Although Li Bai was a poet in the Tang Dynasty, he was born in the period of Wu Zetian in the Zhou Dynasty, but when Wu Zetian died, he was still young, only five years old. Therefore, to put it simply, Li Bai's life was spent during the reign of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai 15 years old was a famous young genius in the local area at that time. Many people saw that Li Bai was more talented and encouraged him to take the imperial examination. In fact, Li Bai himself disdained taking the imperial examination, but because people around him kept asking him to take it, he took it, but he didn't make the list, which made Li Bai want to win and lose, and he didn't get in until he was about 30 years old. Li Bai felt that he had no fate with this examination system. Originally, he didn't care about fame and fortune, so he simply gave up and never became an official.
Besides, why is Li Bai not on the list again and again, or because everyone is preparing for the exam. He traveled around, ignoring the imperial examination, traveling all day and making friends with sages. Living such a free life, it is no wonder that he failed so many imperial examinations. Li Bai has been wandering until he was forty years old. He passed it on to some friends here and went there to write some poems.
After the age of 40, Li Bai was called into the palace to worship the Hanlin because one of his relatives was in the palace. He also entered the palace to work. An interesting thing happened to Li Bai between the ages of 42 and 44, that is, Emperor Tang Ming asked Li Bai to write a poem for Yang Guifei. Li Bai was drunk at that time, so he asked eunuch Gao Lishi to take off his boots. After that, he picked up a brush and wrote: "The clouds want clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to show wealth. If it weren't for Yushantou, I would meet Yaotai under the moon. " This poem made everyone present applaud.
Later, because Li Bai's free and loose personality could not be integrated with various systems in the palace, and Li Bai would not associate with officials in the palace, he could not get along in the palace quickly, so he resigned from the emperor and continued his tour. After leaving the palace, Li Bai began to be keen on seeking immortality and visiting Taoism. During his travels in Taoism, Li Bai also met his good friend Du Fu. When Du Fu was a child, he heard that Li Bai was very talented. He read his poems many times and thought that Li Bai was an unparalleled genius. After Du Fu knew Li Bai, he followed Li Bai everywhere, and they played together for more than a year. During this period, Du Fu wrote many poems for Li. Interested friends can check the information.
A year later, Du Fu and Li Bai met an Anshi Rebellion, so they separated, and Li Bai found a safe place to live in seclusion in Luzhou for a period of time. During Li Bai's seclusion in Luzhou, Li Lin of Wang Yong wanted to ask Li Bai to work for him. Li Bai is also a casual person: since Wang Yong respects me, I will follow him. The Tang Dynasty was in the midst of a national disaster. Even a bohemian like Li Bai wants to contribute to the country. When Li Bai met Wang Yong, Wang Yong Li Lin rebelled, and the rebellion failed. Then Li Bai was convicted of disobedience and began four years of exile.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became the emperor's father and decided to grant amnesty to the whole world. Li Bai, who was exiled, was also sent back. Li Bai was very happy to learn that he could go home. He wrote a poem: "Farewell to Bai Di in the morning, and return to Jiangling in a thousand miles." Apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can't stop crying. The canoe has passed Chung Shan Man. "After the Anshi rebellion, Li Bai was pardoned, and there was no problem in his later years. He traveled around all his life.
Summary: Li Bai's life, although he never worked as an official or general, advised the country and fought in the north and south, can't say that Li Bai didn't make any contribution to the Tang Dynasty at that time. From the cultural aspect alone, we can see the fine works left by Li Bai. Li Bai's poems are brilliant. Where is he smart? Poems written hundreds of years ago can be read by people of all ages. Primary school, junior high school, senior high school and even university can all read what Li Bai's poems contain. Reading Li Bai's poems, we can feel the profoundness and long-standing charm of China culture. There is a program that summarizes Li Bai's achievements in his life. One of the most famous words is: Without Li Bai, the status of poets in the whole Tang Dynasty will be promoted, Li Shangyin will no longer be called "Xiao Li", and Wang Changling will become the chief quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen how high Li Bai's position was in the Tang Dynasty.
