Li Bai became orchids when he breathed, and poems when he drank. His free and uninhibited charm made time marvel. Du Fu was a scholar, with hair as white as snow, but he used a pen to carry out the turning point of the Anshi Rebellion, which shocked the years. Tao Yuanming did not love the court but the countryside, and the five willows were his livelihood, which made even the treacherous ministers ashamed. Wang Wei looked down on worldly affairs and only wished to make a cup of tea and live in peace for the rest of his life in the scent of tea, leaving the world of mortals helpless. Gao Shi and Cen Shen only wrote about the desolation and vastness of the desert. Even if they were thousands of miles away from home, they still wanted to see the solitary smoke and the setting sun, adding fragrance and color to the frontier fortress. Later generations can't help but ask why a short poem, whether it's a quatrain or a rhyme, just a few words, can contain the whole world. Perhaps, this is the indescribable charm of Tang poetry.
