 Much like Mozart, many legends exist on how Li Bai effortlessly composed his poetry, even (or some say, especially) when drunk; his favorite form is the "jueju" (five- or seven-character quatrain), of which he composed some 160 pieces.Using striking, unconventional imagery, Li Bai is able to create exquisite pieces to utilize fully the elements of the language.His use of language is not as erudite as Du Fu's but equally effective, impressing through an extravagance of imagination and a direct connection of a free-spirited persona with the reader.
