World Lit I Poems of Li Bo

Lecture on Li Bo's poetry in its T'ang Dynasty context, with particular attention to wine imagery and Daoist themes.

One reference you missed is that "silver river" refers to the Milky Way in Chinese astronomy. The 'liminality' you mention has even more meanings than just sea and land, but also water, land, and sky.

Glad I encountered this channel
I resonated with the tale of the poet using wine as inspiration.

Thanks a lot Michael. Your lecture is wonderful that help me understand Li Pai poems in another angle of interpretation in which, I believe, come from your wisdom.

What course is this? Where? It's great somewhere this is being taught. Tang poets are relevant today and so are the intellectual debates of the early Tang. This period should be taught more. The three religions/philosophies of China are so divergent. What other country has three teachings which in time have fluctuated in influence. All having some merit.

I'm guessing that the "banished immortal" is a translation of 谪仙
