Who is the author of Spring Silkworm to Death, a poet in the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shangyin, whose name is Yishan, is a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty. It was also called Little Du Li with Du Mu at that time (Du Li refers to Li Bai and Du Fu). Li Shangyin likes writing some untitled poems very much. For example, silkworms in spring will keep spinning until they die. This poem comes from an untitled poem. The so-called untitled poem means that a poem has no title. Many of Li Shangyin's poems are beautiful, although they have no titles.

Li Shangyin pays great attention to the degree of artistic conception when writing poems, so he should have a beautiful artistic conception when reading them. Besides, most of Li Shangyin's poems are about love, such as Notes to a friend in the north on a rainy night, which was a love poem written to his wife at that time. There are also two poems by Ma Wei, which describe the stories of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. Of course, they also criticize Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

Because most of Li Shangyin's poems are about love, many people are also interested in Li Shangyin's love life. Li Shangyin's wife, Wang, has a name in history. However, some people infer from the poem "A Message to a Little niece" that Wang is Li Shangyin's second wife, and Li Shangyin's first wife may have died long ago. In addition, some people think that Li Shangyin once had a relationship with a female Taoist named Song Huayang. Because Li Shangyin once studied Taoism for a period of time, and the name Song Huayang is mentioned in many poems.

But these are people's speculations, because these histories are too long away from now, and the records at that time were not particularly detailed. However, although we can't fully understand his love life, the poems he left to the world can be sung forever. In fact, this is what people value most.
