Li Bai; poetry and prose; maritime perspectives.Abstract
The Sea in Li Bai's poetry and prose possesses different characteristics across various dimensions. From the perspective of natural ontology, the Sea in Li Bai's conception is vast, perilous, and yet crystal-clear. As an abstract carrier of emotions in humanity, the Sea embodies the vicissitudes of the world, shelters bruised spirits, and bears his wild and fanciful ideas. Meanwhile, the "emptiness" of the sea in his poetry also allows him to constantly see himself, achieving spiritual growth and freedom.
