Li Baikong was full of ambition and confidence in his political ability, but he was not reused and was laughed at by the world. His road to being an official is as difficult as this one.
However, throughout the history of more than 1000 years, it seems that the poet did not leave much achievements in politics, and Li Bai may not have some talent as a politician. It is not surprising that his "Top Gun" was ridiculed, but as a poet, he really became a Dapeng roaming the sky.
Li Bai's poems, which we recited too much, flowed into the world like fountains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Du Fu should be the one who gave Li Bai the most evaluation at the same time. He wrote in "Send Li Twelve White Rhymes": The pen fell and the wind and rain shook, and the poem made the gods cry.
Although exaggerated, there is no doubt that Du Fu spoke highly of his talent, even for modern poets. Yu Guangzhong, a poet, said: Seven parts of wine is moonlight, the other three parts are shock waves, and half of Tang embroidery is full.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the economy was prosperous and poetry developed rapidly. However, both "literati" and "soldiers" want to make contributions. Li Bai regards himself as an unrivaled talent and has the lofty ideal of "securing the country at last". He bravely went to the countryside and went to Beijing to ask for an official.
Li Bai prided himself on "serving the country with his sword", mainly practicing sword from the age of 15, and also worshiped Pei Min, the blade master. In addition to his dream of seeking an official position, Li Bai wanted to be a knight-errant along the way. So how high is his fencing?
Li Bai wrote in "The Chivalrous Man": Kill one person in ten steps, leaving a thousand miles behind. According to Zhou Xunchu, an expert on Li Bai, Li Bai really killed several people after he went to the countryside with his sword. He was really good at fencing and became a chivalrous man.
Legend has it that Jing Ke can achieve "five-step lore". Although I don't know whether it's true or not, Li Bai's good swordsmanship is probably on an equal footing with Jing Ke.
"Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates that the son of the criminal family, the industry and commerce do not anticipate, and clearly stipulates that the son of the sinner and the son of the businessman are strictly prohibited from participating in scientific research.
Although Li Bai was born well and his family was well-off, his father was a businessman and his ancestors were exiled to the Western Regions. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families had not completely declined, and they attached great importance to family status. Although Li Bai has money at home, he doesn't have any connections in his career.
Although the prime minister Xu married his granddaughter to Li Bai, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was a water mat and basically had no "good end". Xu's son was sentenced to hunting and shooting, but he remained silent, so he was demoted to Xiangzhou secretariat. His own situation is worrying, and it is even more impossible to use his contacts to help Li Bai.
Xu Shiyu married his granddaughter to Li Bai, and also took a fancy to his talent. Maybe one day, Li Bai will be an official in North Korea, and he will make a comeback.
Li Bai can't take part in the imperial examination, so he can only recommend himself. On the one hand, Li Bai wants to recommend himself as an official, on the other hand, he has a strong contempt for powerful people and doesn't want to flatter them. Li Bai, who is in his thirties, is still "mediocre", wandering around Chang 'an, giving up on himself, drinking all day and making friends with some street hooligans in Chang 'an.
His arrogant personality was also mentioned by Du Fu in Song of Drinking Eight Immortals: The Emperor called him not to board the boat and called himself Brewmaster.
However, some people don't like Li Bai, while others like Li Bai. Among the friends he made, He Zhangzhi has the highest status and status. He was the No.2 scholar of Wu Zetian in the year of Shengyuan (695) and was awarded Dr. Guo Zisi. Later, he served as assistant minister, secretary supervisor and prince guest.
After he knew Li Bai, He Zhangzhi called him a "fallen fairy" and invited him to drink, but he forgot to take the money and traded the scarab for the wine. In Li Bai's preface to wine, he gong, the guest of the prince, was called "fallen fairy" after seeing him in the purple pole palace in Chang' an, and enjoyed drinking because of solving scarabs.
Both of them have similar personalities and are quite open-minded. Li Bai himself is: Wu and Qiu, give them to the boys in exchange for good wine. Who will share your eternal sadness with you?
On the recommendation of He, Li Bai became an official in the DPRK and was well received by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Bai only wrote poems for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Yuhuan, and had no actual status. During this period, he also wrote a song that has been passed down through the ages: Clouds should be dressed in flowers and brushed over the threshold. If it weren't for Yushantou, they would meet Yaotai under the moon.
In the second year of Tianbao (743), 43-year-old Li Bai became more and more tired of the life of emperors and literati. So, he indulged in drinking and singing, demanding immortality. Even in the imperial court, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty began to alienate him, and Li Bai began to travel around. Later, I met Du Fu and Gao Shi who were 65,438+065,438+0 years younger than him. The three of them are ambitious and have the same interests.
However, three people together for several months, finally separated. Li Bai went to a Taoist teacher to create a true scripture (Taoist secret text), and then boarded the Purple Pole Palace, where Gao taught him Taoism. Li Bai became a real Taoist, and then traveled to famous mountains.
One day, Li Bai came to Qinglinkou, Sichuan. At this point, he has become famous all over the world. Just like a star outing, Li Bai has also received great attention. This is a local blacksmith who specially invited Li Bai over and took out a lot of wine to let Li Bai write couplets for him.
Li Baiben was a heavy drinker and agreed to come down. As a "Brewmaster", it is difficult for Li Bai to write an article without wine. Li Bai began to drink before he began to write couplets. After a few bowls of wine, Li Bai's literary thoughts came to life. He wrote the first couplet: Qinglinkou, White Blacksmith, Fighting Red Stove, Burning Black Charcoal, Fighting South and Fighting North.
After writing the first part, he continued to drink. Li Bai didn't expect that the wine he brewed was very high, and he soon got drunk. The blacksmith put away the first part and helped Li Bai back to his room to rest. After Li Bai woke up, he made the second film.
As soon as Li Bai woke up, the blacksmith went to ask for a couplet. Li Bai can drink other people's wine if he wants. It's not good to write only half of it, but he was puzzled when he saw the first couplet. He struggled for several days and didn't come up with the next couplet he wanted.
This couplet seems simple, but it contains a lot of artistic conception. The first is the four colors of "blue, white, red and black". These four colors also correspond to four different things, east, west, north and south. There are "golden wood fire, water and earth" in the five elements. Li Bai can't write couplets, so he can only give up.
But after the blacksmith hung up the first one, business was good. Many people heard that there was a picture of "Eternal Absolute" and came to the blacksmith's shop to make the second part, but they were all disappointed.
This picture has been handed down for thousands of years, and no one can compare it. I don't know when Li Bai can compare it.
