Li Qingzhao's Poetic Period

Li Qingzhao experienced the split between the north and the south, and the style of ci poetry changed greatly before and after the south crossing.

Li Qingzhao's poems before Nandu described the life of young girls and young women in the boudoir, such as A Dream Preface and Hating Grandsons. In the lively picture, she saw the author's cheerful and happy mood and relaxed and leisurely life. In Drunken Flowers, she implicitly describes the loneliness in the boudoir and the yearning for love. Small words such as "Feng Tai blows a flute" and "cutting plum" are also her boudoir feelings.

After crossing the south, the hardships of life made her ci style tend to be subtle and deep. Words such as Bodhisattva Man, Nian Nujiao and Slow Voice express the poet's feelings of long-term exile. Song of Eternal Sorrow is the representative work of this kind of words. On the Lantern Festival, the poet stayed away from the invitation of those BMW cars and tasted the desolation after the war alone. In this sentence, she has drifted from self-pity to worry.
