"Kubla Khan" of Samuel Taylor Coleridge is said to be one of "the most memorable work of the romantic era". (Gray) This poem seems to understand the world deeply, but the concept is very simple. When I read a book about Xanadu's Kubla Khan (by a man named Samuel Purchas), he fell into a deep sleep caused by an opium mixture, he has been addicted for a long time. When he woke up from this drug-induced coma, he apparently had 200 to 300 lines of poetry in his head, but was interrupted after the first three quarters (so we I observed the change of poetry at the time). I only remember it as "Pollock people" (Bret 46-8)

"Kubula Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a poem about poetry and creativity. By using brilliant images, Curry reproduces the landscape of the kingdom created by Qubrakarn and the vision of heaven. The poem turned into a first person's story, and then the speaker tried to reproduce the vision he saw. Through the explanation of the vision of the Kubrakarn Palace and Eloquence, this poem tells us the creation of an attractive and beautiful world thanks to human imagination. The second part of the poem reveals that the power to create this heavenly world is in mind, but it is impossible to tragically maintain the world.

"Kublah Khan" Samuel Coleridge's poem "Kubla Khan" is an example of romantic creation. It uses the ideal process to capture the dreams of other worlds. By using a strong image, Coleridge created a paradise like a rich landscape of such a vision, surrounded by a dome named by the main character Kublah Khan. This means the theme of poetry, that is, the important aspect of contrast between man and nature. The main theme of this work includes various images.

The wonderful kingdom and the surroundings of the ancient Kubreai Khan are drawn like a heaven and a dream. The kingdom created by Kubra Khan is described as "a solemn happy dome." The word "dome" is a symbol of completion, integrity, and unity. This dome is solemn or orderly. The image of the dome is like a hemisphere or a sky world. By expressing the dome as a "happy dome", the poet represents the kingdom of Khan as paradise of heaven. This paradise kingdom is made up of ten miles of 'fertile land' surrounded by 'surrounding' walls. The garden is bright, "A lot of incense trees are blooming" and the water is overflowing in a streaming stream.
