Li Bai (701-762), courtesy name Taibai and Qinglian Jushi, was born in Chengji, Longxi (near today's Tianshui County, Gansu Province). His ancestors migrated to Central Asia in the late Sui Dynasty. Li Bai was born in Suiye City in Central Asia (now in Kyrgyzstan, the Soviet Union). When he was five years old, he moved with his father to Qinglian Township in Zhangming County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province). He learned to roam in Shu in his early years. In his youth, he began to roam around the country. At the beginning of Tianbao, due to the recommendation of Taoist priest Wu Jun, he went to Chang'an according to the imperial edict to worship the Imperial Academy, and received special courtesy from Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji. However, due to the tolerance of the powerful, he was soon slandered and resigned, and he traveled for a long time. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and he lived in seclusion in Lushan, but he still paid close attention to the fate of the country and the people. Later he joined the Yongwang Li Lin shogunate. King Yong was defeated and killed, and Li Bai was imprisoned in Xunyang Prison. The next year, Changliu Yelang was pardoned on the way. In his later years, he wandered around Wuchang, Xunyang, Xuancheng and other places. In the first year of Baoying's reign (762), Dai Zong died of illness at the residence of his uncle Li Yangbing, magistrate of Dangtu County.
Throughout Li Bai's life, his thoughts were relatively complex. Confucianism, Taoism, political strategists, and knight-errant thoughts all influenced him. He envied the immortals and yearned for seclusion, but he did not want to "become the abbot of Penglai in one day". Instead, he wanted to "apply Guan Yan's talk, seek the emperor's skills, develop his wisdom, and be willing to serve as an assistant to bring peace to the world." , Hai County Qingyi" ("Dai Shoushan's Reply to Meng Shaofu's Transfer Document"). He had lofty political ambitions, but was unwilling to take the imperial examination route. He wanted to gain prestige by living in seclusion and seeking immortality, so that he could be recruited and re-employed by the emperor under the recommendation of celebrities, so as to realize his ideals of "helping the common people" and "securing the country", and then retire with success. The poet lived a wild and rough life under the guidance of this thought.
Li Bai has more than 990 poems. These poems may express the passionate pursuit of ideal politics and the desire to make achievements with unrestrained passion; they may expose the debauchery and decadence of political groups with sharp pens; or they may paint the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland with good descriptions. His poems, no matter whether they are five or seven words, whether they are ancient or modern, are all unique in style and have a strong romantic color. There is "The Collection of Li Taibai".
Ding Duhuge Li Bai
Yunyang went up to conquer, and merchants on both sides of the strait were spared. When Wu Niu gasps for breath, why bother to tug the boat! The water is turbid and cannot be drunk, and the slurry in the pot is half turned into soil.
When I sing the Duhu song, my heart bursts into tears. Thousands of people are cutting rocks, but they have no way to reach Jiang Margin. You look at the bright stone, covering your tears with eternal sorrow!

Here, the tugboat is turned to "cutting stones", from writing about people to describing scenes, from the tugboat in front of us to transporting stones, and writing to thousands of people in one stroke Chiseling stones reveals the crimes of feudal rulers and the hard labor burden of the people from a wider scope. "Ten thousand people" and "no reason" all highlight the poet's great indignation.
"Looking at the bright stone, you hide your tears and mourn for eternity." It ends with a reminder sentence pattern.
