Li Shangyin

▪ Chinese poet
Wade-Giles romanization  Li Shang-yin , courtesy name (zi)  Yishan 
born 813, Henei [now Qinyang], Henan province, China
died 858, Zhengzhou, Henan province

      Chinese poet remembered for his elegance and obscurity.

      A member of a family of minor officials, Li Shangyin pursued a generally unsuccessful career as a government official, composing poetry during and between his various posts. Until the second half of the 20th century little of his poetry had been studied seriously by Western critics, despite the fact that Chinese scholars since the Song dynasty (960–1279) had paid close attention to his work. To Chinese critics he has been one of the most controversial, difficult, and complex of poets because of his use of exotic imagery, abstruse allusions, political allegory, and personal satire involving both historical and contemporary events and figures. These qualities also make his poetry difficult to translate. His works reflect the social and political conditions of his time, and, although few of his contemporaries recognized his genius, he greatly influenced early Song dynasty poets.
