To realize this dream, he studied day and night, diligently practiced writing poetry, often neglecting food and sleep, immersed in the world of poetry. He often saw himself in his dreams writing many popular poems. When he woke up, he couldn't wait to record the verses from his dreams. Finally, after years of hard work, Li Bai became one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty. His poems are still circulating today, becoming an indispensable part of the Chinese cultural treasure trove.
