The characteristics of Shang Yin's untitled poems are: conveying some abstract feelings and thoughts through the overall artistic image. The kind of lovesickness, pursuit and sadness revealed by the lyric hero in the poem probably contains or permeates the author's mental depression of political frustration, knowing that his ambition is hard to pay, but he still refuses to sink. This artistic conception of Li Shangyin's Untitled Poem is the inheritance and development of China's lyric skills in ancient poetry.
(a) reflected in the poem.
Li Shangyin prefers descriptive images in poetry. He likes to write images such as rain, candles, willows, wind, butterflies and night. Rain, fluttering, willows, parting thoughts, candles, swaying, swaying ... The image chosen by the poet itself has a hazy feeling. In addition, the poet borrowed some special decorations to make these images light, ethereal and even difficult to perceive.
(2) The embodiment in allusions.
The hazy beauty of Li Shangyin's poems is also reflected in his use of allusions. Ancient literati poems like to use allusions, especially after the system of five-character and seven-character poems in Tang Dynasty was finalized. Li Shangyin's use of allusions in his poems is unique.
There are many poems describing love in the late Tang Dynasty, among which Wen, who is also called "Wen Li" with Li Shangyin, and Du Mu, who is called "Little Du Li", have many excellent love works. Relatively speaking, among Li Shangyin's nearly 600 poems handed down from generation to generation, love poems account for a small proportion, and readers are actually most familiar with them. The most appropriate way to feel the beauty of distance in Li Shangyin's poems is to read and analyze his love poems carefully. Among them, the most unforgettable is the famous sentence "time was long before I met her, but it took longer, because we were separated, and the east wind has risen and a hundred flowers are blooming".
