Li Bai, a great romantic poet in China in Tang Dynasty, was honored as "Poet Fairy" by later generations, and was also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. His life was bumpy, and he expressed the spirit of pursuing freedom and facing the future actively in his poems.
Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical, with bold and unrestrained style, fresh and elegant, natural and fluent language and harmonious melody, which constitute its unique magnificent and gorgeous colors. Apart from Qu Yuan, he is the most outstanding poet in China. A large number of his poems not only reflect the prosperity of that era, but also expose and criticize the corruption of the ruling group, showing contempt for power, and some poems express inner bitterness. There are nearly a thousand poems, among which Li Taibai Ji is also a representative figure of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
When Li Bai was in his prime (AD 726), he left Zhou Shu, Tianfu, to Dongting Lake in the south and Yuezhou (now Shaoxing) in the east, and lived in Anlu Yingshan. Until his later years (AD 742), due to the recommendation of Wu Yun, a chastity Taoist, Li Bai was called to visit the Hanlin in Chang 'an. However, because he could not adapt to the officialdom environment, he stayed in Beijing for only two and a half years, and was recommended by Taoist Ru Gui to the Taoist temple in Jinan, Shandong Province, and began to travel around.

young and promising
When Li Bai was a teenager, he dabbled extensively. In addition to Confucian classics and ancient literary and historical masterpieces, he also read hundreds of books and became an excellent swordsman (Hanshu Jingzhou). He believed in Taoism, which was popular at that time, and liked to live in seclusion in the mountains and seek immortality to learn Taoism. At the same time, he has the political ambition to make contributions, claiming that "Yan Guan's theory should be applied to seek the skills of emperors and their intelligence, and he is willing to assist him to make the Atlas area large and make Hai Xian County quiet" ("A Biography of Meng Shaofu by Dai Shoushan"). On the one hand, you have to be a hermit immortal, and on the other hand, you have to be an assistant to the monarch, which has formed the contradiction of being born into the world. However, actively joining the WTO and worrying about the country and the people are the mainstream of his life thoughts and the ideological basis for the progress of his works. Poems written by Li Bai in Shu during his youth are rarely preserved, but articles such as Wandering Taoist and Yuege on Mount Emei show outstanding talents.
Farewell to relatives and travel far.
In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (A.D. 725), Li Bai went to Shu to "serve the country with one sword, leaving his relatives behind for a long journey". He sailed out of the gorge and drifted along the river, and the mountains in his hometown gradually disappeared beyond recognition. Only the water from the Three Gorges still followed him, pushing his boat and sending him to a strange and distant city.

What Li Bai didn't expect was an extraordinary meeting in Jiangling, where he met Sima Cheng, a Taoist revered by san huang the Great. Tiantai Taoist Sima Chengzhen not only learned a whole set of Taoist spells, but also wrote a good seal script. His poems are elegant as a fairy. Xuanzong respected him very much, and once called him to the inner hall for advice. He also built a balcony landscape for him and sent his sister Princess Yu Zhen to study Taoism with him. Li Bai was naturally very happy to see the favored Taoist priest, and sent his own poems for his review. Li Baiqi is magnificent and has extraordinary qualifications. Sima Chengzhen appreciated it at first sight, but he was even more amazed after reading his poems, saying that he was "like a saint, but he could wander at will." . Because he saw that Li Bai was not only outstanding in appearance, but also brilliant in talent, he did not attract the attention of contemporary Rong Lu officials, which he had never met in the opposition for decades, so he praised him with the highest praise from Taoism. In other words, he has a "immortal root", that is, he was born immortal, which is similar to what He Zhang later praised him as "an immortal", and everyone regarded him as an extraordinary person. This is the overall impression of Li Bai's demeanor and poetic style.
Li Bai rejoiced at Sima Cheng's high praise. He is determined to pursue such an eternal and immortal world as "wandering octupole". Excited, he wrote a great poem "Dapeng meets a bird", taking Dapeng as a metaphor and boasting about its great speed. This is Li Bai's earliest masterpiece. From Jiangling, he started his flight thousands of miles away.
Li Bai went south from Jiangling, passed Yueyang, and then went south to reach one of the destinations of this trip. However, while boating in Dongting Lake, an unfortunate thing happened. Li Bai's traveling companion Wu Guide, from Sichuan, died of sudden illness (or was beaten to death). Li Bai is very sad. He fell down beside his friend and shouted, "Blood is behind the tears". Because he cried so much, passers-by cried for it. It was too white to bear to encounter such a change during the trip, so I had to bury Wu Guide in Dongting Lake for the time being, and continued to travel eastward by myself, determined to carry my friend's bones again after the trip to the southeast. Li Bai came to Lushan Mountain and wrote the famous "Looking at Lushan Waterfall".
Li Bai went to Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. This place is magnificent, surrounded by dragons and tigers, and the palaces of the Six Dynasties are vividly visible. This not only aroused many feelings of Li Bai, but also aroused his pride in his time. He believes that the old capital has been in a state of decline, and there is nothing to see, which is not as good as the peaceful scene presented by the emperor today. Although the domineering spirit of Jinling has disappeared, the children of Jinling have received Li Bai with deep affection. When Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, Wu Ji suppressed the wine, and Jinling's sons and daughters sent them to each other diligently, frequently raising glasses to persuade them to drink. The feeling of farewell flows through people's hearts like a flowing river, which is unforgettable. After bidding farewell to Jinling, Li Bai will go to Yuezhou (Shaoxing). But I fell ill in Huainan. Being in a foreign country, he has a lot of thoughts. He lamented that he had little hope of making achievements and missed his hometown deeply. The only thing that can bring him some comfort is a letter from a distant friend.
After getting sick in Huainan, Li Bai rushed to the bustling Huiji (Shaoxing). Yuezhou's landscape is the best in the world, which makes Li Bai linger, especially Huiji Mountain, Jinghu Lake, Tianmu Mountain, Lanting and Dongshan. Li Bai and He forgot to make friends in the New Year. They should imitate Xie An's achievements. They are more envious of the romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties. They asked how to find immortals in Yuezhou. He was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of Shaoxing and left nearly 100 poems. Li Bai returned to Jingmen from Huiji. As soon as he stayed in Jingmen,
