Who was the first poet throughout the ages?

In the history of China literature, Du Fu and Li Bai are generally regarded as the first poets of all ages.

Du Fu (7 12 -770) was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. His poems cover a wide range of aspects, such as society, politics and philosophy of life, and profoundly reflect the social turmoil and people's suffering in the Tang Dynasty. His poems are famous for their profound thoughts, sincere feelings and concern for people's destiny, and are known as the "School of Poetry History".

Li Bai (70 1 -762) was also an outstanding poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his poems were famous for their bold images. His works are full of romanticism, expressing his love for nature, life and freedom, and are known as "poetic immortals".

These two poets played an important role in the literary history of the Tang Dynasty and later generations. Their poems have far-reaching influence and are widely praised and studied, so they are often regarded as one of the first poets in the ages. But poetry is a subjective art, and different people may have different opinions and preferences, so there are different opinions and disputes about who is the first poet in the ages.
