie, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, commented on Li Shangyin's Seven Musts in his original poem as "affectionate entrustment, tactfully worded, but unparalleled in a hundred generations." His metrical poems inherit Du Fu's tradition in technique, and some of his works are similar to Du Fu's in style. Similar to Du Fu, Li Shangyin's The Book of Songs often uses allusions, which is more profound and difficult to understand than Du Fu's allusions, and every sentence often uses allusions. He is unique in the use of allusions, likes to use various symbols and metaphors, and sometimes he doesn't know what the purpose is when he reads complete poems. The meaning of allusions themselves is often not what Li Shangyin wants to express in his poems. For example, "Chang 'e", some people intuitively think it is a work praising Chang 'e, Ji Yun thinks it is a work mourning, some people think it is a description of a female Taoist priest, or even a poet's self-report, and there are different opinions. It is also his style of using allusions that forms his unique poetic style. According to Huang Jian's note "Yang Wengong Yuan Tan" in Song Dynasty, every time Li Shangyin wrote a poem, he would consult a large number of books, and the room was littered with stalls, which was compared to "Rex sacrificing fish". Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also said in a joking tone: "Rex Festival was once held in Ao Yun, and it was a piece of brocade." The criticism is that he sometimes uses too many allusions to make people unable to understand his poems. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Yu Xi was born with clear pronunciation and beautiful sentences. How dare he compare with others? I am dissatisfied with too many allusions." (1934 12 Letter to Yang Jiyun) In addition, Li Shangyin's poems are flowery and good at describing and expressing subtle feelings.

Personally, I prefer Li Shangyin's Untitled.

Untitled

Li shangyin

It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing and a hundred flowers are blooming.

Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.

In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song.

There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .
