First, before leaving Shu (70 1-725)
Li Bai was born in Haoshang and grew up in Qinglian Township, Zhangming County, near Jiangyou, Sichuan. After the tour, they all went out of the gorge with Emei. The following Interview with Dai Tianshan shows that he has long been branded as a Taoist.
Second, swim eastward along the Yangtze River until you leave Anlu (725-735).
Li Bai went out to Shu at the age of twenty-five to visit Taoism, make friends and visit mountains and rivers. "History of Shang 'an Peichang" said: "I think that a gentleman will be like a mulberry bow and arrow all his life, shooting at his husband everywhere, so I know that a gentleman must have good thoughts and great ambitions." He left the Three Gorges eastbound, passed Jingmen and Jiangxia, and went to Xunyang to climb Lushan Mountain. Traveling to Jinling and Yangzhou, wandering between Wu and Hui; Back to the boat, from Jiangxia to Hanshui, through Xiangfan, to your vicinity, during which I met Meng Haoran; From Linru to Anlu (AD 727), I married my granddaughter and started the life of "drinking in Anlu for ten years". In the autumn of the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (AD 735), I visited Taiyuan Temple at the invitation of my friend Yuan. Shortly after returning to Anlu in the following spring, he moved to Donglu. The following "Jiangxia Tour" expresses his sympathy for businessmen's wives and other civilians; The book Sleeping in Huainan can find the root of his strategists' thoughts.
3. From East Road to Nanling and then to Chang 'an (736-742)
Li Bai moved from Anlu to Shandong and settled in Rencheng. He also lived in seclusion in Culai Mountain, and from time to time drank with five people, including Kong Chao's father, who was called Zhuxi Liu Yi. In the meantime, I went back to Han and Xiang once each, traveled north and Wan, and soon returned to East Road, and went south to wuyue to meet the Taoist priest of Wujun. In the first year of Tianbao (AD 742), I was called to Chang 'an in Nanling. The next excerpt from "Going East in May, Answering Wen Shang Weng" shows that he is confident to enter the official position from the right path; "Nanling Children Don't Go to Beijing" more vividly shows his arrogance when he was called to Beijing, and also reflects his enthusiasm for fame and fortune.
Fourth, in Chang 'an (742-744).
Li Bai went to Chang 'an with Taoist Wu Yun, and was personally summoned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty on the recommendation of the princess and some other people. As a sacrifice, he was presented to the Hanlin, with no official position. He pretends to be a scholar in Wang Zuo, but Xuanzong regards him as a literary attendant and is often called to do some so-called "due work". It seems that he was not satisfied with this experience, plus he indulged in drinking and was arrogant, which inevitably offended some villains, such as Gao Lishi, and was finally exiled to Beijing. Spring breeze is just a flash in the pan. Unfortunately, Chang 'an is the political center of the country. He opened his eyes here, increased his knowledge, and had a perceptual understanding of the declining politics at that time. He collected a lot of poetry materials and enriched the content of his works. The following "Twenty-four Ancient Styles"-"Car Flying Dust" openly mocked current politics; Song of the Horse is a metaphor for a horse, lamenting that a wise master has never met before. And "looking at Nanshan to send a hermit a song" shows that Chang 'an's ten-foot world of mortals failed to make him give up his yearning for immortals.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) leaves Chang 'an for Yelang (745-757).
After Li Bai left Chang 'an, he moved north and south. He lived in seclusion between Song Liang and Qilu, and traveled back and forth between Huiji, Jinling and Yicheng many times. What is worthy of a great book is that in this early period, he forged an immortal friendship with Du Fu, climbed mountains with poets and great calligraphers such as Gao Shi and Li Yi, and returned poems and wine. An Shi Rebellion, he is in Xuancheng. Later, he moved to Liyang and Zhongshan. In the 15th year of Tianbao (AD 756), he took refuge in Lushan Screen, met Wang Yong of Xunyang, and invited him to join the shogunate. The following year, in the second year of Zhide (AD 757), Wang Yong defied the imperial edict of Su Zong and defeated Danyang. He was dragged down to Xunyang prison and sentenced to leave his wife at the age of 57, and went through the sinister wind and waves of the Three Gorges in Dongting alone and embarked on a long road of life and death. At this stage, Li Bai has the richest life experience and the most poems handed down. The following excerpts from "Into the Wine" and "Seeing the Rhododendron in Xuancheng" reflect his concern and dissatisfaction with state affairs, his chagrin that he failed to make progress twice, and his glimpse of his family, friends, landscapes and immortals.
Six, Wushan met with forgiveness and died (758-762)
Li Bai wandered for a long time, arrived in Wushan, met Xie Dong, and then came back. After a short stay in Jiangxia, Baling, Hengyang and Lingling, I returned to Xunyang. Later, I revisited Jinling and traveled to Xuancheng and Liyang. One year before his death, Li Guangbi of Dongzhen Town was allowed to resist Shi Chaoyi. He wanted to serve his country when he heard the news. Unfortunately, he turned back because of illness. In the first year of Baoying (AD 762), Li died in Dangtu at the age of 62. At this stage, Li Bai gradually entered the bleak old disease. However, his poetry and wine are as good as they were then. The following song "Don't Pine Branches in Jiangxia" reflects Li Bai's helplessness to the country in his later years. (The picture on the right shows Li Bai's handwriting. Looking at Li Bai's life and handed down works, we can see that the mainstream of his thoughts is Taoism and strategists, and he is also influenced by Confucianism. He worships Fu Shuo, Lu Shang, Fan Li, Lu Lian, Sean, Xie An and other so-called "national prosperity and security" big shots, as well as Zhuan Xu, Hou Ying, Jing Ke and other assassins and rangers. He had the ambition to help the poor, but he didn't try. Of course, objective social conditions limited him, as did his own subjective personality and feelings. There is no doubt that he loves the people of this country and hates evil and treachery.
