At the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the heroes came together. Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, raised his troops in Jinyang in the name of respecting the Sui Dynasty. He made great progress all the way. In November of the 13th year of Daye (617), he captured Chang'an and supported Yang You. Emperor Sui Yang died of illness the following year, Yang You gave the throne to Li Yuan, and the Tang Dynasty was officially established.
In order to compete for the throne, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, and Li Yuan became the throne. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he became Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. During his reign, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty worked hard to create the rule of Zhenguan. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty left a legacy in Zhenguan Next, he created the rule of Yonghui, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty created the prosperous Kaiyuan era when all nations came to dynasty.
Under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Tang poetry also developed. Although Tang poetry was at its peak during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, poetry creation in the middle and late Tang Dynasty continued to decline. Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Bai Juyi, and Li He appeared successively. , Li Shangyin and other poets with different styles.
Li He is a distant branch of the Tang clan. Because when Wu Zetian was in power, he persecuted the descendants of the great ancestor of the Li family. By the time of Li He's father, Li Jinsu, the family had long been in decline. Li He was very concerned about his own possession of the Li Tang clan. He was very proud of his noble ancestry. He wrote many times in his poems: among the kings of the Tang Dynasty, Li Changji, Zongsun Butiao and so on.
Li He was a romantic poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. He, Li Bai and Li Shangyin became the three Lis of the Tang Dynasty. His poems were very imaginative. He often used myths and legends to describe the past and the present. His poems were called "Ghosts and Immortals". "Words", so later generations also called him the Poet Ghost. Although he was recommended by Han Yu and held the ninth rank official position, he was appointed Fenglilang. However, during his three years in Chang'an, he saw a lot of darkness in the officialdom.
Li He's poetry also began to change. He wrote many poems that successfully reflected reality. Most of his works were produced during this period and had no success. There was no hope of promotion, and he struggled in the officialdom. His sorrow, anger, and loneliness became more and more serious, and he also contracted illness. Li He wrote "The Second Work of Kaichou Gehua" for this reason: I feel dissatisfied at twenty. I am as sad as a withered orchid. to express your depression.
In the 11th year of Yuanhe (816), the northern vassal towns were domineering and separatist forces were rampant. Xi Shimei's rebellion failed, so he reported illness and went to Luoyang to recuperate. As a subordinate of Xi Shimei, Li He had no way out. He could only support his frail body and return to his former residence in Changgu. He died of illness not long after, at the age of only 27.
Li He, who had suffered a life of misery, even wrote "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old" to express his sad emotions. This sentence comes from Li He's "The Golden Bronze Immortal's Ci Han Song": Shei Lan saw off his guests on the road to Xianyang. If the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old. Since he wrote "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old." Ancient literati have always used this as the first couplet and the second couplet.
During the Tang Dynasty, no literati used this sentence. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was quoted a lot. In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu wrote in "Reducing the Characters of Mulan": "Sad and separated." If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old. What does this mean? As thin as light silk and as thin as waves.
Yuan Haowen wrote in "Die Lian Hua": People who have passed by have troubled themselves. I've already found her, and I'll make an appointment for next year. If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old. The only good thing in the world is ruthlessness.
Shen Zengzhi, who lived in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, wrote in "Golden Thread Songs Paintings for Tibetan Mountain": The last song is a reward for listening to it. I am neither a fish nor a son, whoever knows better will win. If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old, and the beauty of the eyes will fade away and it will be difficult to recognize.
One of the most classic sentences is that Shi Yannian of the Song Dynasty used "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old" as the first couplet, and the next sentence is: "The moon is like a traceless moon, which is always round." The sky is opposite to the moon, and the traceless moon is opposite. There is love, the moon is always round and the sky is old. It is impossible for heaven and earth to be sentient, just as the moon cannot always be round, and the miserable mood is even higher.
