Jin Se
[Author] Li Shangyin ? [Dynasty] Tang Dynasty
The Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, each string and one column reflects the past.
Zhuang Sheng was fascinated by butterflies in his dream, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart with cuckoos.
The moon in the sea has tears, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke.
Can this feeling be remembered? It was just that I was at a loss at that time.

The Se has twenty-five strings, but even so Every string and every syllable of it is enough to express my longing for those beautiful years.
Zhuang Zhou actually knew that he was just a butterfly longing for freedom. Emperor Wang's beautiful heart and deeds can move Du Juan.
The shadow of the bright moon in the sea is like a pearl turned from tears.
Only in the Lantian at that time and place can the good jade like smoke be produced.
Those beautiful things and times can only remain in memories. At that time, those people thought that those things were just normal, but they didn't know how to cherish them. Notes on "Jin Se"

He was originally from Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Henan Province). Jiaozuo City), a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose has high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, he is called "Xiao Li Du", and together with Wen Tingyun, he is called "Wen Li". Cheng Shi and Wen Tingyun have similar styles, and they are all ranked sixteenth in their families, so they are called the "Thirty-Sixth Body". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems, which are sentimental, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure and confusing to be understood. There is a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate that no one writes Zheng Jian." Because he was caught in the partisan struggle between Niu and Li, he was very frustrated in his life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Hanoi (now the junction of Qinyang City and Boai County, Jiaozuo, Henan). The works are included in "Li Yishan's Collected Poems".
