CLASSIC CHINESE POEMS / Li Shangyin – Chinese critics prefer to interpret Li Shangyin’s love poetry as allegory. Li Shangyin, is the love poet par excellence in the Chinese tradition. His poems set a trend for later Chinese love poetry. He was born into the lower aristocracy but lost his father, a low-ranking official, when he was 10 years old. Much of his love poetry has a melancholic flavour, expressing disappointment and frustration rather than joy and fulfilment. http://meetingbenches.com/2016/07/classic-chinese-poems-li-shangyin/
