Tang poets and Song poets

I liked a couple of the poems more from the Tang poetry mostly the ones that are talking about the man being drunk because i find it quite funny how someone like Li Bai can write about something like that. Poetry to me is suppose to deep and mean something well he's going off writting about how he's drunk and drinking alone and wants the moon to drink with him, i found it stupied but quite funny. I did not really like the poems by Liu Yong because they seemed a little to emotional to me and i could not really understand it. Su Shi's poems were actually quite funny and i kind of liked them, after i read them over a couple times i found some creative things he did in his poems like add saracastic remarks. I found that the poems by Li Bai, Du Fu and Liu Yang seemed to be very similar in the way that the true meaning behing their poems were like love and affaction for ones like their family. And all these poems really are about society. Their were many difference because each poet has a different written style, like Bai's poems were more about being drunk and the love that happens and how society is. Well Fu's poems focused more about realisum and the idea of family affaction. Wei focused more about nature and religion based in his poems. The two Song poets were different in the way that Yong was way to emotional in his poems and took everything way to dramacticly, well Shi was more of a cleaver funny guy in his poems making saracastic remarks and changing up what he talked about. I think they do a good job in reflect the two societies because poems were mostly wrote to make emperors laugh and thats what these did. They showed their culture and their way of doing stuff in poems weather it was getting drunk or they way they loved. All the poems showed their way of life through different metaphors and messages that were told in the poems. So I think yes poems can help us understand societys if you can truely understand the poems. If you can understand the messages and all the saracastic remarks that are made in poems you can find the true humor that these poets had and the true message behind each poem. These poems teach us about societys.
