Li Bai started writing poetry from a young age. He wrote many poems inspired by what he read and what he saw when he was travelling, which helped him gain a reputation as a romantic poet.

Discuss and analyse this poem by Li Bai to find out more about his romantic style.
THINKING
This poem displays Li Bai's well-known romantic style. The first line makes me see an image of Li Bai leaving a mountaintop town in his boat on a beautiful morning. The second line and the fourth line suggest that the poet moved away from White Emperor Town and in the direction of the canyons and that he covered many miles a day. In these lines, Li Bai's use of exaggeration reflects his romantic style clearly. The third line uses vivid imagery that assists the reader to understand the sound Li Bai heard from the countless monkeys found along the Yangtze River. Furthermore, along with the fourth line, it gives me the sense of how fast his boat was moving down the river as well as how happy and excited Li Bai felt. The free expression of strong feelings is really impressive. This poem also shows where he was travelling and how his travel greatly inspired his poetry.
