Poetic Tang Dynasty

Who were some famous poets and why? DuFu, Li Bo and Wang Wei were three of the chief poets of the Tang Dynasty who represent some of the best poets that China ever produced. These men varied in experience and outlokk. DuFu, whoes life in court difficult wrote about his wanderings and misfortunes. A characteristic of Li Bo's poetry is the air of  playfulness and outright skill. Wang Wei's poems gave a clear picture, he was also a great painter.
