李白is a very famous ancient Chinese poet from the tang dynasty. Poets from the tang dynasty are usually considered the best but there are always many exceptions. 李白 is usually considered one of the best poets because his poems are fairly simple on the surface but are always deep in meaning.李白 liked to travel a lot and it was always an honor to meet poets. Here is one of his famous poems:
静夜诗 Quiet Night Poem.
床前明月光, At the foot of my bed there is moonlight,
疑是地上霜。 On the ground there is frost.
举头望明月, I raise my head and see the moon,
低头思故乡。 I bow my head and think of home.
This poem suggests that it is night time and he is away from home, he has a room that is exposed to the outside. It tells us that he is homesick because he is thinking about home with a bowed head, therefor he is ashamed that he has left his family for such a long time.
As a child 李白 never liked going to school so most times he ditched it to go to his favorite lake to play around. One day he saw an old woman with a metal bar and she was rubbing it against a large rock. He asked her what she was doing, without looking up she said that she was rubbing the bar to make a needle. 李白 said that it was impossible then asked her how long it would take, she said it doesn't mater how long it would take but as long as she kept rolling, scrubbing and scraping the bar it would eventually turn into a needle. She then said that it was the same for him, as long as he went to school he would eventually turn into a good person. When he grew up he became a well known poet.
杜甫is also a very famous poet, like 李白he wrote poems that were fairly simple on the outside but deep in meaning on the inside. He also wrote about the places he went to and the people he saw. His topics were usually about war or celebrating something like a wedding or ceremony.
