and following behind them? Is a pearl-laden train, rhythmic with bearers (excerpt).
Du Fu's "two for the road" is a criticism of the world, but it also depicts the beauty's posture wonderfully. What about these beauties? As Du Fu said, "receptive, aloof, sweet-mannered, sincere, with soft fine skin and well-balanced bone".
4. Clear and level tone One-Li Bai
Clouds miss clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to reveal the richness.
if we don't meet in the head of the Jade Mountain, we will meet in the moonlight at Yaotai.
Li Bai also enthusiastically praised Yang Guifei's beauty. In this poem, imagination is ingenious; It's a masterpiece, but it doesn't show the work of axe and chisel. The poetic art is superb, and it is the top grade in poetry.
