Personal Achievements
In terms of artistic achievements, Li Bai's Yuefu, song lines and quatrains are the highest. His song lines completely break all the inherent formats of poetry creation, with nothing to rely on, and various brushwork techniques, reaching a magical realm of unpredictable and swaying at will.
Li Bai's quatrains are natural, lively, elegant and unrestrained, and can express endless emotions in concise and clear language. Among the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the Five Jue, and Wang Changling and other Seven Jue were good at writing. Li Bai was the only one who was good at both the Five Jue and the Seven Jue.
