The story of when, where and what poem Li Bai wrote is as follows:
1. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai traveled to Mount Lu. He was shocked by the magnificent scenery of Lushan Mountain, especially the moment he climbed to Xianglu Peak and looked at the waterfall Guaqianchuan in the distance. The waterfalls in Lushan Mountain are extremely magnificent. The water flows down three thousand feet, like the Milky Way falling from the sky. In front of this magnificent natural scenery, Li Bai became very popular in poetry. He chanted: The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance. The flying stream plummeted down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the sky. This poem later became the most famous song of all time, "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall".
2. Once, Li Bai drank freely in a wine shop in Chang'an City. He was drunk with wine, and poetic and picturesque thoughts came to his mind. He picked up the brush, swiped it freely on the wall, and wrote the popular song "The Wine Will Come in". I don’t see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return. Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening. This poem is full of Li Bai's bold personality and love for life, and also expresses his infinite expectations for the future. The wine shop in Chang'an City later became famous because of this poem.
