The Tang Dynasty, from 618 to 907 A.D., is regarded as one of the most prosperous dynasties in China's long history. it was marked by a strong and benevolent rule, successful diplomatic relationships, economic expansion, and a cultural efflorescence of cosmopolitan style.

It was also the golden age of Chinese art and literature. Shi, the classical form of Chinese poetry, developed two thousand years ago in the late Han Dynasty, reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty. Most Tang poems cosist of four or eight lines, with five and seven Chinese characters in each line and follow certain regulations.

Li Bai is a hero!

Chinese poetry sounds better in Cantonese than in Mandarin because old Chinese resembles more towards cantonese. Many people will agree on this.

For all time women and femininity has always been more beautiful than manliness and masculinity. Unfortunately men have been preoccupied with with advancing society and functionality that true beauty is not true attained, and generations are left without cultural icons to look up to. This should be a lesson for all capitalists, cultural heritage and history is of value.

No good - I want to hear the Chinese poetry, not the English translation which I can read myself.
