Another category of his poems is lyric poems, including love poems, object-chanting poems and erotic poems, which record the poet's life experience, unspeakable emotions and many life sentiments. These poems have attracted readers for thousands of years with their unique artistic characteristics and become the capital for Li Shangyin to shine in the poetry circle. Their unique style has become an important symbol that distinguishes Li Shangyin from other poets.
Judging from the history of Tang poetry, Li Shangyin had great poets such as Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Li Bai and Du Fu before him. Therefore, it is really difficult for Li Shangyin to break through their creative direction, so Li Shangyin has to find another way and seek new creative methods. In this way, due to his unique creative method and his unique life experience, it constitutes the basic characteristics of Li Shangyin's poems. The author summarizes these characteristics as emotional, symbolic and fuzzy. The following specific analysis of its hazy and fuzzy characteristics.
Fuzziness is the most striking feature of Li Shangyin's poems, which is the sign that Li Shangyin's poems are different from other poets, and it is also the basis that he can keep pace with Li He, Du Mu, Wen and others. This feature is mainly due to the vague beauty in his lyric poems, which makes his poetic rhyme endless and reaches the height of beauty. As Ye Xie said: "The beauty of poetry lies in its immeasurable implication and subtle thinking, which is pinned on the meeting without solution;" What is said here is intended to be another. It is the best to leave the image without a clue, never talk about it, and be poor in thinking, attracting people to the realm of obscurity. "
Such as his poem "Chang 'e": "The shadow of the mica screen candle is deep, the long river is gradually falling, and the stars are sinking. Chang 'e should regret stealing the elixir. The sky is blue and the night is night. " The meaning of the poem is probably: yellow candlelight flickers in the atrium, casting a deep shadow on the mica screen. The milky way is gradually setting to the west, and the stars are about to sink. Chang 'e must have regretted stealing Shenwan at that time, so that she lived alone in Guanghan Palace and had to face the lonely blue sea and blue sky every night. There are always different opinions about what this poem expresses and what it expresses.
Another example is his poem "Three Poems Written by Bi Cheng": "Twelve poems written by Bi Cheng are withered, and rhinoceros opens the dust and jade to open the cold. There are many books attached to cranes in Yuen Long, and women's makeup has no trees. When the stars sink to the bottom of the sea, you can see them from the window. When the rain crosses the river, you can see them from another seat. If Zhu Xiao is bright and firm, a pair of crystal plates will grow. " "The voice of the shadow is pitiful, and the lotus leaf in the fishpond is Tian Tian. Don't look back at Shaw History, and don't look at Hongya patting her on the shoulder. Purple phoenix wears Chupei, and red scales dance wildly out of Hunan? . E Jun watches the boat in the middle of the night, embroidering and burning alone. " "Tanabata first, bridal chamber? The foil is still hanging. The jade wheel shines on the rabbit's first life, and the iron net coral has no branches. Stop with God in landscape teaching, and write about lovesickness on phoenix paper.
The Biography of Huang Wu was there, but I didn't know it was in the world. Later generations' interpretation of these three poems is also controversial, because they all have strong ambiguity. This ambiguity is a kind of ambiguity in connotation, giving people a hazy feeling. For these three poems, the annotators have their own opinions, but they can't be unified. Some say it's a satire on Princess Tang's antics, some say it's a story about the imperial concubine, and some say Li Shangyin is showing his love for the crown. It is true that reading his poems at first is confusing, but readers try their best to wander deeply in the poet's description, and they can realize that this reflects some psychological conflict of the poet. This group of poems shows the artistic realm of "poetry beyond poetry, with far-reaching implications" [3], which has played a good artistic effect.
