The poems describing Hu Teng's dance are:
1. Hu Teng is from Liangzhou, with skin like jade and a nose like a cone. The Tongbu light shirt is rolled up front and back, with a long grape belt hanging down one side. ——"Hu Teng'er" by Li Duan of the Tang Dynasty.
Vernacular translation: This Hu Teng dancer is originally from Liangzhou. His skin is as smooth as jade and his nose is as sharp as a cone. The wide edges of the Tongbu dance clothes are rolled up at the front and back, and the belt embroidered with grape patterns hangs down on one side.
2. Huer people are rare in the Stone Kingdom, and they are as anxious as a bird in front of the dancing statue. It is woven into a fan hat with a false top, and a thin beard shirt with small sleeves. ——Liu Yanshi of the Tang Dynasty, "Watching the Hu Teng Dance at Night at Wang Zhongcheng's Residence".

Characteristics of Li Bai's poems
He is good at using rich imagination, bold exaggeration, vivid metaphors, free and liberated genres, and simple and beautiful language to express his passionate thoughts and feelings. His poems have a strong subjective color. They mainly focus on expressing heroic spirit and passionate feelings, and rarely give detailed descriptions of objective objects and specific events.
Being good at using lyrical methods is often reflected in the form of eruption. Once the emotions are aroused, they rush out without restraint, just like the violent surge in the sky and the erupting volcano, gushing thousands of miles.
