Li He " Li He " ( ) ( 790–816 ), courtesy name " Changji " ( 長吉 ), was a short-lived Chinese poet of the late Tang Dynasty, known for his dense and allusive use of symbolism, for his use of synecdoche, for his vividly imaginative ( and often fantastic ) imagery, and for his otherwise sometimes unconventional style of poetry
A native of Changgu ( 昌谷, in modern-day Luoyang ), Li was discouraged by some of his contemporaries from taking the Imperial Examination owing to naming taboo: his father's name happened to sound similar to Jinshi ( imperial examination ).
Along with Li Bai and Li Shangyin, Li He is one of the " Three Lis " ( 三李 ), loved by Mao Zedong, and others.
