This paper focuses on identifying Tang Dynasty Poet Li Bai’s structure and characteristics of living space through his poems. We were able to carry on in-depth analysis through his poem by applying space theories. This study tried to prove the analysis point, first by tracing Li Bai’s space movement to reconstruct his plan. After reconstructing his movement, we explored his spaces through his poems which led us to define his space characteristics. Careful reconstruction of his space movement and examination of his poems enable us to characterize his spaces and escalate interpretation of his poetic space by applying space theories to his poems. As a result, the characteristics of spaces were well explained through Heidegger’s ‘Existence’ theory, Tuan’s ‘Place’ theory, as well as Buchanan’s ‘Diaspora’ theory. We came to the conclusion that his space struggle were mostly caused by his own traumas and ironies between actual world space and virtual world space which caused Li Bai to suffer great deal from double bind symptom. Through carrying on this study, we were able to propose new perspective of Li Bai’s characteristics of space as well as better understanding of him as an ordinary man. This study will give the readers new way of approaching Li Bai’s poem from the concept of space and wider spectrum of Li Bai’s point of view.
