According to the New Tang Book, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the King of Liang. According to this statement, Li Bai and the kings of Li Tang are actually the same clan, so he should be the same generation brother of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. It is also said that his ancestors were Li or Li Yuanji, who moved to the western regions because of genocide; But this statement lacks evidence. According to Old Tang Book, Li Bai's father, Li Ke, was appointed as the city guard.

Li Bai was born in the first year of Chang 'an (70 1). Li Bai's ancestral home is Ji Cheng (now Qin 'an County, Gansu Province). There are different opinions about his birthplace. According to Biography of Li Bai in Old Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was born in 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". Another way of saying it is that his father was born from the Central Plains in Broken Leaf City (now tokmak, Kyrgyzstan) in the Western Regions, and moved to Changlong County in Jiannan Mianzhou at the age of 4 (7 12 was renamed Changming County, now jiangyou city, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province). His father Li Ke's life story is unknown.
Li Bai was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At the age of twenty-five, he left Sichuan alone and began to wander widely, reaching Xiangjiang River in Dongting in the south, Huiji (Shaoxing) in the east, and living in Anlu (now Anlu City, Hubei Province) and Yingshan (now Guangshui City, Hubei Province).
Until the first year of Tianbao (742), Li Bai was called to Chang 'an to worship the Hanlin under the recommendation of Taoist Wu Yun. His articles are famous all over the world. Later, because he couldn't meet the dignitaries, he only stayed in Beijing for two and a half years and then abandoned his official position and went on wandering.
Portrait of Li Bai
Calligrapher Jing Wong writes Li Bai's poems.
In the second year of An Shi Rebellion (756), he was angry and uneasy, and once joined Li Lin, the shogunate of Wang Yong. Unfortunately, Wang Yong and Su Zong competed for the throne. After the defeat, Li Bai was implicated and exiled Yelang (now Guizhou). I was forgiven on the way and wrote "Send Baidicheng early". In his later years, he drifted to the southeast, went to his uncle dangtu county to make Li, and died soon. Some people say that "drunkenness is not about wine", that is, drinking causes death (see Pi Rixiu's Poems of Li Hanlin). Some people say that it is simply sudden death due to drinking (see Old Tang Book). It is also said that he was drunk and drowned in the lake, which has a long history and is widely circulated.
