In his mid-twenties, he decided to leave Szechuan and became something of a wanderer, getting married at some point, meeting various well-known Chinese personalities and giving away a good part of his family wealth. He is said to have taken part in many duels in his youth and was considered a master in martial arts.
He was an avid reader, devouring the popular Confucian works of the time, and a skilled swordsman by the time he reached his twenties. Li Po was born in Central Asia and moved to Sichuan province when he was five years old. He and fellow poet Du Fu were responsible for a golden time in Chinese writing, exploring relationships, the natural world, as well as the pleasures of wine. Born in the middle of the Tang Dynasty in 701, Li Po was one of the most prominent writers of his time in China, developing poetic art and producing about 1000 poems in his life time.
