Three autumn leaves can be dissolved, and February flowers can bloom.
Cross the river thousands of feet of waves, into the bamboo pole oblique.

It can make the leaves fall off in late autumn, can prompt the flowers of early spring and February, can set off thousands of feet of huge waves when passing through rivers, and can blow thousands of green bamboo trees crooked when scraping into the bamboo forest.
Li Zheng has one hundred and twenty "Miscellaneous Poems", divided into twelve categories, each poem is titled with one word, also known as "Single-titled Poem". These poems are poem by poem, such as "Wind", which was selected for the compilation of textbooks.
Li Zheng was a literary leader during the Wu Zetian and Tang Zhongzong periods, and was called Su Li along with Su Wei, and also known as the Four Friends of the Article (Cui Li Su Du) with Du Zhenyan, Cui Rong, and Su Wei, and was revered as the Elder of the Article in his later years.
Li Zhao was from the Li clan of Zhao County, and he can also be regarded as a famous person, but his birth and death years are not recorded in the old and new Book of Tang. In his early years and after li zhao, he successively served as a minor lieutenant of Anding, a lieutenant of Chang'an, a lieutenant of Inspector Yushi, a lieutenant of Shizhong, Sima of Runzhou, a fengge sheren, and a young supervisor of Lintai. During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Li Zhao was attached to Zhang Yizhi's brother, and during the Tang Zhongzong period, he also attached himself to Empress Wei and Wu Sansi, and achieved zhongshu ling, and was given the title of Duke of Zhao. Because of these two experiences of inflaming and attaching power, Li Zheng was despised by decent figures during the periods of Wu Zetian and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and even later historians demeaned him more than praised him.
By the time of Emperor Ruizong of Tang, Li Zheng was demoted to the title of Assassin of Huaizhou. However, at this time, Li Zheng was already old, and he retired from the official position of Huaizhou Assassin. When emperor Xuanzong of Tang arrived, Li Zheng was reinstated as an official, but instead of doing a history of assassination, he was demoted to Chuzhou Beichai, and later changed to Luzhou Beichai. In the second year of the new century, the 70-year-old Li Yu died in Luzhou.
Although there are not many records of Li Zhao in the history books, Ye Shi records several small stories about Li Zhao.
It is said that when Li Zheng was a child, he once had a strange dream in which a god man gave him two pens, and since then, his articles have grown greatly. Later generations also appeared according to this metaphor: using the "double pen" metaphor to distinguish the literary talent.
There is also a small story that Li Zheng had five brothers, most of whom died before the age of thirty. Li Zheng's mother was worried that Li Zheng would not live long, so she invited yuan Tiangang, a famous sackcloth expert, to show Li Zhao a picture.
Yuan Tiangang looked left and right, and told Li Zhao's mother that it would be difficult for his son to live past thirty years old. Mother Li was sad and sad, and repeatedly asked Yuan Tiangang to look at her son's lying face again. In this way, that night, Yuan Tiangang and Li Zheng slept in the same bed. This night, Yuan Tiangang found that Li Zheng slept without the sound of panting, and tried it with his hand, Yuan Tiangang found that Li Zheng's nose had no breath. This surprised him. Yuan Tiangang observed for a long time before he found that Li Zheng was actually breathing with his ears. This kind of turtle breath method is difficult for ordinary people to do, such a person is destined to be noble and live a long life, but when applied to Li Zhao, it is just not rich. Yuan Tiangang's words came true later.
Li Zheng had already become prime minister during the Wu Zetian period, but his family had always been poor, and his bedroom was made of coarse silk tents. This matter was known to Wu Zetian, and he felt that it was detrimental to the dignity of the great power, so he rewarded him with an embroidered tent used by the emperor in the palace. That night, Li Zheng slept in the embroidery tent, did not sleep well all night, and was uncomfortable. After he explained the reason to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian also went with him.
As a former generation of literary heroes, Li Zhao's poetry is naturally first-class. According to legend, one night in the later years of Tang Xuanzong, the actors of the Royal Song and Dance Theater sang a song from Li Zhao's old work "Fenyin Xing":
When the wealth and glory can be, the mountains and rivers are full of tears. There is no water on the water, only geese fly every autumn.
The literati Tang Xuanzong listened with mixed feelings, couldn't help but shed tears, and praised one after another, "Li Zhao's true talent is also." "
Later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Tang Xuanzong fled to Sichuan. On the way to escape, Tang Xuanzong climbed the Baiwei Ridge, looked back at the mountains and rivers, his heart fluctuated, and he couldn't help but recite these four poems of Li Zhao. At this time, Tang Xuanzong really felt that Li Zhao's poems were simply a rumor to him. He couldn't help but marvel again: "Li Zhao is really talented." "
As a literary leader of a period, Li Zheng played a great role in the development of Tang poetry.
