Poetry Immortal Li Bai not only wrote good poems, but was also an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, especially his swordsmanship. In addition, he was born with a chivalrous temperament, and Li Bai had a certain status in the world. In the Tang Dynasty, there were three masterpieces: Li Bai's poetry, Pei Min's swordsmanship and Zhang Xu's cursive script. The sword god here, Pei Min, was Li Bai's swordsman. Historical records record that Li Bai learned swordsmanship at the age of 15 and mastered it on his own. This shows how talented he was and that he could master it without a teacher.
When he was a boy, Li Bai could be said to have never left his body with a sword. Li Bai had a kind of knight-errant temperament, good at maneuvering and arrogant, and put wealth over money. In today's terms, he was a standard old cannon. There is another point that can prove that Li Bai has special skills and strong martial arts. Li Bai began to travel around the world's famous mountains and rivers when he was in his 20s. In that era, if you wanted to travel around the mountains and rivers, you would not be able to go far without taking a few steps. The security conditions at that time were incomparable with today. If you encounter bad people without taking a few steps to deal with them, you will not be able to get far. The amount of money in his wallet and even his life are long gone. But Li Bai traveled safely for so many years, which shows that his martial arts is close to him.
In Li Bai's time, there was a strong martial atmosphere in society. Literati may not necessarily go into battle to kill the enemy, but they are by no means helpless. In addition, Li Bai was born in the Western Regions, which shows that he has some martial arts skills. Swords appear 107 times in his poems, and it can be inferred that Li Bai was proficient in swordsmanship. Although Li Bai had never been on the battlefield in his life, he had stayed in the military camp. At the age of 52, he even went to work as an aide in the military camp of King Yong.
Art comes from life. Many of Li Bai's poems depict ancient martial arts masters, such as the most famous one: Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles. Laughing down a glass of wine, killing people in the city. Without a certain amount of martial arts experience or accumulation of martial arts life, it is impossible to write such a sentence. Historical records record that Li Bai was a young knight who could kill many people with his sword. In other words, he took a sword and killed many people at once. In a head-on fight, even if a scholar killed one person, he would be so scared that he wet his pants, let alone kill several people. There is no problem with Li Bai’s bravery.
