Li Shangyin was one of the few poets who deliberately pursued the beauty of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry creation, with novel ideas and beautiful style. In particular, some love poems and untitled poems are touching and beautiful, widely read and highly respected.
In addition, there are about 600 poems of Li Shangyin handed down, among which those that directly touch the current political theme account for a considerable proportion. Li Shangyin's epic has made great achievements. They are by no means sick moans of "thinking about the past", and they are also different from those poems written by predecessors that send feelings to the past. They take history as a mirror, Chen's politics as a mirror, and the criticism of the times as a supplement, making history-chanting a special form of political poetry.
