Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, was born in 70 1 year in the western region (now Kyrgyzstan, the capital of Anxi, established in the Tang Dynasty). At the age of five, he moved with his father to Changlong County (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province) in Mianzhou, central Sichuan. When he was a teenager, he was ambitious, interested in learning and dabbled in a wide range: a young writer who read hundreds of books at the age of ten, read strange books at the age of fifteen and wrote exquisite works; Young Rangers and Feathers with "Fifteen Immortals" and "Fifteen Good Sword Techniques". After the age of 20, he began to roam the land of Shu, seeking immortals to visit Taoism. On the one hand, I want to be a monarch's assistant, on the other hand, I want to be an extraordinary fairy. On the one hand, I look forward to the unusual use of the ruler, on the other hand, I disdain to take the imperial examination and try to cultivate my reputation through poetry and prose, "making a blockbuster and soaring"; On the one hand, it advocates "being kind to the world", "helping the world for the people", "making peace with the country" and "making peace with Li Yuan"; On the other hand, we should learn from Zhuangzi's independent legacy, pursue absolute freedom, despise everything in the world, despise Yao and Shun, laugh at Kong Qiu, and be a vassal of peace. But the core of his thought is to be an outstanding political figure like Guan Zhong and Yan Ying, to assist the emperor, and to make the country strong and the society stable. However, his desire to be an official ended in vain because of alcoholism and unrestrained behavior. In the end, he embarked on an incompatible combination of Confucianism, Taoism and chivalry, wandering around the world, always living and surviving in pursuit, contradiction, conflict, resentment, wildness and pleasure, and becoming a "poetic fairy" with poverty and illness.
No matter how to evaluate Li Bai's thought and personality, Li Bai is indeed a talented poet who can speak eloquently. "He was shocked by the wind and rain, and his poems burst into tears." He wrote many brilliant poems eulogizing the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, and expressed his personality and ideal of loving freedom and pursuing liberation in his poems with magical artistic language.
When did Li Bai come to Qiupu and how many times did he roam in his life? At present, we can only make a more accurate summary based on the authoritative works of experts and scholars such as Li Bai's poems included in Complete Tang Poetry, Li Bai's Chronicle by Wang Qi in Qing Dynasty, Li Bai's Poem Series by Zhan Ying, Selected Poems of Li Bai by Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House and Fudan University Publishing House.
Li Bai's first visit to Qiupu may be the eighth year of Tianbao (749). Because Li Bai, who died for the Hanlin in Tianbao for three years, was slandered by Gao Lishi, Yang Yuhuan and Zhang Ai as "Zhao Xu Haishan, return the gold." He left Beijing in March of that year and traveled to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces for five years. In the spring of the eighth year of Tianbao, I passed Dangtu from Jinling.
