Li Bai, a great romantic poet, is a household name. This world-famous poet of the Tang Dynasty set foot in Tiantai Mountain twice, leaving behind many well-known poems such as Qiongtai and Tiantai Wangxiao.
The poem "Long Ta Phoenix Que refused to be born and went straight to Tiantai" is the best advertising word to promote Tiantai Mountain. I don't even want to live in the palace, but I want to come to Tiantai Mountain, which shows how attractive Tiantai Mountain is in the poet's mind. Li Bai came to Tiantai Mountain not only to visit Sima Chengzhen, an old friend who lived in seclusion in Tiantai Mountain, but also to feel the mystery of "beautiful mountains and beautiful caves" described in Sun Chuo's Poems on Tiantai Mountain. He wrote in the poem "Looking at the Tiantai" that "Chicheng Gorge" originated from Sun Chuo's poem "Chicheng Gorge starts to build landmarks and waterfalls reach the boundary". In his poems, he expressed his incomparable love and nostalgia for Tiantai Mountain, and wrote down his wish to "give birth to a feather man and lie on a canopy for a thousand years", hoping that he would grow wings and become a figure, and then settle down in Tiantai Mountain.
