Features: Li Shangyin is one of the most artistically original great poets in the history of Chinese poetry and also a master of parallel prose. He represents the late Tang Dynasty but also transcends it. As research gradually deepens, his literary characteristics, significance, value, and his position in literary history will be increasingly understood and recognized. And with the progress of reform and opening-up and international cultural exchange, his poems that are both classical and distinctly modern will undoubtedly further reach the world. This collection of research materials on Li Shangyin was compiled to meet the needs of more people to understand and study Li Shangyin, his person, his poems, and his prose. In Chinese history, in many cases, literature is preserved and passed down because of the author's fame. But Li Shangyin's case is different. His poems and prose have been passed down to this day and revered and recited by generations, mainly thanks to their own artistic charm and unique value.
