Works by Li Shangyin
"Untitled"
It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered.
The spring silkworms will not run out until they die, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.
When I look into the mirror at dawn, I am worried about the clouds on my temples. When I sing at night, I should feel the cold moonlight.
There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting.
"Jin Se"
The Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, each string and one column is reminiscent of the past.
Zhuang Sheng was fascinated by butterflies in his dream, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart with cuckoos.
The moon in the sea has tears, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke.
This feeling can be remembered later, but it was already at a loss.
"Wandering Alone in Qujiang in Late Autumn"
Spring hates growing when lotus leaves grow, and autumn hates growing when lotus leaves wither.
I know that my love will always be there, and I look at the sound of the river at the head of the river. Introduction to the character of Li Shangyin
In the second year of Kaicheng (837), he passed the imperial examination and became a secretary of the Provincial School Secretary. He moved to Hongnong County and became a staff member of Wang Maoyuan (father-in-law), the governor of Jingyuan. Involved in the political whirlpool of the "Niu-Li Party Controversy", he was ostracized and struggled throughout his life. In the last year of Dazhong (about 858), he died of illness in Zhengzhou. Li Shangyin was one of the few poets in the late Tang Dynasty and even the entire Tang Dynasty who deliberately pursued poetic beauty.
He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose is of high literary value. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems, which are sentimental, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems (represented by "Jin Se") are too obscure and difficult to interpret. There is a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate that no one writes Zheng Jian."
