Li Bai's Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty

Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is from Shandong. Mother's dream is born with Geng Xing and life. When I was ten years old, I passed the Five Classics. I dreamed of writing flowers. I became a genius and became famous all over the world. I like vertical and horizontal, fencing is Ren Xia, and I am generous with my money. He lived in Culai Mountain with Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, Tao Mian, etc. Every day, he had a booze called "Zhuxi".

At the beginning of Tianbao, from Shu to Chang 'an, the Tao was unshakable, so I invested in my career. After reading "Difficult Road to Shu", I sighed: "I am also a fairy." It is to solve the problem of scarabs changing wine and appreciate each other all day long. Therefore, I recommended it to Xuanzong, and summoned the Golden Throne Hall to discuss current affairs. Because I sang a song, the emperor was happy, gave him a meal and served himself as a spoon. I wrote a letter to Hanlin. After getting drunk, he went to the grass and asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots. Ashamed, he picked up the story of Feiyan in Qingpingdiao to anger the imperial concubine. Every time the emperor wanted to be an official, the imperial concubine fell in love. Bai Yi Aofang, together with He, Li, Ruyang Wang Fu, Cui Zongzhi, Zhang Xu and Jiao Ai, are called "Eight Immortals of Drinking". Plead to return the mountain, give money, and release it.

White wanders, wants to climb Huashan Mountain, rides drunk and crosses the county seat. The butcher doesn't know and is angry. He leads him to the court and says, "Who are you, how dare you be rude!" Bai said darkly, "The dragon was ordered to wipe the towel, the imperial concubine held the inkstone, and Lux took off his boots. Before the son of heaven, Shang Rong was walking; You can't ride a donkey in Huayin County? " Surprised and ashamed, the butcher thanked him and said, "I didn't know Hanlin was here." Bai Chang went away with a smile. Try to take a boat, and Cui Zongzhi went to Jinling to collect stones, sitting in the palace robe, and there was no one around. Lushan uprising, Ming Taizu in Shu, in the southeast, white, lying in Lushan, as a supplement. Lin rebelled and fled to Pengze for nothing. Lost, tired of Xunyang prison. At the beginning, I made a trip to Bing in vain and was surprised to see Guo Ziyi. I saved him from death. When he arrived, Guo Ziyi asked the officer to redeem him, and he sent a letter to show mercy to Yelang.

The White Night Festival is so yellow and old. We spent a lot of time in Niuzhuji, catching the moon with wine and sinking into the water. At the beginning, I was happy with Xie Jiaqing's castle peak, and now the tomb is here. 20 volumes of collected works, published in the world.

Lessons from the Past (Volume 09: Li Chenxian's "Drunken Grass Cry"

A detailed life story

First, good Ren Xia, hi Zongheng.

Li Bai liked Ren Xia when he was young. He was very happy. Mianzhou, where Changlong is located, has been an active place of Taoism since the end of Han Dynasty. Therefore, Li Bai often went to Daitianshan to talk to Taoist priests from his youth. Later, in Minshan, he lived in seclusion with a hermit named Dongyanzi, devoted himself to studying, and did not enter the city for many years. They keep many exotic birds and work as animal keepers in the mountains where they live. These beautiful and docile birds are used to breeding and fly to feed regularly, as if they can understand human language. As soon as they heard the cry, they flew down the steps from all directions and even pecked at the grain in people's hands without fear. This incident was spread as an anecdote, from far to near, and finally Mianzhou secretariat personally went up the mountain to watch birds eat. Seeing that they could direct the movement of birds, the secretariat decided that they had Taoism, so he wanted to recommend them to take the Taoist exam. However, both of them politely refused. Zhao Qi, a famous strategist at that time, was also a good friend of Li Bai. He compiled ten volumes of long and short classics in the fourth year of Kaiyuan (AD 7 16). Li Bai was only sixteen at that time. Zhao Kun's strategic works, which studied the similarities and differences of the Six Classics, analyzed the situation in the world, emphasized the way of rise and fall, and managed chaos, aroused Li Bai's great interest. He is bent on making contributions in the future and likes to talk about the way of Wang Ba, which is also influenced by this book.

Li Bai had four wives in his life. The first is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Xu. The second, Liu; The third, Donglu female, whose name is unknown; The fourth is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Zongchuk. He has two sons and a daughter, one of whom was born in Xushi. His son's name is Birchin, nicknamed "Yue Ming slave". There are many girls named Ainu in Uighurs. "Ayi" is the moon, "Nu" is light, Yue Ming Nu, the moon is a free translation, Nu is a transliteration; Female name: Pingyang; The other son was born to a woman in Donglu, named Li Po. The reason why Li Bai named the child like this is related to the broken leaves that his family once lived in. Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism prevailed in West Asia and Central Asia at that time, worshiping heaven, earth, sun, moon and fire.

In 727 AD, with the help of two friends, Hu Ziyang and Ma, the first wife married the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Xu. In fact, she didn't get married, but just became a son-in-law who turned the door upside down. Because Li Bai has been living in his father-in-law's house for ten years after his marriage, the taste of relying on others makes him very depressed, and he has no mind to ponder other things at all. This is Li Bai's first marriage. Maybe he still treated it with a very responsible attitude. Moreover, judging from the fact that he has a son, a daughter and two sons after marriage, the marriage life of both parties is still very harmonious. In 738 AD, Xu passed away.

Second wife, in 739 AD, that is, after the first marriage 12 years, one year after the death of the first wife, Li Bai married a woman named Liu. Soon, because Liu looked down on Li Bai, Li Bai left angrily.

Li Bai is at odds with his second wife, Liu, which is also reflected in the poem "Nanling children don't go to Beijing". In the poem, "A foolish woman despises a minister" refers to his second wife Liu, implying that a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty was despised by his wife, which shows that Liu still has some influence.

The third wife, in 745 AD, Li Bai was appointed as a city in Shandong and married a local woman. At this time, Li Baigang came out of the capital Chang 'an, carrying a big bag of gold and silver treasures and Du Fu and Gao Shi all the way through Shangqiu, Henan, and stayed here for a long time. After breaking up with the two of them, Li Bai went to Taishan to find a Taoist priest himself, passed by Rencheng and met this woman, and they hit it off. This wife of Li Bai gave birth to a son, and Li Bai bought a lot of land and real estate in Yanzhou, Shandong. After that, he gave all these land and real estate to his wife during his wandering life. It can be seen that Li Bai trusts his wife very much Unfortunately, the wife died after they had been married for five years.

The fourth wife, when Li Bai met Wu Zetian in Kaifeng, Henan in 750 AD, was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zong Chuke. Talking about their acquaintance is quite romantic. It is said that Li Bai was drunk in Liangyuan, and his poems were great. He wrote the famous poem "Song of Liangyuan" on the wall. After writing, he might find a corner to pee, then lift his gown and leave. Shortly after leaving, the Zong couple came here with their servants. When they saw this poem, they couldn't let it go for a long time. It happened that the people in Liangyuan saw it and were about to clean it. Zong asked not to clean it, and spent a lot of money to buy this wall. So he left the story of "a thousand dollars for a wall". In many historical records, the master is described as a lady with both talent and beauty, and the beauty of the master is also a loyal Taoist believer. It can be said that Li Bai is like-minded. When Li Bai was imprisoned for Li Lin's case and sent to Yelang, the Zongs also rescued him many times, and the two never met again. Li Bai liked his last wife's imperial clan and once wrote a poem "Generations" to express his thoughts on his wife.

Second, travel with a sword.

In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (A.D. 725), Li Bai went to Shu, "leaving his sword to serve the country and his relatives to travel far away". He sailed out of the gorge and drifted along the river, and the mountains in his hometown gradually disappeared beyond recognition. Only the water from the Three Gorges still followed him, pushing his boat and sending him to a strange and distant city.

1. Jiangling meets Sima Cheng Town: Li Bai did not expect to meet unexpectedly in Jiangling. He actually met Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist who was respected by three emperors. Tiantai Taoist Sima Chengzhen not only learned a whole set of Taoist spells, but also wrote a good seal script, and his poems were as elegant as immortals. Xuanzong respected him very much. Once, he called him to the Inner Temple to learn Buddhist scriptures, built a balcony for him to view, and sent his sister Princess Yu Zhen to study Taoism with her. Li Bai was naturally very happy to see the favored Taoist priest, and sent his own poems for his review. Li Bai's elegant appearance and extraordinary qualifications made Sima Chengzhen appreciate it at first sight, but when he read his poems, he was even more amazed and praised him for "having the wind of a saint, which can make him wander at will." Because he saw that Li Bai was not only outstanding in appearance, but also brilliant in writing, which did not attract the attention of contemporary Rong Lu officials. This is a talent he has never met in the opposition for decades, so he is praised with the highest praise from Taoism. In other words, he has a "immortal root", that is, he was born immortal, which is similar to what He Zhang later praised him as "an immortal", and everyone regarded him as an extraordinary person. This is the overall impression of Li Bai's demeanor and poetic style.

Li Bai rejoiced at Sima Cheng's high praise. He is determined to pursue such an eternal and immortal world as "wandering octupole". Excited, he wrote a great poem "Dapeng meets a bird", taking Dapeng as a metaphor and boasting about its great speed. This is Li Bai's earliest world famous work. He set off from Jiangling and started his flight thousands of miles away.

2. Li Bai, a friend buried in Dongting, went south from Jiangling, crossed Yueyang and then went south to reach one of the destinations of this trip. However, while rowing in Dongting, an unfortunate thing happened. Li Bai's traveling companion Wu Guide, from Sichuan, died of sudden illness (or was beaten to death). Li Bai is very sad. He fell down beside his friend and shouted, "Blood is behind the tears". Because he cried so much, passers-by cried for it. It's really helpless to meet such misfortune on the trip. Li Bai had to bury Wu Zhidao in Dongting Lake for the time being, and continued his eastward journey, determined to carry his friend's bones away after his trip to the southeast. Li Bai came to Lushan Mountain and wrote the famous "Looking at Lushan Waterfall".

3. A trip to the south of the Yangtze River

Li Bai went to Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. This place is magnificent, a tiger sits on a dragon plate, and the palaces of the Six Dynasties can be vividly seen. This not only aroused many feelings of Li Bai, but also aroused his pride in that era. He believes that the old capital has been in a state of decline, and there is nothing to see. It is not as good as the emperor's rule, and the world presents a peaceful scene. Although the domineering spirit of Jinling has disappeared, the children of Jinling have received Li Bai with deep affection. When Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, Wu Ji suppressed the wine, and Jinling's sons and daughters sent them to each other diligently, frequently raising glasses to persuade them to drink. The feeling of farewell flows through people's hearts like a flowing river, which is unforgettable. After Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, he went to Yangzhou from the riverside. Yangzhou was an international city at that time. Li Bai has never seen such a lively city, and has been hanging out with fellow travelers for a while. In midsummer, Li Bai and several young friends "dismounted, beside Oubei Avenue. Look at the green water on the horizon and the green hills on the sea. " It's so pleasant. In autumn, he fell ill in Huainan (Yangzhou). Being in a foreign country, he has a lot of thoughts. He lamented that he had little hope of making achievements and missed his hometown deeply. The only thing that can bring him some comfort is a letter from a distant friend.

Li Bai went to Gusu after recovering from illness in Huainan. This is the place where Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and beautiful women sing and dance day and night. Li Bai missed the past and wrote an epic poem "Wu Qiqu". This poem was later praised by He, calling it "making the gods cry". From this point of view, although Li Bai's Yuefu poems sometimes use old topics, they are more innovative. Of course, the scenic spots and historical sites in Gusu aroused Li Bai's nostalgia for the past, and the beautiful and simple Wu Ji and Yue Nv made Li Bai admire them. Li Bai left a beautiful sketch on the Huansha stone with his wonderful pen at the foot of the mountain where the stone used to be Huansha. Li Bai returned to Jingmen from the west. He stayed in Jingmen for three months. Although he is homesick, he has made no achievements in his career and finds it difficult to return to his hometown. Finally, he decided to roam again. First came to Dongting Lake and buried Wu Guide's bones in Jiangxia (now Wuchang, Hubei). He met the monk Xing Rong in Jiangxia, and learned about Meng Haoran from him, so he went to Xiangyang to visit Meng Haoran and wrote the famous five-rhythm poem A Word to Meng Haoran. Soon, Li Bai arrived in Anlu and settled down in the Taoist temple of the little beast. But seclusion here is not a long-term solution, and he still wants to find opportunities for career advancement. When Li Bai lived in seclusion in Shoushan, he made friends with officials by lobbying to improve his reputation. Li Bai's literary talent was appreciated by Xu Shiyu, the prime minister of Wuhou, and he was recruited as a son-in-law. Li Bai and his wife, Xu, live a happy married life under Taohua Rock in Baizhao Mountain, not far from the Xu family. However, the beauty of husband and wife's life did not make Li Bai's ambition to go out and make a successful career decline. Based on Anzhou's wife's family, I traveled several times and got to know some officials and nobles. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (AD 734), I got to know the Han Dynasty Sect, the long history of Jingzhou and the secretariat of Xiangzhou.

3. Once in Chang 'an

Feudal emperors often hunted in winter. After Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, he hunted many times, and every time he took foreign envoys to show off his strength to deter neighboring countries. In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (AD 735), Xuanzong hunted again, and it happened that Li Bai was also traveling westward, hoping to win Xuanzong's appreciation because of his "Da Hunting Fu".

His "Great Levy" hopes to "show things widely", but "Sheng Chao gardens are remote and desolate, and the situation is very different from that of the previous generation", boasting that this dynasty is far superior to the Han Dynasty, and promoting the mysterious burial of Taoism at the end, in order to fit Xuanzong's mood of advocating Taoism at that time. The purpose of Li Baixi's visit is to present a gift. In addition, he also took this opportunity to visit Chang 'an and appreciate the scenery of this "pilgrimage to all countries". He lives at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. "He often climbs to Zhongnanshan to overlook it. When he climbed the North Peak of Zhong Nanshan, he showed him the elegance of a great country. He deeply feels that living in such a country is extraordinary, so he is quite proud. But the thought of the decadent factors in this prosperous empire once again hit his lofty mood. After Li Bai entered Chang 'an, he met Zhang Weiwei Qing and gave a poem to Princess Yu Zhen through him. The last two sentences say, "When there are few people, the Queen Mother wants to meet", which is to wish her enlightenment. Li Bai also said in his poem "Seeing Qing off" that his situation was very difficult and he hoped to introduce him to the imperial court. So he approached the upper class of the ruling class step by step. Li Bai also met He in Chang 'an this time. Li Bai once went to the Purple Pole Palace, only to meet He there. He has read He Lao's poems. When I met him this time, he naturally stepped forward to meet him and presented a book of poetry in his sleeve. He liked Shu Daonan and Wu Qiqu very much, so he took the scarab off his belt and asked someone to take Li Bai out for a drink. He was shocked by Li Bai's magnificent poems and roaring dust, and even said, "Did you come down to earth with a white Venus? "

A year later, Li Bai was still a guest in Chang 'an and had no chance to take office. His mood is a little depressed. A good friend sincerely invited him to live in a secluded place under the sunshine of green hills, but Li Bai had no intention of going. This time I went to Chang 'an, with the ideal of making contributions, but I couldn't find it anywhere, which made Li Bai feel disappointed and a little resentful. I went to visit the prince at his door, and I was extremely dissatisfied. I just left Chang 'an with a sigh "It's hard to go, come back".

Fourth, pay back the money

Li Bai, 42, was recommended to Chang 'an by Princess Yu Zhen, the sister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (said to be introduced by Taoist Wu Yun). Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appreciated Li Bai's talent and treated him with great courtesy. Li's Preface to the Collection of Caotang said, "Retire to greet you, as you see (one of the" Four Masters of Shangshan "in the Qin and Han Dynasties)". "Give the rice to the Qibao bed and let the royal hand scoop the rice." . But Tang Xuanzong only asked him to worship the Hanlin and be his own literary attendant. Three years later, he was "repaid" by Tang Xuanzong.

Living in Chang 'an for three years has made Li Bai more aware of all kinds of corruption and darkness in North Korea. Being "paid back" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was a watershed in Li Bai's political career.

In the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), Xuanzong read Li Bai's poems and admired them, so he called Li Bai into the palace. On the day when Li Bai entered the palace to appear before the court, Xuanzong came down to meet him and said, "Give the rice in front of the Qibao bed and scoop it yourself." Xuanzong asked some contemporary affairs, and Li Bai gave a thoughtful answer based on his half-life study and long-term observation of society. Xuanzong was greatly appreciated and immediately made Li Bai worship the Hanlin. His job is to draft the announcement and accompany the emperor. Every time Xuanzong gave a banquet or outing, he ordered Li Bai's attendants to use his agile poetic talent to write poems on the spot. Although it is not a record of merit, it also spreads its words to future generations and arrogantly boasts to future generations. Li Bai was so prized by Xuanzong that his colleagues envied him, but some people were jealous of him.

When Li Bai was in Chang 'an, he not only worshipped Hanlin and accompanied Wang, but also often walked in Chang 'an. He found that there was a deep crisis in the prosperity of the country, that is, overbearing eunuchs and arrogant consorts closest to the emperor. They hung over Chang 'an and China like dark clouds, giving Li Bai a strong sense of oppression.

At the same time, Li Bai's debauchery was slandered by Zhang Tan, a scholar of Hanlin, and there were some bad feelings between them.

Li Bai was deeply moved by the corruption of state affairs and the slander of his colleagues. He wrote a song "Hanlin research, talk and gift to scholars" to express his intention of returning to the mountains. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Bai was given back the gold, which seemed very unexpected. This time, it seems that Li Bai said something inappropriate.

Fifth, travel again.

1. Roaming in Song Liang

In the summer of the third year of Tianbao (AD 744), Li Bai arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Here, he met Du Fu, who had a hard time. 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, an "old friend", did not bow to Li Bai's praise. The two men established a profound friendship on an equal footing. When they were in Luoyang, they made an appointment to meet again in Liang and Song Dynasties (now in Shangqiu, Kaifeng) to seek immortality. This autumn, the two arrived in Liang Song as scheduled. 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. In the autumn and winter of this year, Du Li broke up again and went to find a Taoist teacher to make a real coffin (Taoist secret) and taught Taoist priests to make coffins. Li Bai arrived (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and was taught by Taoist Gao of the Qing Dynasty in the palace. Since then, he has officially performed Taoist rituals and become a Taoist priest. Later, Li Bai went to Anling County, Dezhou, and met Gailiao, who was good at writing symbols and seals in this area, and made a true atlas for him. Li Bai got a satisfactory result in this fairy's visit. In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (AD 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, the two broke up and Li Bai was ready to revisit Jiangdong.

2. Go east to wuyue.

Li Bai left Donglu, took a boat from Rencheng and went to Yangzhou along the canal. I didn't stay much because I was in a hurry to meet Yuan Danqiu in Huiji. After arriving in Huiji, Li Bai first went to mourn the death of He. Soon, Kong also came to Huiji, so Li Bai, Yuan Danqiu and Kong visited Yudong, Lanting and other historical sites, boating in a quiet lake and wandering among rivers, and improvised descriptions of the beautiful scenery and beautiful women in this area. In Jinling, Li Bai met Cui Chengfu. Both of them are politically frustrated, and their feelings are more congenial. Every time I play, I enjoy swimming, morning and evening. They went boating on the Qinhuai River and sang all night, which attracted people on both sides of the strait to marvel and applaud them. Because of their congenial personalities and similar experiences, they have more tacit understanding and deeper friendship than ordinary friends, so Li Bai tied Cui Chengfu's poems to his clothes and memorized them when he remembered them.

3. explore the secluded swallow and take the Jiangnan road.

Li Bai wandered in wuyue for several years. At this time, the country is in chaos and the situation is getting worse every year. Under the guidance of taking the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, he decided to go to Youyan (now Beijing) to explore the reality. At the end of Youyan, Li Bai saw with his own eyes that An Lushan was preparing his horse and arranging his troops. The situation is very critical, but there is nothing he can do. Two or three years before the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai wandered around Xuancheng, Dangtu, Nanling and Qiupu, still relying on food and clothing, and often wrote poems to help local officials. In this roaming, Li Bai died his wife Xu Shi and married the master. The family is changeable and the country is troubled. While seeking immortality, Li Bai learned Taoism and tried to contribute to the country. He is still concerned about national security, although he is still roaming, which is different from the past.

Six, on the way to death

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion was launched, and Li Bai took refuge in Lushan Mountain. At that time, there were always two contradictory ideas in his mind: retiring and helping the world. Li Lin, the king of the ages, just started his eastward tour at this time, and Li Bai was invited to enter the curtain. Li Bai went behind the scenes and urged Wang Yong and Wang Qin to put an end to thieves, but he also reflected on his lack of political foresight. Xiao and Kong in the south of the Yangtze River were also invited to avoid disaster. In this respect, Li Bai is obviously inferior to them. Wang Yong was soon defeated, and Li Bai was imprisoned in Xunyang. At this time, Cui Huan encouraged Jiangnan to recruit talents. Li Bai wrote poems for help, and his wife guru also cried for help. Song Ruosi stationed 3000 troops of Wu Bing in Xunyang. He rescued Li Bai from the prison and let him join the shogunate. Li Bai became Song Ruosi's adjutant, wrote several essays for Song, and followed him to Wuchang. Li Bai was highly valued under Song Ruosi, and recommended to the court again in the name of Song Dynasty, hoping to be appointed by the court again. But for some reason, instead of seeing the letter of appointment, he was turned into Yelang (now Tongzi, Guizhou), which was completely unexpected. Because at that time, Wang Yong's military commander-in-chief, Junba, was highly valued. The reason why things have changed may be related to the loss of power and influence of Cui Huan and Zhang Hao. In the winter of the second year of Zhide (AD 757), Li Bai went from Xunyang Road to Yelang, the exile. Because sentencing is a long-term crime and it will never return, and Li Bai is now in his twilight years. "Yelang Wan Li Lucy is old", which made him even more sad. Because Li Bai is well-known in China, he was received by local officials along the way. Everyone respected him very much and didn't regard him as an exiled sinner. In the second year of Gan Yuan (AD 759), Li Bai went to Wushan. Because of the drought in Guanzhong, the court announced an Amnesty, stipulating that the dead were completely pardoned from the stream and below. In this way, Li Bai was finally free after a long wandering. He immediately descended from the Yangtze River, and the famous song "Send Baidicheng Early" best reflected his mood at that time. In Jiangxia, Li Bai stayed for a while because his old friend Liang Zai was a local satrap. In the second year of Gan Yuan, at the invitation of a friend, Li Bai once again went boating with the demoted Jia Zhi to enjoy the moon in Dongting Lake, thinking about ancient love and expressing his feelings with poetry. Soon, he returned to the old places of Xuancheng and Jinling. For almost two years, he shuttled between the two places and still lived on people. In the second year of last year, Li Bai, who was in his early sixties, returned to Jinling due to illness. In Jinling, his life was rather embarrassing, so he had to go to his uncle Li, who was the county magistrate of dangtu county. In the third year of Shangyuan (AD 762), Li Bai was seriously ill. He gave the manuscript to Li before he died, at the age of 62.

There have always been different opinions about the death of Li Bai. Generally speaking, there are three ways to die: one is drunk, the other is sick, and the third is drowning. The first way to die is found in Old Tang Shu, which says that Li Bai "died of drunkenness in Xuancheng because of excessive drinking". The second way to die is also found in other official history or textual research by experts and scholars. It is said that when Li Bai was in Dongzhen, Li Guangbi, he volunteered to kill the enemy regardless of his age of 6 1. He hoped to try his best to save the nation and survive in his later years, and returned home due to illness. He died in Dangtu County Magistrate and the most famous seal writer Li in the Tang Dynasty. The third law of death often appears in folklore, which is very romantic. Li Bai was drinking on the Dangtu River and drowned because he jumped into the water drunk to catch the moon, which is very in line with the poet's character. But no matter which way you die, it is directly related to your participation in the rebellion and uprising in Lilin, Wang Yong. It is an indisputable fact that Li Bai exiled Yelang shortly after he was pardoned, ending his legendary and bumpy life. ) Even the sky was shocked.
