He compared himself with Dapeng, Tianma and Xiong Jian: "Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars in Wan Li. If the wind stops, it can still lift away the raging water. " ("Li Shangyong"). He hopes to be a wise monarch like Jiang Shang and restore the Han Dynasty like Zhuge Liang. Liang's Yin Fu, Reading Biographies of Zhuge Wuhou, Braving Wang Dong and Difficult to Go to Heaven (Part Two) all reflect his thoughts.
Li Bai's political ambition is most concentrated in his "Answer to Meng Shaofu's Document for Shoushan": ... Don't succumb to yourself, don't be poor, you will be immune to yourself, and if you are competent, you will help the world ... apply for management talks, seek imperial skills and compete for wisdom. I am willing to help you, let the area settle down, let Haixian county be clean and white ... and then wander around the five lakes and play Cangzhou.
This was his ambition when he lived in seclusion in Xiaoshoushan, Anlu, Hubei Province in Kaiyuan 15, and it was also what he often said later: "Helping the poor and living in peace and contentment". Li Bai has been struggling to realize this ideal all his life.
The artistic style of Li Bai's poems is bold and unrestrained, fresh and elegant, rich in imagination, wonderful in artistic conception, wonderful in language, romantic and clear.
