A Short Message to Friends in the North on a Rainy Night is a poem by Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is the author's reply to Chang 'an's wife (a friend) in the form of a poem when living in a foreign land. The first two sentences of this poem, with questions and answers and descriptions of the immediate environment, illustrate each other's lonely feelings and deep thoughts. The last two sentences imagine the joy of meeting again tomorrow and laughing, reflecting the loneliness tonight. This poem is improvised, which instantly shows the twists and turns of the author's feelings.
The language is concise, and there is no trace of modification in the wording and sentence making. Unlike most of Li Shangyin's poems, which are rich in rhetoric, exquisite in allusions and good at symbolism, this poem is simple and natural, and also has the artistic characteristics of "deep sustenance and gentle wording". The whole poem has ingenious conception, ups and downs, shallow meaning, short words and long feelings, and has implicit power, which has attracted countless readers for thousands of years and made people never tire of reading it.
