As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron bar is ground into a needle (1)
/kloc-at the age of 0/0, Li Bai began to learn ci fu, and his creation was very serious, meticulous and meticulous. When he was a teenager, he wanted to study in Xianger Mountain in Meizhou. Once when he came back from playing truant, he passed by a stream and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle (a tool for grinding rice) by the stream. Li Bai asked her what she was grinding it for, and she replied, "Grinding it into needles." Li Bai thinks that if I have this spirit, there is no problem to surpass Sima Xiangru.
According to this wish, Li Bai studied hard and practiced basic skills. One day, after several revisions, he wrote a poem and gave it to his father excitedly. He thinks that he will be praised by his father for his good writing. Unexpectedly, my father was very dissatisfied after reading it and said to him, "Your prose is too bad, neither imposing nor literary." But don't lose heart, you should continue to work hard. "
Li Bai nodded: "Do as my father says." Back in the study, he threw the manuscript into the stove and burned it. Then re-conceive, re-create, and draft three times in a row. None of them were satisfied, so they had to burn them. It was not until the fourth time that two satisfactory articles were written, namely Zhunbei Fu and Zhunbei Fu. Later, Zhubie Fu was lost, and Zhuai Fu was still preserved in Li Taibai Ji compiled by Song Dynasty.
Travel away from home (2)
At the age of twenty-five, Li Bai has become a versatile person. He is not only good at poetry and prose, but also good at fencing and horseback riding. He also likes playing the piano and singing. Determined to do a vigorous career for the country, he said to his father, "My son is leaving home and going outside to learn more." "I'd better study at home and have a chance to find something to do. Why do you have to go out far from home? " Father said. Li Bai said with great pride: "A gentleman lives in the world, aims in all directions, and the world is in his heart. I'm afraid I can't use my talents at home. After going out, you can travel around and make celebrities; Secondly, you can also find opportunities to assist the emperor. "
Hearing this, the father smiled cheerfully and said, "Well, since you have such ambitions, go out and break in!" " "
A few days later, Li Bai said goodbye to his parents, put on his sword and set off. Take a boat down the Yangtze River. When crossing the Three Gorges, the river is fast and the boat is like an arrow. Li Bai stood at the bow and looked at the green hills on both sides. He was very excited. Later, he wrote several poems describing the scenery of the Three Gorges. There is a song:
Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away. The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
On the way of roaming, Li Bai also climbed Lushan Mountain, saw the waterfall, wrote two poems and saw the Lushan Waterfall. One of them is:
The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain. On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.
How magnificent the mountains and rivers of the motherland in Li Bai's poems are! His poems are natural, fluent and unpretentious, and worthy of being written by a great poet.
Heaven sent immortal (3)
Li Bai traveled to some places in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, met many celebrities and wrote many touching poems. At the age of thirty, he went to the capital Chang 'an.
Chang 'an was the political and cultural center at that time, which was very prosperous. Li Bai visited some high-ranking officials and celebrities in Chang 'an, hoping that through their recommendation, he could be reused by the imperial court. But he was given the cold shoulder and was not appointed. Li Bai's talent was not displayed, and his heart was very depressed.
One day, Li Bai and a friend went to the Purple Pole Palace. Just entering the door, I met an old man with a white beard. My friend quickly introduced Li Bai, saying that this is He, a famous poet and calligrapher, the teacher of today's prince.
"The epigenetic Li Bai, I've heard a lot about you and admire you very much!" Li Bai said excitedly.
He has also heard of Li Bai's poems, and now he is very happy to see the extraordinary appearance of this young man. He took Li Bai to a restaurant and wanted to talk to him about drinking, but when he paid for the drinks, he found that he didn't have any money with him.
So He Zhangzhi untied the scarab from his belt and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Just change one."
"He Lao, this is the royal family according to the rank size to decorations. How can I change wine? " Li Bai was discouraged.
He Zhangzhi laughed heartily and said, "What's the harm! I forgot to bring money and no wine today. How can I talk well? "
Li Bai didn't bring any money when he touched his body, but it was nice. After three glasses of wine. He asked Zhang Zhi, "Taibaijun, I don't know any poems recently. Can I have a look? "
Li Bai took out a volume of poetry from his pocket and said, "This is my latest poem. Please give me more advice. "
He opened the manuscript of the poem and recited, "It is difficult to travel in Sichuan." He kept nodding as he read. After reading the article, he gave a thumbs up excitedly and praised: "This poem is magnificent and really earth-shattering."
At this time, my friend said to Li Bai, "Read your Wu Qiqu to He Lao, too." "Read it to me quickly." He Zhangzhi busy advised. Li Bai stood up and recited leisurely.
At sunset, the outline of Wu Palace and the beauty of the palace on Suzhou platform are hazy. Rouwu, Zhu Tuo and Wu Wang were still enjoying the excitement, but suddenly they found that the mountain peak in the west had swallowed up half of the red sun, and dusk was coming. The pleasure of the king of Wu and his attendants gradually came to an end. The east is getting higher and higher.
Li Bai read the complete poem, and He Zhangzhi said with tears: "This poem is so sad that ghosts and gods will cry when they hear it!"
He studied Li Bai carefully and suddenly said, "You must be an immortal (meaning a fairy who was punished and descended to earth), otherwise how could you write such a touching poem?"
"Deceased Immortal" is He's extremely high evaluation of Li Bai. After reading Li Bai's poems, people feel that this kind of praise is very accurate. Many people call Li Bai "Li Chenxian".
Drafting Answer to Shu Fan (4)
Li Bai's fame grew bigger and bigger, and finally even Tang Xuanzong knew it. At the age of 42, the court issued three imperial edicts calling him to Chang 'an. After Li Bai arrived in Chang 'an, accompanied by He, he went to see Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty asked Li Bai to sit beside him and asked him about his poetry writing and the important events of the imperial court. Li Bai always answers questions. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty saw that Li Bai was knowledgeable and versatile, he repeatedly praised him. Suddenly, has been beside the eunuch Gao Lishi opened the cavity:
"Your majesty, Li Taibai is really talented. The credentials sent by the envoy of Tubo (an ancient minority in China) the day before yesterday, it is better to ask him to identify them. "
When he heard this, he secretly held the staff for Li Bai, thinking that the words in Tibetan credentials were like birds singing and flowers smelling, insects crawling, and no one in the court could recognize them. Tang Xuanzong has been very angry about this matter. Gao Lishi, isn't it obvious to make things difficult for Li Bai?
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty immediately asked Li Bai if he knew Tibetan, and Li Bai unhurriedly replied:
"When I was in the Western Regions, my father did business and had some contacts with businessmen in the Western Regions, so I knew a little."
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty smiled and immediately asked Gao Lishi to bring the Tibetan credentials. Li Bai took it and read it quickly, then translated it fluently in Chinese. It turned out that Tubo wanted the Tang Dynasty to cede a large area of land to it, or he would send troops to attack.
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty put a straight face. The minister of civil and military affairs talked in succession and lost his mind for a while. Tang Xuanzong asked Li Bai what to do. Li Bai said confidently:
"I'm willing to draft an Answer to the Tubo Book, and I'll call the Tubo emissary tomorrow. I'll answer it myself, which will definitely calm this matter down."
"Then you can draft it right away!" Tang Xuanzong said.
Li Bai picked up a pen, thought for a moment and then wrote. In a short time, I gave Ansan Shu Fan to Tang Xuanzong. After reading it, Tang Xuanzong was very satisfied. Li Bai wrote another copy in Tibetan. Everyone admires Li Bai's erudition.
The next day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoned the Tibetan emissary. Li Bai first read Answering a Mystery Book in Chinese, and then read Tubo. The Tubo emissary quickly promised to bring the Tubo answer to the Tubo leader. Later, Tubo didn't come to trouble.
Contempt for dignitaries as their agents (5)
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty requested that Li Bai be canonized as an academician. He is an official with little real power. Therefore, Li Bai's ideal of assisting the emperor to govern the country still cannot be realized.
At that time, the imperial power was in the hands of Prime Minister Li and eunuch Gao Lishi. Some people who want to be promoted and get rich are trying to curry favor with them in different ways. Li Bai really despised them.
On this day, Li Bai was bored and came to the restaurant to drink. He was as drunk as a fiddler. Suddenly, Li Guinian, the manager of Gongliyuan (the captain of the chorus), came in and said:
"Li, the emperor asked you to enter the palace at once!"
It turned out that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei were watching peony flowers in Chenxiang Temple in the palace, and Li Guinian led a group of children to sing in the pear garden. They sang old songs, and Tang Xuanzong was tired of listening to them. He remembered that Li Bai could write poems and sent someone to ask him to write new words. Hearing this, the li bai casually said:
"A few lyrics! Come, have a few drinks before you go! "
"No, no! The emperor and the imperial concubine have been waiting for a long time! " Li Guinian flushed with anxiety.
"The emperor? I'm ... I'm Li Bai and Brewmaster. I ... I haven't had enough wine! Ha ha ha ... "Li Baixiao said.
Li Guinian saw that Li Bai was drunk, so he jumped in and ordered the people who came with him to help Li Bai up and go out. When I came to Chenxiang Temple, Li Baijiu was still awake. Tang Xuanzong didn't blame Li Bai when he saw this. People gave Li Bai a hangover soup and helped him to lie in bed.
It is said that at this time, Li Bai has woken up. See Gao Lishi around, think of his usual domineering, going to kill him down a peg or two.
"Take off your boots!" Li Bai pretended to be drunk and suddenly put his foot in Gao Lishi.
Hearing this, Gao Lishi almost cocked his nose and was about to get angry. Seeing the emperor winking at himself again and again, he had to submit to humiliation and take off his boots for Li Bai.
After a while, Li Bai got up and bowed to Tang Xuanzong. Tang Xuanzong was not angry, but asked Li Bai to write down the new lyrics of "Three Chapters of Qingpingdiao" immediately.
Li Bai thought for a while and soon wrote it. Li Guinian put on the music and began to sing. Tang Xuanzong personally played the flute to accompany him. Yang Guifei was intoxicated by melodious music and was very happy. Since then, Tang Xuanzong paid more attention to Li Bai.
However, a group of powerful people hate Li Bai. They deliberately slandered Li Bai. Gao Lishi also persuaded Yang Guifei to speak ill of Li Bai in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. After listening to their words, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gradually alienated Li Bai.
Seeing the decline of the imperial court, Li Bai didn't want to stay here any longer, so he wrote a letter asking to resign from the position enshrined by the Hanlin. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty immediately approved it. Li Bai, wearing a brocade robe and riding a horse with five flowers, sang loudly for a while and laughed heartily for a while, and went out of the gate of Chang 'an.
Later, Li Bai wrote in many poems that he would rather live in poverty than curry favor with the powerful. For example, "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking and high-ranking people whose sincere faces will never be seen!" "
