Creative background:

Thirteen Poems of Nanyuan by Li He is a set of miscellaneous poems written by the author when he retired from his post and returned to Changgu, Fuchang, while living in his hometown Nanyuan. The book was written in Tang Xianzong Yuanhe from eight years (865,438+03) to eleven years (865,438+06).

About the author:

Li He (about 79 1 year-about 8 17), with a long word, is "the pioneer of Changji's poetry." During the Tang Dynasty, a native of Fuchang, Henan Province (now Yiyang County, Luoyang, Henan Province), lived in Fuchang Changgu, later called Li Changgu, and was a descendant of the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's uncle Li Liang.

Li He was a romantic poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and he was also called "Sanli" in Tang Dynasty with Li Bai and Li Shangyin. It is a representative of the transition period from the middle Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. Most of his poems lament the untimely birth, feel depressed and express the pursuit of ideals and ambitions; It reflects the situation that the vassal region was divided, the eunuchs were authoritarian and brutally exploited the people.

Li He's poems are full of imagination, and often convey his feelings with myths and legends, so later generations often call him "a genius" and "Shi Gui", and his poems are called "the words of a ghost fairy". There are famous articles such as Wild Goose Gate Taishouxing and Yu Liping Yin.
