In the third year of Emperor Wenzong Daiwa (829), Tian Pingjun invited Ling Huchu to enter the curtain. In the sixth year of Daiwa, Linghu Chu was transferred to Hedong and stayed in the north. Li Shangyin followed him to Taiyuan. Cui Rong stayed in the shogunate after a short observation in Yanhai. In the second year, I entered the Jinshi. The following winter, Linghu Chu died of illness, and the poet lost his dependence. The following year, I went to Jingzhou (now Jingchuan County, Gansu Province) to meet my ambassador to Jingyuan, Wang Maoyuan, and married my daughter. At that time, the struggle between the two bureaucratic groups headed by Niu Sengru and Li Deyu in the Tang Dynasty was entering a white-hot stage. Linghu Chu and his son belong to the Niu school, and Yuan is closely related to Li school. Li Shangyin turned to Wang Maoyuan's door. Although he has no partisan views, Hu Ling and Niudang people think that he is "ungrateful" and "infeasible" (biography of Li Shangyin in the old Tang Dynasty) and try their best to exclude him. From then on, he fell into the trough of factional struggle and became a victim of political struggle. In the spring of this year, he took the exam of erudite macro-words, which was taken by the examiner for the first time, but his name was removed by influential people in Zhongshu Province during the second interview. The following year, Brown was released as the secretary of the provincial school, and later transferred to Hongnong County Commandant. Because of the "living prison", he touched his boss and was almost dismissed. In the winter of five years, he resigned from his post and asked him to be transferred to Huichang.
In two years, the book was rated as excellent and the secretary province re-entered. Soon after, I lost my family because of my mother. Hui Chang returned to his post after serving in the winter for five years. After Xuanzong ascended the throne, the political measures against Wu Zongchao led to the exile of Li Deyu Party, which gained power in Huichang years, and Hu Ling became prime minister, further depressing the poet. He had no choice but to settle down in a distant shogunate in Beijing. From the first year of Dazhong to the ninth year, I went to Guizhou (now Guilin, Guangxi), Xuzhou and Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan) three times as staff officers, all of which were embarrassing. Before Dazhong went to Zizhou shogunate in five years, his wife Wang died, which made him suffer a heavy mental blow. When I lived in Dongchuan, I was often depressed, worshiped Buddhism and even wanted to become a monk. In the winter of Dazhong nine years, the Zizhou shogunate went on strike and the poet returned to Chang 'an. The following year, he was promoted to the post of salt and iron, and traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. In the twelfth year of Dazhong, he resigned and returned to Zhengzhou to live in seclusion. He died around the end of this year. Li Shangyin's poems were included in Li Yishan's Poems. There are three volumes, namely "Guge Engraving Edition of the Ming Dynasty" and "Complete Poems of Tang Poetry". There are also six volumes of Benji printed by Jiajing Piling in Ming Dynasty, and seven volumes of Three Sets of Tang Dynasty published by Jiang Daosheng in Ming Dynasty. No comments. According to records, Liu Ke and Zhang Wenliang wrote notes for his poems, but they have not been handed down. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Daoyuan annotated Shi Li, but the book was not published. In the early Qing Dynasty, Zhu absorbed some of his achievements, supplemented them, and compiled Three Volumes of Poems with a chronology, which is the earliest extant collection of Li's poems. Later, Shen Hou compiled the comments of He Chao, Zhu Zun and Ji Yun into Zhu Zhuben, which became a well-known poetry collection in Li Yishan. During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, there were successively Lv Kunzeng, Mengxing Cheng, Yao Peiqian and Qu□ who commented on Li Shangyin's poems, among which Feng Hao's comments on Yu□ sheng's poems were the most praised. According to the New Tang Book, Li Shangyin's works include 20 volumes of Fan Nanjia Collection, 20 volumes of B Collection, Fu 1 volume, Wen 1 volume, 8 volumes of Collected Works and 20 volumes of Other Collections, all of which are scattered. The collected works of Zhu Jiang and Tang were re-compiled, supplemented by Xu Jiong and Xu Shugu, and became 10 Volume Annotations on Collected Works of Li Yishan. There are also five volumes of "Four Editions" to photocopy old banknotes and "Collected Works of Li Yishan". According to the classification of Xu's notes, eight volumes of Detailed Notes on Fan Nan's Literary Works were compiled, with the receipt of 150. During the reign of Daoguang and Xianfeng, Qian Zhenlun collected more than 200 pieces of Li Shangyin's parallel prose from the Complete Works of the Tang Dynasty, and compiled them into the Supplement to Fan Nanwen Collection (12), which was annotated separately with his brother Qian Zhenchang, and the chronology was wrong. About Li Shangyin's life story, there are biographies in both the old and the new Tang Shu, and Yuan Xinwen's Biography of Tang Caizi added some anecdotes. The chronicle of Zhu is the first chronicle in China, but there are many omissions. After Feng Hao's revision, the poet's life was vivid, and the chronology of poems was basically fixed. However, Feng did not see the supplement of Li Shangyin's Collected Works, and there were still many omissions and mistakes in mastering the materials. Later, according to the articles collected in the Supplement, Qian Zhenlun made some mistakes to Feng Pu. On the basis of Feng, Qian and others, Zhang Caitian, a close friend, wrote the Jade Chronicle, searched a lot of historical materials, further researched the poet's life experience and chronology of poems, and made a new exploration on the writing background and intention of many works. It is a monograph on Li Shangyin's life and creation. However, there is too much emphasis on the method of "exploring the inner melody" in the book, and there are still some conjectures about the attached chapters, so mistakes in revision are inevitable. Cen You wrote a special article "Notes on Yusheng Chronicle" to correct it. Zhang also wrote poems, mainly refuting the comments of He Chao, Zhu Zun and Ji Yun, involving the understanding of Li Shangyin's poems, which can be seen in the chronicle notes.
