This photo is a photo of Li Bai enshrined by Tang Hanlin:

Li Bai, also known as Qinglian Jushi, was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was hailed as the "Immortal of Poetry" by later generations. Du Fu is collectively known as "Li Du". In order to distinguish him from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, who are known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also collectively known as "Big Li Du".

According to the "New Book of Tang", Li Bai was the ninth grandson of Emperor Xingsheng (Liang Wuzhao King Li Hao) and the same clan as the kings of Li and Tang Dynasties. He is a cheerful and generous person who loves drinking, writing poetry, and making friends.

Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao Liezhuang's thoughts. There is "The Collection of Li Taibai" handed down to the world. Most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include "Wang Lushan Waterfall", "The Road is Difficult" and "The Road to Shu is Difficult". "About to Enter the Wine", "Liang Fu Yin", "Early Departure from Baidi City" and many other songs.

The Song Dynasty people have biographies of Li Bai's poems and poems (such as the first volume of Wen Ying's "Xiangshan Wild Records"). In terms of its pioneering significance and artistic achievements, "Li Bai's Ci" enjoys an extremely high status.

Li Bai's attitude towards life:

He despised the feudal hierarchy, was unwilling to flatter people, and disdained to live up to the world. The darkness of reality disillusioned him, and the shackles of the feudal ethical hierarchy suffocated him. He longed for the freedom and liberation of his personality, so he adopted a wild and uninhibited attitude towards life to break free from the shackles and strive for freedom.

The way of expression is to drink and sing wildly, to seek immortals and learn Taoism. However, wine cannot relieve sorrow, and the immortals feel more illusory, so they praise the beautiful nature as the sustenance of ideals and the embodiment of freedom.

The Emei, Huashan, Lushan, Taishan, Huangshan and other places in his works are majestic and majestic, absorbing the wind and clouds and flowing down rivers; the surging Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River in his works cleanse all things and sweep everything, expressing It reflects the poet's rebellious character and strong desire to break through the fetters.

Since the outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion", his patriotic enthusiasm has been further sublimated, and he has got rid of the contradiction of hiding the source. His rebellious character and rebellious spirit have profound patriotic connotations and are full of social significance and characteristics of the times. Chapters 3, 15, 24, and 39 of "Ancient Style" all make profound revelations and powerful criticisms of social reality.

Li Bai has both a noble and arrogant side as well as a secular side. His ideals and freedom can only be sought in mountains, forests, fairyland, and drunken countryside. Poems such as "Song of Xiangyang" reveal the thoughts of life being like a dream, carpe diem, and escaping from reality, which are also representative among the upright and aloof literati in feudal society.
