Li Bai 李白
Li Bai (701–762), also known as Li Bo, courtesy name Taibai, was a Chinese poet acclaimed from his own day to the present as a genius and a romantic figure who took traditional poetic forms to new heights. He and his friend Du Fu (712–770) were the two most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry in the Tang dynasty, which is often called the "Golden Age of Chinese Poetry". Li Bai (also known as Li Bo or Li Taibai), of the High Tang period, ranks alongside Du Fu as one of the two leading figures of Chinese poetry. He was a Byronic figure, whose life as well as his verse embodied the Romantic cliches of freedom, spontaneity and defiance of convention.

Sitting Alone on Jingting Shan Hill
Li Bai
Crowd birds high fly utmost Lonely cloud alone go idle Mutual watch both not tire Only be Jingting Shan |
A flock of birds is flying high in the distance, |
