Introduction to the Poet:

Li Shangyin (ca. 812–858), courtesy name Yishan, also styled Yuxi Sheng and Fannan Sheng, was a poet of the late Tang dynasty. His ancestral home was Huai Prefecture in Henei (modern-day Qinyang, Henan Province). His poetry is of great literary value. Together with Du Mu, he was known as the “Little Li and Du”; paired with Wen Tingyun, he was referred to as “Wen and Li.” His style was similar to those of his contemporaries Duan Chengshi and Wen Tingyun, and since all three were sixteenth sons within their families, they were collectively nicknamed the “Three Sixteens.” In 《Three Hundred Tang Poems》, 22 of Li Shangyin’s works are included, ranking him fourth in number of poems represented.
