If you explore it carefully, "poetry fairy" actually has two meanings. Literally, "immortal" refers to a fairy, which not only shows that Li Bai has outstanding talent in poetry, but also fully shows his amazing talent to the world. As far as I know, he wrote more than 1000 poems before his death, which is really a great achievement for his identity. Since ancient times, his famous sentences have been included in the essential masterpieces, which are sung by men, women and children. In the vast China culture, there must be many contributions from him. Another meaning is that Li Bai's personality and the way of dealing with people in officialdom and life have reached the point of "cultivating immortality" He is said to be "cultivating immortals" because he doesn't care about all kinds of intrigue in officialdom. He likes to drink and travel everywhere, and write a poem when he is in a good mood on the way. This kind of character will not be bound by the intrigue in the secular and officialdom. Even in the workplace of modern society, he is the kind of person that people envy and want to be. This state of detachment from nature and total selflessness has reached the level of "immortals" to a certain extent.
However, no matter how "immortal" he is, he is mortal after all, and finally he can't escape the control of secular desires. He can express his anguish in the night when there is no one to talk to in the field, and pour his pain on paper like beans, thus becoming one masterpiece after another that must be recited. It can be said that pen and thought are the catharsis of all his inner emotions. He can write all his thoughts on paper and poems without hesitation. It is precisely because of his love-hate courage, his firmness and freedom that his life will get carried away and he will be carefree and reckless in his own way. "Poets are immortal" is more than just talk. It is not only a name, but also the admiration and praise of the world. For this world, he is a model who hates officialdom and enjoys life.
