About the ancient poet Li Shangyin, 1200 is enough.

Li Shangyin is generally regarded as the most outstanding poet in the late Tang Dynasty. His poetic style is deeply influenced by Li He, and his syntax, composition and structure are all influenced by Du Fu and Han Yu. [6] Many critics believe that among the outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty, his importance is second only to Du Fu, Li Bai, Wang Wei and others. As far as the uniqueness of poetic style is concerned, he is not inferior to any poet. Those who appreciate Li Shangyin's poems and those who criticize him are all aimed at his distinctive personal style. Many poets in later generations imitated Li Shangyin's style, but none of them were recognized.

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.

Judging from the theme of chanting, Li Shangyin's poems can be mainly divided into several categories:

Politics and reciting 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. Li Shangyin's early political poems were mostly based on Chen's current situation, and their harsh tone of grief and indignation and sense of self-expectation reflected his mentality at that time. In poems about political and social contents, it is a feature of Li Shangyin's poems to borrow historical themes to reflect his views on contemporary society. Fu Hou, two poems of Northern Qi Dynasty, Mao Ling, etc. It is a representative.

Express one's 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. It is worth noting that many seven-character poems in this kind of works are considered as important successors of Du Fu's poetic style.

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. Five Willow Branches, Sending Friends to the North on a Rainy Night, Mourning for the Past and Going East, Three Passes of Snow, etc. It embodies the artistic conception of another style of Li Shangyin's emotional poems.

Socializing and communicating. 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.

Shi Li absorbed the strengths of predecessors, inherited the depression and frustration of Du Fu's Seven Laws, integrated the splendor and wealth of Qi Liang's poems, and imitated the ghostly fantasy of Li He's poems, forming his affectionate, lingering, aesthetic and delicate style. Shi Li is also good at using allusions and appropriate historical analogies to express hidden and unspeakable meanings.
