Li Bai

Li Bai (701–762 CE) was a Chinese poet acclaimed as one of the greatest and most important poets of the Tang dynasty and in Chinese history as a whole. He and his friend Du Fu (712–770 CE) were two of the most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry under the Tang dynasty, which is often called the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”. Often called the “Immortal Poet,” Li Bai’s works reflect his deep appreciation for nature, his pursuit of personal freedom, and his philosophical musings on life and death.
