What are the characteristics of Li Yu's poems?

His early ci style was beautiful and soft, and he didn't break away from the habit of "flowers". According to the content, it can be roughly divided into two categories: one is to describe the magnificent palace life and the affair between men and women, such as Bodhisattva Man and Ying Huan.

Due to the great changes in life, his later poems made the king of national subjugation the "Southern King" of the eternal poetry circle (Shen Xiong's "Ancient and Modern" language in the Qing Dynasty), which is exactly "the unfortunate poet of the country, blessed with vicissitudes of life".

These sad and tragic late ci poems have far-reaching artistic conception, which laid the foundation of the so-called "graceful school" such as Liu Yong and became a generation of masters in the history of ci poems. As for the beauty of its sentences, it is unprecedented. Such as "Yu Meiren" and "Langtaosha Order".
