Features: Li Shangyin was an outstanding and representative poet of the late Tang Dynasty. His works sharply exposed the corrupt ruling class, reflected the perilous era of the declining Tang Dynasty, and portrayed the tragic fate and psychology of suppressed intellectuals of that time. In terms of poetic art, he broke through the situation where poets of the high Tang and mid-Tang dynasties had extensively explored and left little room for successors, creating a new poetic style that was elegant, profound, rich in melancholic sentiment, and symbolic implication. He made new contributions to the development of lyrical art in ancient poetry. This book mainly collects selected poems of Li Shangyin from the Tang Dynasty.
