Creative background:

Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the momentum has declined. Governors are independent, eunuchs are authoritarian. When talented people are released and angered, resentful works are produced. After Liu Yuxi was transferred from Beijing official to local official, he also wrote famous works, such as Nine Poems of Langtaosha.

This group of poems should be Liu Yuxi's later works, not created at one time and one place. According to the Yellow River, Luoshui, Bianshui, Qinghuai, Nautilus Island, Zhuo Jinjiang, etc. Poems, or works for activities in Kuizhou, Hezhou and Luoyang, were later compiled into a group. Some scholars believe that this group of poems was written in the late Kuizhou period, that is, in the spring of the second year of Changqing (AD 822).

The author introduces:

Liu Yuxi (772~842), a native of Luoyang, Henan Province, called himself "Luoyang", and was born in Zhongshan with the name of Liu Sheng and zhongshan jing wang (a descendant of Xiongnu). Ministers, writers and philosophers in the Tang Dynasty were called "poets".

In the ninth year of Zhenyuan, Zhongjinshi published the book "The Study of Prince Brown", moved to Huainan Records Institute to join the army, and joined the Du You shogunate, which won great trust and esteem. Du You entered the DPRK as the prime minister and moved to the empire. At the end of Zhenyuan, he joined the "two kings and eight horses" political group headed by the prince.

After Tang Shunzong acceded to the throne, he implemented the "Yongzhen Innovation". After the failure of innovation, Guanhai experienced ups and downs and was repeatedly relegated. In the second year of Huichang, he moved to be a guest of honor for the Prince and died in Luoyang at the age of 71. He was posthumously given to his retainer and buried in Xingyang. ?

He was called "Liu Liu" with Liu Zongyuan, "Three Masters" with Wei and Bai Juyi, and "Bai Liu" with Bai Juyi, leaving behind his masterpieces such as Humble Room, Zhi Zhu Ci, Yang Liuzhi Ci and Wuyi Lane.

Three philosophical works, The Theory of Heaven, discuss the materiality of heaven and analyze the origin of the theory of destiny, which is materialistic. He is the author of Collected Works of Liu Mengde and Collected Works of Liu Binke.
