Chinese Poets

I found this nice website via Metafilter. I've always liked Li Bai, although I used to know him as Li Po. Was he consulted about this change?

If you read some of the really old ones it's amazing how different they are from Western poetry from that time period. These Chinese guys were writing about their feelings while the west was still writing about kings and dragons.
