Bai Yisheng was not valued by the imperial court and failed to realize his great ambition.
A strong desire for fame and fortune
Li Bai was ambitious and conceited when he was young, and was deeply influenced by Taoist thought. His heart is full of romantic fantasies and grand ambitions. "An Bang helps the poor" is his greatest ideal. Dapeng is his totem. "Dapeng rises with the wind and soars in Wan Li." ("Li Shangyong") Even in his masterpiece "The Last Song", I have not forgotten-"Big Pengfei shakes for eight generations, and the sky is weak." Dapeng is the divine bird in Zhuangzi Xiaoyao.
He wants to "talk about management and management, and seek the skills of the emperor." Inspire their wisdom and be willing to help them, so that the Atlas area will be solved and Hai Xian County will be clear. It is not difficult to work with Tao Zhu and Liu Hou, float in the five lakes and play in Cangzhou. "(Dai Shoushan answers Meng Shaofu's command text) It can be seen that his highest ideal is to become a" master of clothes "or a" royal teacher ",to become a figure like Guan Zhong and Yan Ying, to do something earth-shattering, and then to retire.
(2) Ask the court for recommendation.
Since Li Bai has such ambitions and lofty ambitions, why not take part in scientific research? Because only by taking the imperial examination can Jinshi enter the highest ruling class. Mr. Huang Yufeng, the host of Cultural China, explained the reasons why Li Bai didn't take the imperial examination, "can't" and "dare not".
First, you can't take the exam. Li Bai has no household registration, and his father fled to his hometown to hide in a remote mountainous area. After Li Bai was 25 years old, he traveled around and never went back until his death. Of course, he can't take the exam. Besides, his father was a businessman, and the descendants of businessmen were not allowed to take the exam at that time.
Second, I dare not take the exam. This is Mr Huang Yufeng's guess. Although Li Bai is brilliant and brilliant, he has no orthodox Confucian education. Just like the exam-oriented education now, it is difficult to pass the exam without "formal training". Du Fu failed the exam three times in his life, which is the best example. What's more, it can be seen from Du Li's works that Du Fu is far more familiar with Confucian classics than Li Bai, and Li Bai will not be luckier than Du Fu in taking the exam. Li Bai is a very proud person, of course, not so ugly.
So, he had to choose to ask someone to recommend this road. There are many letters of recommendation in The Complete Works of Li Taibai. They flaunted themselves first, then touted each other, and finally entered Beijing as they wished.
(3) Character determines fate.
It is said that Li Bai was not recommended by one person. Some people say it's Taoist Wu Yun, some people say it's He, and some people say it's a princess (sister of Tang Xuanzong). However, no matter who recommended it, Li Bai's yearning wish finally came true, so "I am not human when I go out and laugh." ("Nanling children do not go to Beijing")
Li Bai was finally summoned by Xuanzong and was canonized as an academician. He wrote a lot of court poems in the palace, the most famous of which is Qingpingdiao, "The clouds want clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold to reveal wealth." "Excuse me, who looks like Han Palace? Poor Yan Fei leans on her new makeup. " "It shows that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion leans on the pole in the north."
Du Fu also praised "100 poems of Li Bai's fighting for wine, sleeping in Chang 'an Restaurant" in "Drinking Songs of the Eight Immortals". But Li Bai is a scattered fairy and doesn't want to be bound by any restrictions. He is "the son of heaven called instead of boarding, calling himself Brewmaster. "Often drunk, let Gao Lishi take off his boots, let Yang grinding boots, vomit in a big mess. The most terrible thing is that he wrote an affair between Yang Guifei and An Lushan in his poem, "Haiyan returned to Qin Gong, and the two entered the curtain, missing the dream of lovesickness and dreaming of Liaodong. "Palace no small matter, which is not bad?
Xuanzong was an extremely clever and wise master. He separates study from politics and is very opinionated, so he won't listen to those so-called slanders. He doesn't like Li Bai, so he will return the money.
Look at Li Bai's flamboyant personality, which is not allowed in officialdom at all. He is arrogant, free, careless and neglects his relationship with others. His exile is inevitable. In addition, if Li Bai can adapt to this lifeless court that restricts freedom, Li Bai can't be called Li Bai, and there will be no such thing as "What's the good thing, you will leave when you die, which will be famous for thousands of years", and we won't read his poems that have been high-spirited and radiant for thousands of years.
