Abstract

Li Yu was a brilliant poet, and also the emperor of a declined kingdom. In the history of China, there were not many people who have the dual identity of an emperor as well as an outstanding writer. The poet has the character of honor and easy-going, but the emperor usually is good at scheming and calculating. Acting as an emperor as well as a poet, two roles conflicted and incompatible like water and fire, the idle poet Li Yu came to throne succeeding his father Zhongzhu Li Jing and ended up with his country eliminated and he himself perished. The first reason for the tragedy of Li Yu's life is the feudal autocratic monarchy. The second is the Li Yu's character and ability. Li Yu's character was obviously a literary character. Li Yu had a strong literary interest and profound literary accomplishment.
