Li Qingzhao commented on Xiang Yu’s poem: He was born as a hero, and died as a ghost hero. From "Summer Quatrains" by Li Qingzhao. "Summer Quatrain" is a five-character quatrain composed by Li Qingzhao, a poet in the Song Dynasty. This is a nostalgic poem that uses the past to satirize the present and express grief and indignation. The first two sentences of the poem are astonishing and speak directly from the heart, proposing that people should "be born as heroes", make contributions to the country, and serve the court; "die" should also be "ghost heroes", so as to be worthy of being a good man who stands upright and upright. The deep patriotism burst out and shocked people's hearts.

Summer Quatrains
The author Li Qingzhao lived in the Song Dynasty
He was a hero in life and a hero in death.
I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
Li Qingzhao, named Yi'an Jushi, is Han nationality and a native of Jinan, Qizhou. A female poet in the Song Dynasty, a representative of the Wanyue Ci School, she is known as "the most talented woman of all time".
Li Qingzhao was born in a scholarly family and lived a wealthy life in her early years. Her father, Li Gefei, had a rich collection of books. She laid a literary foundation in a good family environment when she was a child. After getting married, he and his husband Zhao Mingcheng devoted themselves to collecting and organizing calligraphy, painting and inscriptions. When the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, they lived in the south and were in a lonely situation.
In the early stage of his poems, he mostly wrote about his leisurely life, but in the later stage, he mostly lamented his life experience and had a sentimental mood. In terms of form, he makes good use of line drawing techniques, creates his own channels, and uses clear and beautiful language. The argument emphasizes the law of association, advocates elegance, puts forward the saying "don't be the same family" in lyrics, and opposes writing lyrics in the same way as poetry. He is capable of poetry, but not much remains. Some of his chapters are timely and historical, and his sentimental words are generous, which is different from his style of writing.
There are "Collected Works of Yi An" and "Yi An's Ci", which have been lost. Later generations have a compilation of "Shu Yu Ci". Now there is "Li Qingzhao's Collection and Annotations".
