Why is Li Bai called a poet by later generations? Where is his fairy?

The Tang Dynasty was an era of great cultural development and prosperity. Due to the openness and tolerance of the rulers of the Tang Dynasty to culture, many talented poets appeared in the Tang Dynasty. For example, there are poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li He, but some people want to ask why Li Bai can still be called a poet when he is obviously a mortal. In fact, this can be analyzed from three aspects.

1. Li Bai is a romantic poet. First of all, Li Bai is a representative of romanticism. His poems are accustomed to romanticism, and the artistic conception contained in realistic poems gives people a feeling of being on cloud nine. In addition, Li Bai's poems are most common in imagination and detachment, so later generations call him a poet, and Li Bai's poems deserve this title.

Second, he called Li Bai a fallen fairy. In the second aspect, Li Bai was born in the former Soviet Union. When he was young, he followed his father to Sichuan, but Li Bai had the idea of governing the country and leveling the world since he was a child, but his career path was not smooth. When Li Bai was forty-two years old, he went to Chang 'an to visit He. He showed him Zhang Zhi's Shu Dao Nan. After reading it, He Zhangzhi lamented Li Bai's talent, so he called him a fairy on earth and compared him to a fairy in the sky. So later generations also called Li Bai a poet.

Thirdly, Li Bai's poems and songs are full of yearning for freedom and personality liberation. Although Li Bai's official career was not smooth, he was depressed and frustrated, but this did not affect his development in the literary world. Many people have a tendency to go downhill without achieving anything, but Li Bai's is different. Without the approval of the imperial court, he traveled to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and recorded what he saw, heard and felt with poetry. Many of his poems are bold and unrestrained, rich in color, and give people a feeling of being unconstrained, which is very different from the realistic characteristics of other poems. Li Bai's performance beyond reality made him a poet.
