Why did Li Yi become a frontier poet? What factors influenced him?

Excellent poetry is the highest achievement in Tang poetry, and it is also worth studying. Yi Lee's poems are also very good. From Li Yi's poems, we can understand the frontier fortress scene at that time, and Li Yi is also a representative of frontier fortress poets in Tang Dynasty. Li Yi was the most famous frontier poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, and his frontier works were excellent. Meanwhile, let's talk about why he became a famous frontier poet.

Li Yi, a native of Gansu, was born into a family of military commanders. He lived in frontier fortress since childhood. Later, when Tubo entered Gansu, Li Yi's family went to live in the Central Plains. Moreover, Li Yi has been in officialdom for more than 30 years, and his experience in frontier fortress is also very profound. At the same time, he can feel a certain heroism in Li Yi's poems. Li Yi was a flying general after Li Guang in the Western Han Dynasty. After becoming a general, Li Yi is no stranger to military career, even very familiar with it. So Li Yi later came to frontier fortress to write frontier fortress poems.

Yi Lee experienced war when he was young, and at the same time, he also experienced the sufferings brought to the people by the war. This wandering life also inspired his enthusiasm for frontier fortress, paved the way for Li Yi to join the army to serve the country and create frontier fortress poems, and paved the way for Li Yi to become an excellent frontier fortress poet.

Li Yi's career was frustrated, but Li Yi failed to gain fame, so Li Yi reconsidered his life direction when his career was frustrated. After the Anshi Rebellion, he wanted to make a reward by doing military service and came to the frontier alone. Li Yi wrote frontier poems in the middle and late Tang Dynasty and lived in frontier fortress all the year round, which also accumulated rich materials and experience for his frontier poems.

It is because of personal observation of the hard frontier life that Li Yi can create rich frontier poems. Li Yi was in a weak period in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so frontier fortress and war became an indelible and important element in people's lives at that time. At the same time, coupled with personal career setbacks, he went to the frontier fortress, which is also one of his choices.
