The Artistic Crystallization Of Pondering On Life Philosophy

Li shangyin was one of the most important poet in China poetry history, whose poems were characteristic and complex.As a poet in the late Tang dynasty, his historical poems and political poems have been widely spread, together with his lyric poems and untitled poems. One poem《the sad zither》was subjected to various interpretations. Nowdays, li shangyin studies is still an eminent study in ancient chinese literary circles.After studying and inheriting the predecessors' achievements, we found there seemed to be insufficient attention to li's other poems and other form of works.《well mud si shi yun》was actually an important work in his late years. but there has never been a specific paper talking about it(though some scholars has talked about it in some related papers).By observing this work, i deeply realized that this was the artistic crystallization of his pondering on life philosophy in his late years. an expert in《yi》, he made an interpretion in himself and the world in source of"jinggua". This is very special in ancient Chinese poetry.At the same time,my paper compared《Well mud si shi yun》with《Jing xie bu shi fu》and《Du shi nian shi bing xu》by using intertaxuality theory and aesthetic of reception theory,so to reappear the unique charm of this work.Li is a versatile literati. He is not only a famous poet with more than 600poems, but an expert in prose writing and a pioneer in Tang documentary novels. There is intertexuality holds between《shifu》(actually a fable novel) and《well mud si shi yun》,so i interpreted it systematically in my paper.There is a big research area for Li because of his works' unique character, that was what i realized when i was writing this paper.
