Jia Sheng is an epic poem by Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. With the help of Jia Yi's experience, it satirizes the present and expresses the poet's sense of lack of talent. It is ironic, profound and powerful. While sympathizing with Jia Yi's talent, he expressed the sadness that the author himself was politically excluded and his ambition was hard to pay.
Background of ancient poetry creation
There are two opinions about the writing age of this poem. One is that Feng Hao said in Notes on Poems Born in Yuxi that this poem was written by Li Shangyin in in the first month of the second year of Dazhong (848) when he was ordered by Zheng Ya, the secretariat of Guangxi, to serve as county magistrate in Zhaozhou. Because Li Shangyin is the head of a county, he has to sacrifice great events, so he wrote this poem with the title.
Another view was put forward by Liu Yang, who believed that this poem was written in March and April of the second year of Dazhong, when Li Shangyin left Guilin and stayed in Beijing. See Comment on Li Shangyin.
