Images in Li Bai's poems

Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical. After Qu Yuan, he was the first person who could really absorb its rich nutrition from the folk literature and art at that time and Yuefu folk songs since Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, and concentrated on perfecting it to form his own unique style. He has extraordinary artistic talent and great artistic power. Everything that is surprising, comforting, exciting and thought-provoking comes out. Du Fu is the most outstanding romantic poet in China after Qu Yuan, and he has a comment that "the pen falls on the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry". Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the poor" and "settling down in peace", and he struggled to realize this ideal all his life. A large number of his poems not only reflected the prosperity of that era, but also exposed and criticized the debauchery and decay of the ruling group, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals. In art, his poems are novel in imagination, unique in conception, strong in emotion, magnificent in artistic conception, fresh and bright in language, magnificent in momentum and unrestrained in style, forming a bold and unrestrained artistic style, reaching the peak of positive romantic poetry in ancient China. There are nearly a thousand poems, including Li Taibai, the representative of romantic poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
