說起中國古典詩歌，就不能不說到唐詩；說起唐詩，就不能不說到李白。
李白是唐代偉大的詩人，生於武則天的長安元年(公元701)；卒於唐代宗的寶應元年(762)。李白具有極高的詩歌創作天賦。他的詩歌，**飽滿，境界開闊，想像奇異，語言清新流暢，形像豐富生動，不僅記錄了他豐富多彩的生活經歷和微妙復雜的內心世界，而且也體現出當時的“盛唐氣像”和他所遭遇的社會變化。

The Collection of Critical Biographies of Chinese Thinkers, under the general editorship of the late honorary president of Nanjing University, Professor Kuang Yarning, is the largest-scale project of research materials on Chinese thinkers undertaken since the beginning of the twentieth century. Standing on the shoulders of this great man and other 200 well-known Chinese professors, this collection of concise Chinese-English version is not only based on a profound academic foundation, but also exhibits a brand new feature which is the virtue of explaining the profound in a simple way, hence leading readers to mastery of the contents; it also incorporates a refined principle of selection, a simple mode of evaluation and commentary, and a moving narration of the stories and their wisdom.
