李白不白
[lĭ bái bù bái]
Li Bai is one of the greatest Chinese poets from the Tang Dynasty (7th-10th centuries AD), whose works reflect much classical literature of that time period. In contrast, this phrase humorously suggests Li Bai isn't what one might expect; in this context 'not white' plays on Li Bai’s famous fair skin and romantic imagery of purity in his poetry.
