Leyuan Scenic Area is a tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty. Until the turn of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Leyuan Scenic Area was still a good place for Beijingers to visit. At the same time, due to its high geographical position, literati often come here to express their feelings with poems. Poets in the Tang Dynasty left nearly 100 quatrains in Leyuan Scenic Area, which have been praised by people all the time, and Li Shangyin is one of them.

Li Shangyin lived in the late Tang Dynasty, when there were few national games left. Although he is ambitious, he can't show it and is very depressed. When Li Shangyin was twenty-five, Mao, the son of Chu, was chosen as a scholar. Shortly after Ling Hu's death, he was highly valued by Wang Maozhi, and Wang married his daughter to him.

Since Wang Maozhi was an important figure of the Li Party, Li Shangyin was caught in the struggle of the Niu Li Party and was extremely frustrated in the officialdom. This song "Le Garden Scenic Area" is a true portrayal of his depressed mood.

Li shangyin's music garden in Tang dynasty;

In the evening, I was unhappy and drove to Gu. Sunset, infinitely beautiful, only near dusk.

Translation:

I was in a bad mood at night and drove to Guyuan. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, buried by the coming night.

Poetry appreciation

This poem reflects the author's sadness. When the poet boarded the Leyuan Scenic Area to dispel the feeling of "discomfort", he saw the splendid sunset and was filled with emotion.

The first two sentences of this poem, "There is a shadow in my heart, and I have driven up among the tombs of Leyou", pointing out the time and reason for going to Guyuan. The poet is in a melancholy mood. In order to relieve boredom, he drove out to see the scenery, so he boarded the ancient plain, that is, Leyuan Scenic Area. Li Shangyin's visit to "I'm already in Leyou Graves" is not to find love, but to dispel his feeling of "twilight in my heart".

The last two sentences, "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night", describe such a picture: the sunset is reflected, the sunset is all over the sky, the mountains are rouge, and the weather is myriad. The poet integrated the feeling of the decline of the times, the pain of the destruction of his home country and the sadness of his later years into the scenery in the sunset.

Infinitely Good is a warm praise for the setting sun. However, the word "Gang" turned into deep sorrow. This is a sigh of the poet's inability to retain good things.

These two sentences are profound philosophical sayings, which imply that the scenery is so enchanting because it is infinitely beautiful near dusk. This lamentation, which is close to the epigram, is very profound. Some people think that the sunset is a sigh of old age and poverty. Some people think that this is a positive optimism, because poets love life and are persistent in the world.

In fact, it is not only a natural scene in the sunset, but also a sigh of the times. Li Shangyin, a poet, foresaw a serious social crisis and expressed his inner helplessness through the brief prosperity of the Tang Empire at that time.

The profound philosophical implications contained in these two poems have been widely quoted by later generations and used for reference by all aspects of human society; It also extends, sublimates and even does the opposite, turning negative into positive, turning decadent into magic and generating new meanings. Therefore, it has extremely high aesthetic value and ideological value.
