Li Bai left more than 900 poems to later generations. These brilliant poems express his life's journey and are an artistic portrayal of the reality of the society and spiritual life of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Bai had lofty ambitions throughout his life, and he expressed his yearning for fame and career without any concealment. In poems such as Liang Fu Yin, Reading Zhuge Wuhou's Thoughts to the Book of Letters, "The Love of the Book of Cai Sherenxiong", etc., they all showed them vividly. Li Bai has loved Renxia since his youth.

I wrote many poems of gossipers, and "The Knights' Walk" is a representative work of such poems. The political life I experienced in Chang'an had a profound impact on Li Bai's creation. His political ideals and dark reality had sharp contradictions, and unspeakable pain and resentment were accumulated in his heart. I made a good poem in anger, so I wrote a series of thoughts and thoughts about the ancients, such as "The Difficult to Walk", "Ancient Style", "Answer Wang Twelve Drinking Alone at the Cold Night", etc., and I missed myself and thoughts to fly; I was sad.

The famous poems of the world, sadness and hard to let go. Li Bai lived a wandering life for most of his life, traveled through many famous mountains and rivers across the country, and wrote a large number of beautiful poems praising the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, thereby expressing his passion for freedom and desire for liberation. In this type of poem, the strange and dangerous mountains and rivers were perfectly matched with his rebellious and unruly personality. This kind of poem occupies a large number of Li Bai's poetry works and has been passed down from generation to generation, among which "Dream"

"You Tianmu's Farewell" is the most outstanding masterpiece. The poet uses his poem that is full of scattered and blooming hearts to stretch his imagination without restraint, writing out various spiritual adventures and pursuits, allowing the depressed and depressed heart to be truly liberated in his dreams. And the poem "How can I bow my eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy people, so that I can't be happy!" has revealed the poet's pride and become an important basis for future generations to examine Li Bai's great personality.

As a great poet who loves the motherland, cares about the people, and never forgets reality, Li Bai is also very concerned about the important issue of war. He sang enthusiastically to the soldiers who defended the frontier (such as "The Song of the Frontier") and ruthlessly criticized the rulers' military and military affairs (such as "The Battle of the City South", "The Song of Dingdu Guardians", etc.). Li Bai also wrote many Yuefu poems, describing the hard life of workers and expressing their concern and sympathy for them (such as "Changgan Xing", "Midnight Wu Song", etc.).

Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen falls and the wind and rain, and the poems make the ghosts and gods cry", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature of his poems. As a romantic poet, Li Bai mobilized all romantic techniques to achieve perfect unity of the content and form of the poem. Li Bai's poems are full of self-expression and strong subjective lyricism, and the expression of emotions has a momentum that is overwhelming and overwhelming. For example, when he went to Beijing to seek an official position, "I laughed to the sky and went out, and I am not a weed man!" When I miss Chang'an

, "The strong wind blows my heart, and the Xianyang tree hangs west of the tree." These poems are extremely infectious, extremely exaggerated, appropriate metaphors and amazing fantasies, but they make people feel highly real. When reading the poems "The water flows even more when you draw a knife and cut off the water, and raise a cup to eliminate sorrow and sorrow", "The white hair is three thousand feet long, and the sorrow is as long as you are", readers must be infected by the poet's long sorrow and endless sorrow. Li Bai's artistic expression technique is particularly prominent in poems such as "Dreamwalking in Tianmu and Song of Farewell" and "The Road to Shu is Difficult".

Li Bai often uses imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques in his poems, thus creating a magical and magnificent artistic conception. This is why Li Bai's romantic poetry gives people the heroic and unrestrained charm and elegant as fairy. His language is just as his two lines of poetry says, "A lotus comes out of clear water, and naturally decorates it", bright, lively, and timeless.

Li Bai's poems had a profound influence on future generations. Famous poets such as Han Yu, Meng Jiao, Li He in the Middle Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, Lu You, Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qi, Yang Shen, and Gong Zizhen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all greatly influenced by Li Bai's poems.

Li Bai fantasized and expressed his ambitions throughout his life and did a great cause that was moving around the world. This can be seen everywhere in his poems. In the poem "Previous to Li Yong" says:

The great roc rises with the wind one day, soaring up to 90,000 miles.

If the wind stops, it will still be able to shake the vast water.

When people see me, they always sneer when they see me.

Xuan’s father can still be afraid of his future generations, but his husband can’t be young.

He compared himself with the great roc that stirred the sky and sea in "Zhuangzi", full of confidence in his political talents, and was ridiculed by the world, and defended himself with Confucius (Xuanfu)'s words "a fearless young man". The poet is very naive in politics, but in fact he may not have the ability of a politician, so it is not surprising that his "big words" are sneered. However, as a poet, he is a talented person, a great roc that travels around the sky and sea. He was a poet all his life and had no political achievements. In his own opinion, it was unfortunate, but for Chinese literature, it was a great regret. If there was no Tang poetry, it would be without Li Bai, and it would be a great regret to take down a pillar of the beautiful building.

Li Bai has a considerable number of poems that expose and criticize social injustice, such as one of the "Fifty-Nine Poems of Ancient Styles":

The carts are flying in the dust, and the pavilions are dark and the roads are dark.

The most precious thing is gold, and the whole cloud opens the house.

If you meet a cockfighter on the road, you will be covered with a cap.

The breath of the rainbow sacred sacred 〔níni] was aware of the passage.

There is no earwashing man in the world, but who knows Yao and Zhi?

This is a satirizing the emperor's powerful figure. They sat across the market in a luxurious cart, waving the dust all over the sky. Some eunuchs (middle-priced) had a great amount of money and built a grand residence. The cockfighters who were happy for the emperor also sat in a canopy car to show off their power. Their nostrils were facing the sky, and the breath seemed to blow the clouds in the sky (extremely arrogant). The pedestrians on the road were so scared that they dared not approach. Finally, the poet lamented that there was no wise man like Xu Yu (ear washer) in society, who could still distinguish good people.

What about (Yao) and the bad guy (Zhi)? Legend has it that the ancient sage Tang Yao wanted to give up the throne to Xu You; after Xu You heard that it had polluted his ears, he ran to the river to wash his ears. He was considered a wise man who disliked fame and fortune. Zhi was the legendary "big thief" and of course he was synonymous with bad guys. In the late period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, political corruption and dynasty went downhill. Li Baimin felt this and exposed and satirized in his poems. Li Bai did not have many poems directly describing the suffering of the people, but it was written very wonderfully, such as "War to the South of the City":

"Last year, Sang Ganyuan... I knew that the war was a weapon, and the saint had no choice but to use it!" (Length limit, omitted)
