Li Shangyin had no ambitions all his life, and he was in a very embarrassing situation in the "Niu-Li Party Struggle", and he only served as a small staff member throughout his life. Many people may not be clear, what is the official position of the staff? In fact, it is not an official position, to use more popular words to explain, that is, equivalent to a secretary, nothing more than running errands and writing some official documents. Such a job can be done by ordinary literati, and the work of having Li Shangyin as a secretary is equivalent to oversized.
Li Shangyin also often laments the misfortune of life in his works, for this reason, the style of his poems is mostly gloomy, only love poems always maintain a high degree of lyricism, even if the love poems created when life is at the lowest point, it is also full of strong love. When he was just married, in the face of his wife Wang Shi, he wrote a touching "Gift of Lotus Flowers", the whole poem has emotion and delicacy, and at the same time reveals a piece of deep affection of the poet.
Wang's appearance is very beautiful, and he knows Dali, which makes Li Shangyin very satisfied, so the two people have a good relationship, which shows the position of Wang in Li Shangyin's mind. At that time, Li Shangyin mixed quite well, because he could write poetry and write articles well, so he was valued by the prime minister at that time, Ling Huchu, and arranged for him to be cultivated carefully. Ling Huchu's purpose is very clear, as long as it is a talent that naturally has to be used for himself, that period of time is also Li Shangyin's spring breeze, and many people are optimistic about him, thinking that he will definitely make a difference in the future. But he fell in love with the Wang family again, and since then his life has begun to fall into difficulties and he has gradually been marginalized.
Ling Huchu was an important member of the Niu Party, and in the eyes of many people at the time, Li Shangyin naturally belonged to it, but the thing was so coincidental, Wang Maoyuan's father Wang Maoyuan was a member of the Li Party, and this ideological confrontation shocked Ling Huchu greatly. Li Shangyin, because he loved the Wang clan and loved him like crazy, did not follow Ling Huchu's advice, and married him shortly after he had just met. This incident completely angered Ling Huchu, which also made Li Shangyin's situation very embarrassing, after all, for the Niu Party, it was tantamount to betrayal; however, the members of the Li Party also had a lot of criticism of him, feeling that Li Shangyin was unreliable, so he was always depressed in the "Niu-Li Party Dispute".
Li Shangyin gave up everything for love, if he had not married Wang And had been following Ling Huchu, at least there were still many opportunities, but for love, Li Shangyin did not care. It can also be seen from this that Li Shangyin is truly in love with the Wang clan, and can do everything for her. In fact, in this poem "Giving Lotus Flowers", you can feel the poet's deep affection, as well as the fascination with the Wang family, which alone has touched countless readers throughout the ages.
The flowers and leaves of the world are not compatible, and the flowers are dusted into the golden pots of leaves.
(However) there are green lotus red lotus, and the curl is open and closed to ren naïve.
This flower and this leaf often reflect each other, and the green reduces the red and decays and kills people.
Through the previous brief introduction, after a little understanding of Li Shangyin's situation and a deep affection for Wang's family, then read this poem again, then there will be a different understanding, and the understanding of the whole poem will be more profound. Li Shangyin could have had a better life, but for love, in order to be able to live with Wang's looks, he would rather live a hard life, which is also Li Shangyin's attitude towards love, so the whole poem reveals a strong sense of love, every sentence is very touching, becoming the most shocking poem in Li Shangyin's many love poems.
Li Shangyin is through the relationship between the lotus and the lotus leaf, in order to express the deep feelings of the two people, in the first two sentences is to illustrate this, the world's attitude to the flower is different, plant the flower in the pot, then the flower and the leaf will eventually fall into the soil, and then merge with each other to form a whole. The third and fourth sentences are written about the coexistence between lotus flowers and lotus leaves, although the lotus flowers are beautiful, but also green leaves to foil, only in this way can we highlight the beauty of lotus flowers. Lotus leaves have curly and soothing, lotus flowers have open and close, and the two can grow together when combined. This also means that he and the Wang clan are a match made in heaven.
At the end, Li Shangyin still expresses the relationship between them, as long as they are married, then they are like lotus flowers and lotus leaves for a long time, and they shine with each other. You must know that when the lotus leaf withers, the lotus flower will also wither, and then people will have a lot of sorrow when they see it. It is Li Shangyin's insistence on love, as well as his love for his wife, so the whole poetry is beautiful, the writing is very touching, and every sentence is very affectionate.
