Introduction of Li Bai
Li Bai (70 1-762), male, Taibai, was born in Ji Cheng (now Tianshui County, Gansu Province). At the end of Sui Dynasty, he moved to Broken Leaf City in Central Asia (now Tokamak, Soviet Union), where Li Bai was born. At the age of five, his family moved to Zhangming County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province). At the age of 20, he left Sichuan alone and began to wander widely, reaching Xiangjiang River in Dongting in the south and wuyue in the east, and living in Anlu (now Anlu County, Hubei Province). He traveled around, hoping to make friends and pay homage to celebrities, so as to get an introduction, climb high in one fell swoop and realize his political ideals and ambitions. However, after ten years of wandering, I have accomplished nothing. Continue to go north to Taiyuan and Chang 'an, east to Qi and Lu, and live in Rencheng, Shandong (now Jining, Shandong). At this time, he has made many celebrities and created a lot of excellent poems, which are famous all over the world. In the early days of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Beijing to worship the Hanlin under the recommendation of Taoist Wu Renyun. Soon, due to the remorse of the dignitaries, he was driven out of Beijing in Tianbao 34 (AD 744 or 745). Since then, he has been wandering in Jiang and Huai, and his thoughts are extremely boring. In the winter of the 14th year of Yu Tianbao (AD 755), An Lushan rebelled. At this time, he lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain, which coincided with the great army of Wang Yong and invited Li Bai down the mountain to enter the shogunate. Later, Li Lin rebelled against Su Zong and was eliminated. Li Bai was implicated and sentenced to exile in Yelang (now Guizhou Province). He was pardoned and released halfway from Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to Xuancheng (now Xuancheng, Anhui). In the first year of Baoying (AD 762), Dai Zong died in dangtu county, Anhui. Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the poor" and "settling down in peace", and he struggled to realize this ideal all his life. A large number of his poems not only reflected the prosperity of that era, but also exposed and criticized the debauchery and corruption of the ruling group, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals. In art, his poems are novel in imagination, strong in emotion, magnificent in artistic conception and fresh and lively in language, forming a bold artistic style and reaching the peak of positive romantic poetry in ancient China. There are more than 900 poems, including Li Taibai's poems.
The New Tang Book Volume 202 Li Bai Biography
Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is the grandson of Sheng Xing, the ninth emperor. First, at the end of Sui Dynasty, he migrated to the Western Regions to commit crimes, and at the beginning of Long Dynasty, he fled back to Brazil. Bai Zhisheng, the mother dream of Chang Gengxing, was born because of her. Ten-year-old children's uncle, both long and hidden in Minshan. The state has a way and should not. Su Xiang, the governor of Yizhou, saw the difference and said, "I am a genius, and I have not benefited much from learning, which is comparable." However, I like vertical and horizontal skills and fencing, and I value money for Ren Xia. More guests, and Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, Tao Mian lived in Culai Mountain, drinking and basking in the sun, and the number was "Zhuxi".
Tianbao first entered Nanhuiji, and called with Wu Junshan and Yun, so Bai also went to Chang 'an. When I went to see He, I knew the chapter and saw his article. I sighed, "son, I have fallen into the fairy!" " In his speech, Xuanzong summoned the Golden Throne Hall to talk about the world and give a eulogy. The emperor gave food, relatives served as spoons, and there was a letter to the Hanlin. Jude and the drinkers got drunk in the city. The emperor sat in the pavilion in Shenxiang, feeling something, trying to get a white movement; When I was called, I was drunk, and I mixed water left and right, and a little bit of solution was written on my pen, which was beautiful and meticulous. The emperor loved his talent and met him at several banquets. Taste the emperor for nothing, get drunk before you rest, and make Gao Lishi take off his boots. Luxury goods are always expensive, so I am ashamed. I praise her poems to arouse Yang Guifei, the emperor wants to be an official, and the princess wants to stop. Bai knows that he is not allowed to approach or practice. He, Li, Ruyang, Cui Zongzhi, Zhang Xu and Jiao Sui are also called "Eight Immortals of Wine". The emperor begged for the return of the mountain and returned the gold. White floating around, Pinzhou and Cui Zongzhi came to Jinling from quarrying, sitting on the boat in a palace robe, and no one was watching.
An Lushan rebelled and moved to Songsong and Kuanglu, where Lin served as political assistant. If you arise and flee to Pengze, you will be punished for your defeat. I made a trip to Bing in vain and saw Guo Ziyi. It was amazing. Ziyi tasted breaking the law, and it was useless to save him. Therefore, Ziyi asked the officer to redeem him and had a letter to Yelang. Forgive me, but also find Yang, sitting in prison. Song Ruosi sent three thousand troops to Henan to find Yang, released the prisoner as a staff officer, and resigned soon. Li is a pawn, and Bai Yizhi. Generation, with the left to clean up the legacy, and Bai has passed away, more than 60 years old.
Biography of Old Tang Dynasty (Volume 140) is a white biography.
Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is from Shandong. There are few talents, ambitious and ambitious, and have the heart to surpass. My father is from Ren Chengwei because of his family. Confucius, Han Mian, Pei Zheng, Zhang Shuming, Tao Mian and other middle school students are all hiding in Culai Mountain, singing and drinking, and the time number is "Zhu Xi Liu Fu".
When Tianbao was first built, tourists would meet with Taoist Wu Yun and spend their seclusion time. Then Xuanzong called Jun to the capital, recommended it to the DPRK, sent messengers to call him, and waited for Jun to call the Hanlin. Because Bai is a heavy drinker, he drinks as drunk as a fiddler with his drinking buddies in the hotel every day. Xuanzong tried to create new words for Yuefu, and he urgently called Bai, who was already lying in the restaurant. Call in, water the noodles, even if you write a pen, it will be more than ten chapters, which is quite appreciated by the emperor. The smell was intoxicated in the temple, enough for Gao Lishi to take off his boots, so he dismissed it. He is a vagrant and drinks all day. At that time, Cui Zongzhi, an imperial envoy, was demoted to Jinling and sang with Hundred Years Nine. Boating on a moonlit night, quarrying stones and reaching Jinling, wearing a White House robe, I looked around on the boat, smiling proudly, and no one was around.
When He Zhangzhi saw the white, he boasted: "This heaven is also a fairy." Lushan Mountain Rebellion, Xuanzong was lucky for Shu. On the way, Lin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai military forces and the ambassador of Yangzhou, and he visited Xuanzhou, so he engaged in it. Wang Yong was in chaos, lost, and sat in vain for a long time. Later, he was pardoned, drunk and died drunk in Xuancheng. Twenty volumes of collected works were all the rage.
There are different opinions about Li Bai's birthplace, and there are two kinds of opinions today. First, Li Bai was born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions of Central Asia (near tokmak, east of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan). Li Bai was about five years old, and his family moved to Mian Changlong (now Jiangyou, Sichuan). Secondly, Li Bai was born in Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province). At least one of these two statements is wrong. However, both of these statements have data and historical research, which makes people believe that they are really in a dilemma. )
A detailed life story
First, good Ren Xia, hi Zongheng.
Li Bai was born in the first year of Chang 'an of Wu Zetian in the Western Regions (AD 70 1). At the age of five, he settled in Qinglian Township, Changlong (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province) with his family.
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, he lived in seclusion with a hermit named Dong Yanzi in Sleeping Mountain, devoted himself to studying, and did not enter the city for many years. They keep many exotic birds in the mountain forest 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 Kun was a famous strategist at that time and a good friend of Li Bai. In the fourth year of Kaiyuan (AD 7 16), he wrote ten volumes of long and short classics. Li Bai was only sixteen at that time. Zhao Kun's strategic works of studying the similarities and differences of the Six Classics, analyzing the situation in the world, emphasizing the way of rise and fall, and eliminating 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's wife is Xu Shi. After Xu Shi's death, he married the Zongs. He has two sons and a daughter, one of whom was born in Xushi. Subname: Birchin, posthumous title "Yue Ming slave"; Female name: Pingyang; Another sub-name: Li Po
Li Bai has three wives, one is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xu, surnamed Xu. Second, an ominous name. The granddaughter of the third Prime Minister, surnamed Zong. There is another Liu. Daughter Li Pingyang, surnamed Li.
In 727 AD, the first wife married the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Xu Weishi in Anlu, Hubei Province through the introduction of two friends, Hu Ziyang and Ma. In fact, she didn't get married, but became a son-in-law. 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 unhappy, and he has no mind to ponder other things at all. This is Li Bai's first marriage. Perhaps he still treats it with a very responsible attitude, and judging from the fact that he has a son, a daughter and two sons after marriage, the sexual life of both sides is still very harmonious.
First lover, in 739 AD, that is, after the first marriage 12 years, one year after the death of his first wife, Li Bai met a woman named Liu. In order to make the atmosphere more relaxed, you can think about the beauty and figure of this lady. Li Bai took this woman to Anhui and bought a house, either an apartment or a villa. In a word, they live together like this without marriage, which should be regarded as illegal cohabitation. However, this woman did not expect that Li Bai bought a house and followed him. She probably suspects that he doesn't have a car, or that he is not a government leader, or that there is something wrong with his lifestyle. In a word, the two of them said goodbye soon. Judging from Li Bai's life during this period, he was generally depressed and often drank alcohol. It is estimated that their sex life is not very harmonious.
The second 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, followed Du Fu and Gao Shi all the way to go whoring, passing through Shangqiu, Henan Province, and stayed here for a long time. After breaking up with them, Li Bai went to Taishan to get a Taoist certificate and passed by Rencheng. Lonely, he met this woman, and they hit it off, and now he has a marriage certificate. 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 third wife, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zong Chuke, was quite romantic when Li Bai met Wu Zetian in Kaifeng, Henan Province in 750 AD. It is said that Li Bai was drunk in Liangyuan, and his poems were great, so he wrote the famous poem "Poetry in Liangyuan" on the wall. After writing, he may find a corner to pee, and then pick up 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. Just as the cleaning staff in Liangyuan saw that it was about to be erased, Zong asked not to erase it. However, if someone else's cleaner doesn't clean it, he will be deducted from his salary. Helpless, the Zongs were really impressed by this wonderful poem and spent thousands of dollars to buy this wall. So I left the story of "a thousand dollars for a wall". By this time, I was already jealous of Li Bai, a boy. Really, why did he take all the beautiful women away? In many historical records, this master is described as a family with both talents and looks. Well, I envy him. And the beauty of the imperial clan is also a loyal Taoist believer. Well, the present wife should have the same revolutionary beliefs and literary moral sentiments as Li Bai, which should be regarded as the record of Li Bai's first love, and attention should be paid to love. However, it is also possible that faith is too important, sometimes even surpassing love. In 76 1 year, he lived in Kuangshan to learn Taoism. As a result, Li Bai was alone again. He never got married again. If a man has experienced unforgettable love, he will treat all women as nothing. However, due to his deep feelings, Zongshi rescued Li Bai many times when he was wronged by phosphorus. It is enough to have this woman as a 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 was lucky to meet Sima Zhen.
Li Bai didn't expect an extraordinary meeting in Jiangling. He actually met Sima Zhen, a Taoist priest revered by san huang.
Sima Zhen, a Taoist priest in Tiantai, not only learned a whole set of Taoist spells, but also wrote a good seal script with elegant poems. 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 him.
Li Bai was naturally very happy to see the favored Taoist priest, and sent his own poems for his review. Li Bai is handsome and has extraordinary qualifications. Sima Zhen admired him at first sight, but he was even more amazed after reading his poems, praising him for "having the wind of a saint and drifting with the gods." 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 in Sima Zhen'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.
The following is Dapeng meets rare birds:
Dapeng meets the gift of rare birds and the sequence is merged.
Yesterday, I was in Jiangling, and I saw Sima Weizi on the rooftop, saying that I have a sage like style, and I can wander with my mind on the octupole table. Because Dapeng met a rare bird, it was given a wide range. This gift has been handed down from generation to generation and is common in the world. Regret that you have less work, and abandon it when you are not poor in middle age. Reading the Book of Jin again, I saw Ruan praising Dapeng, and my heart was bitter. Therefore, more memories and more old books are different. Now that you have restored your collection, how dare you pass it on to the author? Children of ordinary people.
He read between the lines: Southern Fairy, who sent the cat to paint the garden? Spit out lofty remarks and make outrageous remarks. Qi-he is strange, and there are fish in the north. I don't know how far it is, but it's called Kun. Cheng Dapeng, the quality is muddy. Take off your moustache on the island and spread your feathers in Tianmen. Brush the spring flow in Bohai Sea, and you will help mulberries. It's the universe, it's Kunlun Mountain. A drum and a dance, vanished. The five mountains were shaken, and all the rivers collapsed.
This is a thick land, too clear. The clouds are layered and suddenly heavy. Stimulate 3000 to rise and quickly levy 90,000. Cui Wei, with his back on Mount Tai, is holding a long cloud vertically and horizontally. Turn left and right, and the yin suddenly disappears. Through sweat, corrected by Yao, magnificent. Bo HarmonyOS system, Fan Leiting. Fighting over the sky, mountains shake the sea and tilt. Anger has nothing to contend with, and male has nothing to contend with. You can imagine its potential, and you can reach its shape.
If it is full of rainbows, it will dazzle the sun and the moon. Even the porch is procrastinating and profligate. Blowing air makes clouds grow in Liuhe, and sprinkling hair makes snow fly thousands of miles. If you are in the north, you will be poor in the south. The clouds went off with a cannon and drums were everywhere. Candle dragon took the lamp to shine, but he lacked the whip and the way to start. See three mountains in one block and five lakes in one cup. His actions are also God's, and his actions are all the same. Let the public see, stop fishing. If you are poor, you dare not bend the arc It is difficult to throw a fishing rod but miss it.
Erqi's majestic posture has overwhelmed Hehan. The upper body is gray and the lower body is long. Pangu opened the sky and looked straight at it, while xi leaned against the sun and sighed. Between the eight famines, it is half the world. When you hide your thoughts, if you are confused, you will not be judged. Suddenly, as soon as you turn around, the sky is outlined and the fog clears.
2. Burying friends in Dongting
Li Bai went south from Jiangling, passed 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, came from Sichuan and died of sudden illness. 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, where he wrote a famous poem "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. Here, the public is in the mountains and rivers, the tiger lives in the dragon plate, and the Six Dynasties Palace is vivid. 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 current 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 Letter to Meng Haoran".
Soon, Li Bai arrived in Anlu and settled 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 fiercely again, and it happened that Li Bai was also traveling to the west, hoping to win Xuanzong's appreciation for the book Da Hunting Fu.
His "Great Levy" hopes to "show things widely", while "Sheng Chao Garden is desolate and poor", with a vast territory, is very different from the previous generation, boasting that this dynasty is far superior to the Han Dynasty, and finally promoting the mysterious burial of Taoism, which is in line with Xuanzong's state of mind of advocating Taoism at that time.
The purpose of Li Baixi's visit is to present a gift. In addition, he also took the opportunity to visit Chang 'an and enjoy the scenery of this "world worship" imperial city. He lives at the foot of Mount Zhongnan and often visits and overlooks Mount Zhongnan. 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 decadent factors in this prosperous empire once again hit his lofty mood. "
After Li Bai entered Chang 'an, he met Zhang Qing, a general of Wei, and through him he dedicated a poem to Princess Yu Zhen. The last two sentences say, "When there are few people, the Queen Mother wants to meet", wishing 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 likes Shu Dao Nan and Wu Qi Qu very much. He excitedly took the scarab off his belt and invited someone to go out for a drink with Li Bai. Li Bai's majestic poem and the style of whistling and scattering dust surprised He and 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 was extremely dissatisfied when I arrived at the door of the maharaja. I just left Chang 'an with a sigh "It's hard to go, come back".
Fourth, the Hanlin sacrifice.
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.
At the beginning of Tianbao, Xuanzong took chiefs and envoys to the Wen family for hunting every winter, accompanied by Li Bai's natural attendants, and made poems on the spot to publicize Xuanzong's virtue and praise the power of the holy dynasty, which won Xuanzong's appreciation. At this time, Xuanzong doted on Yang Yuhuan. Every time he played with her in the palace, Xuanzong asked Li Bai to write some music words and compose some new songs to sing. Li Bai tried his best to write these poems with the feelings of "a strong man serving the country and a strong man serving the country".
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 the country was in deep crisis under the scene of prosperity. That is, the overbearing eunuch and the arrogant consort 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. Under the favor of eunuchs and consorts, Li Bai's enthusiasm for "helping the poor" suddenly cooled down. Although he was in Chang 'an, he didn't have a chance to display his management and beauty skills.
Li Bai was deeply moved by the corruption of state affairs and the slander of his colleagues. He wrote a poem "Hanlin Reading Shows Scholar's Heart" to express his intention of returning to the mountain. 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.
This return to the mountain is really a decent exile.
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 immortal 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 to travel eastward at this time, and Li Bai was invited to act.
Behind the scenes, Li Baili advised Wang Yong to put out thieves, and at the same time 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 unknown reason, instead of seeing the letter of appointment, he was turned into a long-lost Yelang (now Zitong, 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 the sentence is long and never comes back, and Li Bai is now in his twilight years. "Yelang Wan Li Road makes people old in the west" 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 all the deceased were 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 "Chaofa Baidicheng" 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 when he was dying, at the age of 62.
Li Bai's poem
Now there are more than 990 poems and songs by Li Bai. There are a lot of political lyric poems, which fully show the poet's extraordinary ambition, unrestrained passion and chivalrous spirit, and also represent the typical tone of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Bai has a strong sense of self and compares himself with Dapeng many times. "One day, Dapeng rises with the wind and goes straight to Wan Li" and "Li Yong". However, Li Bai's frustration in Chang 'an for three years turned his full political enthusiasm into a wild song of grief and indignation when he was hit by reality again, and it gushed out from his chest: "The road is like a blue sky, and there is no way out in front of me. I am ashamed to follow those who have no courage, fighting chickens and dogs to bet on pears, and I want to return home with no fish to eat. Zhou Busi succumbed to the gentry. Li Bai also used a hearty drinking poem to dispel the sadness of his talent. "Will?
