Biography
Li Yu (Chinese: 李煜; c. 937 – 15 August 978) was the third ruler of the Southern Tang state during imperial China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He reigned from 961 until 976, when he was captured by the invading Song dynasty armies which annexed his kingdom. He died by poison on orders of Emperor Taizong of Song after 2 years as an exiled prisoner. Li Yu was a master of the ci song form. More than 30 of his lyrics have survived. His earlier poems reflect the gay and luxurious life at his court, though some are tinged with romantic melancholy. His middle poems are those written from the time of his wife’s death (964) to his captivity (975). He achieved his greatness, however, in his later poems in which he expressed his grief and despair at the loss of his kingdom. The direct and powerful emotional appeal of these later works has won them lasting popularity. In addition to being a poet, Li Yu was also a painter, calligrapher, collector, and musician.
