However, there is a saying that "you can recite poems even if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems", so you should read more and recite more.
Most people who study poetry don't learn from Li Bai, and most people who study ci don't learn from Su Shi, because both of them are talented people in heaven and earth, and they can only look at it from a distance and can't sell themselves short. Learn more from Lao Du, Bai Juyi, Jia Dao, Yao He, Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, the vernacular Chinese in the Song Dynasty, the poems of the late Tang Dynasty and the poems of Jiangxi Poetry School represented by Huang Tingjian. Learning Ci can be divided into two categories: Liu Yong, Da Xiao Yan, Qin Guan, Li Qingzhao and Nalan Rong Ruo in Qing Dynasty. Learn to be bold and learn from Su Shi and Xin Qiji. Other female poets are also worthy of attention, such as Li Qingzhao, Zhu, Mrs. Wei and Wu Zao.
