唐之韵 - 李白 Tang Poetry (Li Bai) -- Biography and Poetry (Mandarin)
Li Bai (AD 701 - 762) is best known for the extravagant imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace the reflection of the moon.
Tang poetry refers to poetry written during China's Tang dynasty, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry. According to a compilation created under the Kangxi emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there were almost 50,000 Tang poems written by over 2,200 authors. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry became an important part of social life at all levels of society. Scholars were required to master poetry for the civil service examinations, but the art was available to everyone. This led to a large record of poetry and poets, a partial record of which survives today. Two of the most famous poets of the period were Du Fu and Li Bai.

You can turn off annotations on the lower right hand of the screen and the subtitles will disappear.
