What are the characteristics of Li Shangyin's and Du Mu's representative works?

Li Shangyin always entrusts his soul to the scenery, things or historical figures he praises, which makes the images have a strong symbolic color, merge with the author to a great extent, and even become the embodiment of the author. His poems show a strong sentimental tendency, and it can be said that the sentimental tone is the main theme running through his poems. Good use of allusions, accurate antithesis and beautiful language.

Du Mu's quatrains have beautiful pictures, beautiful language, long feelings, melodious style and unique art. The biggest feature of Du Mu's method is heroic and cool hair. On the dharma body, he pretended to be clumsy or ancient, showing a bold and vigorous momentum, thus enhancing the artistic conception of bold and unrestrained.

As for the artistic style of Du Mu's poems, it is "affectionate and gentle" compared with that of Li Shangyin's poems. In content, Du Mu's poems mostly show the poet's great ambition to save the country and the people. In artistic form, he pays attention to the magnanimity of heroism and the agitation of emotional catharsis, and has a heroic spirit.

Poetry is the ancestor of literature and the foundation of art. "A poet expresses his heart by feeling the situation, expressing his feelings and using art" (see Zhao Que's Preface to 300 Poems without Complaints). Poetry is a literary genre that expounds the soul, and a poet needs to master mature artistic skills and express social life and human spiritual world with concise language, rich emotions and rich images according to the requirements of certain syllables, tones and rhythms.

Confucius believes that poetry has four functions: arousing, observing, gathering and telling. Lu Ji believes that "poetry is beautiful because of love." In ancient China, unhappy people were called poems and happy people were called songs. In addition, The Book of Songs is also the original name of China's ancient literary work The Book of Songs (The Book of Songs began in the Western Han Dynasty).

The essential feature of poetry is lyrical beauty. No matter novels, essays, plays and the most beautiful places, the aura of poetry is shining. Therefore, poetry is literature in literature. Poetry is everywhere in the field of art, and the beauty of poetry is the highest embodiment of artistic beauty. The beauty of poetry also appears in the non-literary field from time to time, and the exquisite fragments in scientific works even exude wisdom in people's life and work.
