He often praises the clouds and the moon, and invites me to Jingting Mountain." Since he was released ten years ago, Hanlin, Li Bai wandered for a long time.

Li Bai (701-762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi, also known as "Exiled Immortal", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. , was hailed as the "Immortal of Poetry" by later generations, and was called "Li Du" together with Du Fu. In order to distinguish him from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai were also collectively called "Big Li Du".
According to the "New Book of Tang", Li Bai was the ninth grandson of Emperor Xingsheng (Liang Wuzhao King Li Hao) and the same clan as the kings of Li and Tang Dynasties. He is a cheerful and generous person who loves drinking, writing poetry, and making friends.
Li Bai's achievements in Yuefu, song lines and quatrains are the highest. The lines of his songs completely break all the inherent patterns of poetry creation. They are empty and have many styles of writing, 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 Qi Jue wrote very well. Li Bai was the only one who was good at both the Five Jue and the Seven Jue and reached the same level.
Li Bai's poems are majestic and elegant, with extremely high artistic achievements. He eulogized the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, with a majestic and unrestrained style, handsome and fresh, full of romantic spirit, and achieved the unity of content and art. He was called the "Exiled Immortal" by He Zhizhang, and most of his poems mainly described landscapes and expressed inner emotions.
Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen falls in the storm, and the poem becomes the weeping ghosts and gods", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature of his poems. Li Bai's poems are rich in self-expression and have a strong subjective lyrical color, and the expression of emotions has an overwhelming momentum. He and Du Fu are called "Big Li Du" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Li Du").
Li Bai's poems often use imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques to create magical, magnificent and moving artistic conceptions. This is why Li Bai's romantic poems give people a heroic, unrestrained, elegant and fairy-like feeling. Here's why.
