Although my body has no bright phoenix wings, I can feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn.

Although my body doesn't have Cai Feng's wings, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of Kirin from the first of two untitled poems written by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty.

1, explain

Although the body can't compare with Qi Fei without Cai Feng's wings, his heart is like a spirit and his feelings are closely linked.

2. Author information

Li Shangyin (about 8 13- about 858), a native of Yuxi, was born in Fan Nansheng. Wen, also known as "Xiao" with Du Mu, originated from Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Qinyang City, Henan Province) and moved to Xingyang (now Zhengzhou City, Henan Province) in the late Tang Dynasty to write poems.

Li Shangyin's poetry is unique in the late Tang Dynasty, because he is sentimental and devoted to it. He uses many works to express the feelings of late Tang scholars and their persistence in love, thus creating a new style and a new realm of poetry. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems, which are lingering and memorable.

In addition, Li Shangyin used subtle and hazy expression techniques to the extreme, but some poems were too obscure and puzzling to be solved. There was a saying that "poets always loved Quincy, but only hated that no one wrote Jian Zheng".

Li Shangyin is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. His poems are ingenious in conception, expressing deep feelings with implicit symbolism, exquisite rhetoric, euphemistic and harmonious rhyme and subtle twists and turns. Li Shangyin longed to return to heaven and earth and urged the Tang Dynasty to revive its ambition. However, by the late Tang Dynasty, his ambition could not be realized.

Li Shangyin is also an outstanding poet in the late Tang Dynasty. His poems are excellent in all aspects, especially the poems with five or seven words. His seven-character poems are even better than Du Fu's in the late Tang Dynasty. His main works are Yaochi, etc.

First place in two untitled songs

Don

The stars were bright last night, but there was a cool breeze at midnight. Our banquet is on the side of Hualou Temple and the east of the county. Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same. Guessing and intrigue, wine warms the heart; This group of people came to the bet of drinking friends, and a win-lose red in candlelight. Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.

4. Translation

Last night, the stars were shining, but there was a cool breeze blowing in the middle of the night; Our banquet is located on the west side of the painting building and on the east side of Guitang. Without Cai Feng's wings, you can't compare with Qi Fei; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are closely linked.

Guess and play with each other, and drink spring wine every other seat to warm your heart; Let's make a toast in groups. The candles are red. Alas, when you listen to the five drums, you should go to court; Riding to Lantai is like Artemisia capillaris floating in the wind.
