Li Bai is indeed the best among Chinese poets Ranger. This great wanderer enriched the landscape of the Tang Dynasty with his feet and pen of poetry. His large pen swept and surged forward. Then, the smoke in Dongting, the wind and clouds in Red Cliff, the cries of apes on the Shu Road, and the mighty rivers all flew up at once. . In the poem, the poet is agile and heroic, like the clouds in the sky; he wanders around and gallops freely, like a galloping horse in the wilderness. In the poem, the poet sweeps away the dust of the world and completely restores his immortal posture: the poor blue sky and the yellow spring.

His poetry creation has a strong subjective color. It mainly focuses on expressing heroic spirit and passionate feelings, and rarely gives detailed descriptions of objective things and specific times.
