Li Shangyin was born in Qinyang City, Henan Province, about 8 13 ~ about 858. A famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, together with Du Mu, was called Du Xiaoli. In 837, in the second year of Kaicheng, he served as a scholar and secretary of provincial studies, moved to hongnong county, and became the adjutant of our ambassador to Jingyuan, Wang Maoyuan. Involved in the political whirlpool of the dispute between Niu and Li, he was marginalized and frustrated all his life. In his later years, he died in Zhengzhou.
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, such as Jinse, are so obscure that some poets always love Quincy and hate that no one comments on Jian Zheng.
There are about 600 poems handed down by Li Shangyin, among which the themes of current politics are directly touched, accounting for a considerable proportion. Li Shangyin's epic has made great achievements. They are by no means morbid moans about past love, and they are also different from those poems written by predecessors. Instead, Chen's politics, which is based on historical experience and lessons, is supplemented by current comments, making history-chanting a special form of political poetry.
Untitled poetry is Li Shangyin's unique creation. Most of them take the lovesickness of men and women as the theme, with faint artistic conception, full of twists and turns of feelings, beautiful words, pleasant tone, which can be dense and dense, and makes people sad to read. Li Shangyin's world outlook basically belongs to the Confucian system because of his childhood environment and education. His attitude towards life is to actively join the WTO and eager to make a difference.
At the same time, he was able to think independently, dismissing the preaching that learning the Tao must seek the ancients, because literature must learn the ancients, and even boldly suggested that Confucius had something beyond morality and righteousness. In poetry creation, he was initially fascinated by Li's lofty style and the poetic style of the Southern Dynasties, and wrote many poems praising love, such as Yantai, Heyang and Hanoi.
After his repeated humiliation and destruction showed him the rugged road of life, his poems began to show resentment and some criticism to society. In the end, the change of manna opened his eyes with bloody reality and made him take a big step forward in thought and creation. At this time, his poems such as "Two Feelings" and "Re-feeling" have been quite profound and powerful in criticizing decadent politics.
