Poems

Renowned as a leading figure of the Tang Dynasty, Li Po's poetry encompasses themes such as wine, friendship, nature, and the passage of time. His extensive body of work, exceeding one thousand poems, is celebrated for its vivid imagery and lyrical quality, despite some criticisms regarding adherence to traditional forms. A member of the "Six Idlers of the Bamboo Brook," his life was as colorful as his poetry, with legends surrounding his tragic death while attempting to embrace a moonlit reflection.
