He is cheerful and generous, willing to make friends, and likes to drink and write poems, ranking among the "Eight Immortals in Wine". Appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he served as a sacrifice to Hanlin, gave back money and traveled all over the country, and successively married the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xu He Zongchuke. After Tang Suzong acceded to the throne, he got involved in the rebellion and exiled Yelang to Li's hometown in dangtu county. In the second year of Shang Yuan, he died at the age of sixty-two.
Du Li met.
In the summer of the third year of Tianbao (744), Li Bai arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Here, he met Du Fu. The two greatest poets in the history of China literature met. At this time, Li Bai was famous all over the country, while Du Fu was in his prime, but he stayed in Los Angeles. Li Bai is eleven years older than Du Fu, but he is not arrogant in front of Du Fu with his talent.
Du Fu, a "high-sex and heavy-drinking" and "old friend", did not bow his head to praise Li Bai. The two men established a profound friendship on an equal footing. When they were in Luoyang, they made an appointment to meet each other in Liang and Song Dynasties (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu) to visit Taoism and seek immortality.
