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.
In the autumn of the same year, they arrived in Liang and Song Dynasties as promised. Here, two people express their feelings through the past and discuss the present. They also met the poet Gao Shi here, who has not yet taken office.
However, each of them has the same ambition and ideal. The three of them had a good time swimming, commenting on literary criticism and poetry, and talking about the general trend of the world. They were all worried about the hidden dangers of the country. At this time, Du Li was in the prime of life, and this exchange of ideas in their creation had a positive impact on them in the future.
This autumn and winter, Du Li broke up again. Li Bai came to the palace (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and asked the eminent monk to teach him Tao. Since then, he has officially performed Taoist rituals and become a Taoist priest. Later, Li Bai went to Anling County, Dezhou, where he met Gaihuan, who was good at writing runes, and made a real rune for him. Li Bai got a satisfactory result in this immortal visit.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Li Bai and Du Fu met for the third time at the east foot. In just over a year, the two met twice and three times, and their friendship deepened. Together, they visited the hermit master and Li Yong, a world-famous essayist and calligrapher at that time. Just this winter, Du Li broke up with her.

The origin of Li Bai's name
The first statement: When Li Bai was seven years old, his father wanted to give his son a formal name. Li Bai's parents love reading and want to cultivate their son into a refined and refined person. Father usually likes to teach children to read and write poems. When he was brewing his name, he discussed with his mother and tested his son's ability to write poetry while walking in the yard.
My father looked at the lush flowers and trees in the spring courtyard and began to recite poems: "Spring sends warm flowers, and early spring comes." Mother went on to say, "burning leaves and red clouds have fallen." Li Bai knew that his parents had memorized the first three sentences of the poem and deliberately left the last sentence, hoping to continue. He went to the blooming plum blossom, thought for a moment and said, "Plum blossoms are in full bloom."
"White"-didn't you say Li Hua's holiness and elegance? The father had a brainwave and decided to choose the words "Li" and "Bai" at the beginning and end of the wonderful sentence as the children's names, so he named his seven-year-old son "Li Bai".
The second way of saying it: In the preface to Li's Collection of Caotang, he said, "He fled to Shu, and later he was born in Bai Yang. Surprised at the dusk of ginger, Chang Geng fell asleep. So I was born with a white name and an ethereal white character. " Fan's "Tombstone of Tang Zuo's Hanlin Bachelor Li" wrote: "It is also true that the male is born, and the first husband refers to Tian (Li) to withdraw the compound surname. The first lady dreams of Chang Geng and declares good luck, and the name and words are salty and vivid."
From the above documents, we can easily see that Li Bai's name was born after his father returned to Shu to resume his surname. Li's mother became pregnant after dreaming of the Taibai Venus, and gave birth to Li Bai in unbearable pain. Li Bai's name comes from this dream.
In the first year of Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was born in the last year of Wu Zetian in 70 1 year. Li Bai studied a wide range of contents in his youth. In addition to Confucian classics and ancient literary and historical masterpieces, he also browsed books with a hundred schools of thought contending. He always thought that he liked Taoism and lived in seclusion in the mountains to seek immortality and learn Taoism. At the same time, he has the political ambition to make contributions. On the one hand, we should be hermits and immortals,
On the one hand, to be the assistant minister of the monarch has formed the contradiction between being born and joining the WTO. However, actively joining the WTO and worrying about the country and the people are the mainstream of his life thoughts and the ideological basis for the progress of his works. Poems written by Li Bai in Shu during his youth are rarely preserved, but articles such as Wandering Taoist and Yuege on Mount Emei show outstanding talents.
