Li Yi (approximately 750-approximately 830), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, whose courtesy name was Junyu, was originally from Guzang, Liangzhou (now Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu), and later moved to Zhengzhou, Henan. In the fourth year of Dali (769), he was a Jinshi. He was first appointed as the captain of Zheng County, but he was not promoted for a long time. Due to frustration in his official career, he abandoned his official position and wandered around Yanzhao. He is famous for his frontier poems and is good at quatrains, especially Qijue. ► 231 poems
