According to the arrangement and research of Liu and Yu Shucheng [7], there are 594 poems handed down by Li Shangyin, of which 38 1 basically determines the writing time, and 2 13 cannot be classified as a specific year. In addition, there are more than a dozen poems suspected to be Li Shangyin's, but the evidence is insufficient.
There are 300 Tang poems, including 22 poems by Li Shangyin, ranking fourth.
His poems are novel in conception and rich in style, especially some love poems are lingering and memorable. But it is too obscure to be solved. There is a saying that "poets love Quincy, but only hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng".
Judging from the theme of chanting, Li Shangyin's poems can be mainly divided into several categories:
1, politics and history. As an intellectual who cares about politics, Li Shangyin wrote a lot of poems in this field, and about 100 poems have been handed down. Among them, Bai Yun in the Western Suburb, Shi Dong Sui and Two Feelings are more important works.
2. Express your feelings and recite things. Li Shangyin's career was bumpy all his life, and his ambition could not be realized, so he used poetry to dispel his depression and anxiety. Ding An Tie Tower, In Spring, Happy Garden and Du Gongbu in the Middle of Shu are the most popular songs.
3. Emotional poetry. The works that chant inner feelings, including most untitled poems, are the most distinctive parts of Li Shangyin's poems, and they are also the most concerned parts of later generations. Jinse, Poems of Yantai Mountain, Three Poems by Bi Cheng, Return to the Temple of Our Lady, etc. , has always maintained a style similar to untitled poetry.
4. Socialization and communication. Among Li Shangyin's poems used for communication, several poems addressed to Hu Ling Mao (seeing off to fill a vacancy, sending a message to Secretary Ling Huchong, paying for a doctor, sending him to be a bachelor, dreaming of being a bachelor, and Hu Ling Scheeren saying that the drama on the moon last night was a gift) are particularly eye-catching, which provides an explanation for his relationship with Hu Ling Mao.
