Chapter 356 I, Li Shi, am Open and Aboveboard_3

"My current idea is to center on the love story of Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng, using Zhao Mingcheng's death as a time marker. There would be a poem before Zhao Mingcheng's death, for which I've chosen"Partridge Heaven - Osmanthus", and one after his death, tentatively"Voice Song - Searching"."

"Both of these were written when their family started going downhill due to involvement in the court politics. However, in the first one, her husband Zhao Mingcheng was still alive. They had moved back to their hometown, and freed from the intrigues of court life, they began to study art and enjoy the pleasure of a reclusive life. So, even though this poem carries a sense of autumnal melancholy, it is more about expressing personal feelings through objects, with an overall buoyant sentiment."
