Li Shangyin has been regarded as a representative of aesthetic literature
since ancient times. His works have an important position of taking the
previous and opening up the later generations in literary styles. However,
later studies on literary works are more conducive to the scope of his poetry.
People have a lot of comments on his writing. The negative evaluation mainly
focuses on its numerous stacks of allusions. Of course it is a bias that occurs
only when the essence of his works is not properly and appropriately probed.
Therefore, this study uses an objective perspective to analyze the existing
texts of Li Shangyin’s works and the relevant materials by means of "literature
research" and "historical research". In addition, from the genre, content and
thought, form, and method of analysis, especially focusing on his external
form of writing skills and ideological connotations. For writing skills, duality,
use, resignation, and rhythm are included. The ideological connotation
includes Li Shangyin's perspectives on literature, politics, and religion. In
addition, the classification of the "law of order", "law of change", "law of
communication, "law of unification" in the rules and syntax, and the
classification direction of "expression function" and "single sentence structure",
are taken into consideration, hoping to present the richness both in the lay out
and thoughts in his writing.
In addition, Li Shangyin's influence on later generations comes down to
the value of historiography, literature, practicality, aesthetics and other fields.
The relevant evaluations are dialectically based on this study, and it proves
that Fan Nanwen has the position of template in practical writing.
