仙(Poetic Genius)的称号。他的绝大部分诗写于唐朝兴盛和衰败时期。他是中国历最伟大的诗人之一。李白一生都过着流浪的(wandering)生活。他有才华，但没有机会施展。他很失望，心里愤愤不平。他必须

通过喝酒和写诗来获得乐趣。不过我们可能不得不感谢他悲惨的政治

生活，否则我们将会失去一笔诗歌上的巨大财富。

talent but no opportunity to use it. He was very disappointed and resentful. He had to attain fun by drinking wine and

writing poems. However, maybe we have to thank his miserable political life, or we will lose a great fortune in poetry.
