Du Li met.
In the summer of the third year of Tianbao (in 744, it was called "load" instead of "year" and "load" instead of "year" during the third to fifteenth years of Tianbao), Li Bai went to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Here, he met Du Fu. The two greatest poets in the history of China literature met. At this time, Li Bai was famous all over the country, while Du Fu was in his prime, but he stayed in Los Angeles. Li Bai is eleven years older than Du Fu, but he is not arrogant in front of Du Fu with his talent. And Du Fu, an "old friend" who is "high in sex and heavy in alcohol", did not bow his head to praise Li Bai. The two men established a profound friendship on an equal footing. When they were in Luoyang, they made an appointment to meet each other in Liang and Song Dynasties (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu) to visit Taoism and seek immortality. In the autumn of the same year, they arrived in Liang and Song Dynasties as promised. Here, two people express their feelings through the past and discuss the present. They also met the poet Gao Shi here, who has not yet taken office. However, each of them has the same ambition and ideal. The three of them had a good time swimming, commenting on literary criticism and poetry, and talking about the general trend of the world. They were all worried about the hidden dangers of the country. At this time, Du Li was in the prime of life, and this exchange of ideas in their creation had a positive impact on them in the future.
This autumn and winter, Du Li broke up again. Li Bai came to the palace (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and invited Taoist Gao to give a sermon [7][8]. Since then, he has officially performed Taoist rituals and become a Taoist priest. Later, Li Bai went to Anling County, Dezhou, where he met Gaihuan, who was good at writing runes, and made a real rune for him. Li Bai got a satisfactory result in this immortal visit.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Li Bai and Du Fu met for the third time at the east foot. In just over a year, the two met twice and three times, and their friendship deepened. They went to Jeju to visit Li Yong, a world-famous essayist and calligrapher at that time. Just this winter, Du Li broke up with her.
