Who was the best poet in the world?

Who is the best poet in the world? This is a very subjective question because everyone's definition of "best" may be different. Different poets had different influences and positions in different periods and cultural backgrounds. However, from the perspective of literary history, some famous poets were widely regarded as the greatest poets, such as shakespeare, homer, bai juyi, du fu, su shi, etc. The works of these poets not only had a far-reaching influence on literature, but also had a high status in the fields of music, drama, painting and so on. Different poets have their own unique styles and characteristics, and different readers have different preferences and preferences. Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether a poet was the "best". It was necessary to judge according to different standards and preferences.
