The method of character description in Bai Juyi's poems focuses on psychological description, which is used to facilitate lyrical expression.
Bai Juyi (772-846), whose courtesy name was Letian, also known as Xiangshan Jushi, and also Mr. Zuiyin, was originally from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. He moved to Xiagui when his great-grandfather was there, and was born in Xinzheng, Henan Province. Bai Juyi was a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three major poets in the Tang Dynasty.
His poetic ideas and poetic creations occupy an important position in the history of poetry with their outstanding emphasis on popularity and realism and their full expression. At the same time, he put forward his own literary ideas: "Articles are written according to the time, and songs and poems are written according to the events." His poetic ideas were mainly based on the creation of early allegorical poems.
