  Li Po
Li Po (Wade-Giles), or Li Bo or Li Bai (李白 pinyin li3 bo2), also known as Li Taibo (pinyin) or Li T'ai-po (Wade-Giles) because his zi is 太白 (tai4 bo2) (701-762), was a Chinese poet.
Li Bo is best known for the extravagant imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love of drink.
Li Po's most famous poem is "Drinking Alone under the Moon" (月下獨酌, pinyin yue4 xia4 du2 zhuo2), which is a good example of some of the most famous aspects of his poetry --- a very spontaneous poem, full of natural imagery and anthropomorphism.

 Li Bai   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Li grew up in Western China (modern Sichuan) and is said to have inherited something of the "bravura" characteristic of renowned literary predecessors hailing from this region such as Sima Xiangru and Chen Zi'ang.
Li wandered for a time, was implicated for a time in the revolt of Prince Yun, and spent the final years of his life wandering the Yangzi Valley in search of a patron.
Li Bai's reputation was considerable in his own lifetime, but probably secondary to that of poets such as Wang Wei.

Li Bai was a strong character, making a vivid impression on everyone he met, but he was also boastful, callous, dissipated, irresponsible and untruthful.
Li Bai wrote in many forms, including regulated verse, but he preferred the rhapsodic fu and yuefu quatrain styles without their onerous restrictions.

 The story of Li Bai 力士脫靴、貴妃斟酒   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In 725, twenty-five year old Li Bai left Szechuen in search of opportunities to secure a high position in the royal court and be part of the governing elite.
The fact that Li Bai never did participated in the examination combined with his place of birth had many later day scholars speculating he might be the descendent of one of Lee Yun's sons who lost the famous bloody struggle for the dragon throne (玄武門之變).
Because of the association Li Bai was to be executed as well but for the great efforts of Kwok Tze-yi (郭子儀) who is credited with restoring the Tang Dynasty by leading the battle against the An-SI rebels.

 Translating Li Bai's Yellow Crane Tower
Li Bai the poet climbs the Yellow Crane Tower to glimpse his friend's boat, but all he sees is a speck of sail amidst the blue hills and the Yangzi River flowing into the horizon.
Li Bai, perhaps with a group of friends, were bidding farewell to Meng Haoran at the tower, or Li Bai could have climbed up the tower for a better view of Meng sailing in a boat down the river.
Presumably Li Bai watched the distant image of the lonely sail from the top of the tower (the key word is "distant", which implies that one has to be on a certain height to have a good view, so we may safely assume Li Bai actually climbed the tower to see the boat).
