This paper analyzes the poetry of “XingYi” by Li Bai and studies the characteristics of expressions in it. First, this poetry mainly includes appreciating scenary, longing for friends, the yearning for Yinyl, and other things. The majority of appreciating scenary is composed of depicting natural scenary in motion. The author Li Bai also describes the longing for his home town and friends. Furthermore, The yearning for Yinyl incorporates the desire to live with Taoist hermits in remote forests. In the remaining parts, he expresses his sorrows for not being able to fulfill his will and longing for the Palace. The poetry of XingYi was influenced by Xiaotong’s Wenxuan in its content and format. In addition, the author describes the speed of moving quite fastly in joyful feelings and depicts it quite slowly in adverse or sad feelings. Finally, the author utilized hyperbole, simile, and abundant imagination which renders this poetry masterfully romantic.
