), poetry has become a tool for people to attack reality and there is not much room for imagination. The Tang Dynasty changed from extroversion to introversion, and the mood of poets in the Tang Dynasty became more and more old, and poetry also changed from sensibility to rationality, from singing to speech. Similarly, Li He's poems also contain many realistic elements. Different from Bai Juyi, he pays more attention to the inner world and reflects the external world through the inner world. Deep thinking is the moving part of Li He's poems, and the strangeness of literary thinking is its unique feature, so his poems can be regarded as singing. Of course, they are singing lamentations, and their mood is undoubtedly sad, which is very different from previous depression and later anger.
First, sadness from internal troubles and foreign invasion.
Li Shangyin's Biography of Li Changji wrote, "Long and thin, with long eyebrows and claws." This description seems to be in line with our accustomed image of Shi Gui, but I think the title of "Shi Gui" is actually more inclined to evaluate the artistic characteristics of poetry and has little to do with the image of the poet. Li He devoted himself to poetry. As far as his feelings are concerned, he is an ordinary poet, not Shi Gui. The so-called life consciousness in Li He's poems is essentially a kind of sadness that stems from difficulties and is stronger than ordinary people.
