#Tang Dynasty Poets Fun Facts# Li Shen

The poet Li Shen, who was a poet of mercy, left an image of compassion for the weak and suffering people to future generations. As everyone knows, Li Sheng, who was once the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the prime minister, gradually became cruel to the officials in the whirlpool of political games, forcing the uncles of the clan to pretend to be grandchildren, making old friends prisoners, and the people were often afraid of them. What's more, for the sake of the official queen gradually became extravagant, it is rumored that the gentry ate chicken tongue, each meal was a plate, and hundreds of live chickens were slaughtered at a meal. It seems that the tradition of believing that "Wen is like his person" is definitely a fallacy for Li Shen

【Li Shen's "Mercy Nong" 2 songs]

At noon on the day of hoeing,

Sweat drops under the soil.

Who knows the plate of Chinese food,

The grains are hard.

Spring planting a grain of millet,

Autumn harvest of 10,000 seeds.

There is no idle field in the four seas,

The farmer starved to death.
