This place is no longer in China.
It is said that when Li Bai's mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of Venus.
So I named him Bai, and the words were too white.
After Li Bai became a noble family, he was the ninth grandson of King Li Jue of Wu Zhao.
Interestingly, the ancestor of Emperor Li Tang was also Li Yong.
For example, Li Longji was the 11th grandson of Gui Li.
In this way, he still has to call grandpa Li Bai.
Shortly after his birth, Li Bai moved to Sichuan with his parents.
In the 12th year of Kaiyuan, 24-year-old Li Bai decided to go out of Bashu and travel around the world.
At this time, his "Fu Dapeng" has been widely circulated in Chang 'an.
As an educated youth, he refused the imperial examination step by step.
Because he thinks he is Dapeng,
You can "flip the bucket into the sky, and the mountains shake the sea."
Will be a blockbuster, soaring!
Go through Jingmen, Jiangling and see the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Li Bai set a lifelong goal in his mind:
Seeking the skill of the emperor is the teacher of the emperor.
In two years, Li Bai traveled all over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Are you happy to drink and write poems and make friends with heroes every day?
But he didn't forget the ideal in his heart.
But to realize the ideal in your heart,
You need an extraordinary and inspiring self-introduction.
Li Bai wrote in his recommendation letter to Pei Changshi in Anzhou:
"May you, Hou Hui, have a big encounter ... if you are arrogant ... and leave on your knees, why can't you play with a long sword at the door of the vassal's house?"
I hope you can give me a chance, but if you throw your weight around in front of me, I will give you a bow, and then we will say goodbye. Where can't I find something to do?
In the vernacular, it means-if you don't leave me here, you leave me here.
This is Li Bai's madness and pride.
Of course, he has crazy and proud capital.
Li Bai once told a friend that when he wrote a poem, he "happily put pen to paper, shook the five mountains, and the poem became a smile."
As soon as this poem came out, all the five mountains and three mountains were surprised.
Read aloud after writing, and the sea will stir up a thousand waves.
Besides being brilliant and arrogant, Li Bai is also very brave.
When I was in Yangzhou, whenever there was a lonely boy,
Li Bai "learned everything" and scattered more than 300,000 pieces of gold in one year.
Li Bai felt that all he needed was an opportunity like Jiang Taigong's.
Once he is reused by the king, the history of Datang will turn a new page.
However, such an opportunity never came.
In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, Li Bai came to Anzhou.
He was introduced to marry Xu Shi.
After Xu was named Xiangmen,
Her grandfather, Xu Jingzong, was the prime minister in Tang Gaozong's time.
Life after marriage is happy and calm, especially the arrival of a son and a daughter, which makes Li Bai particularly happy.
He named his son "Boqin" and his daughter "Pingyang", which are the names of famous people in history.
The intention is obvious, but I hope they will do something when they grow up.
Li Bai and his wife Xu Shi have a good relationship.
Li Bai once wrote a poem: 360 days, drunk as mud every day. Although she is Li Bai's wife, she is not an ordinary wife.
It means that if you drink freely, you can't help ignoring your wife and asking her to forgive him.
However, happiness did not last long.
Xu Shi died of a sudden illness, and Li Bai was in great pain.
Just then, a good news came.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty heard the name of Li Bai's poem and wanted to call him into the palace.
This year, Li Bai was 42 years old.
He has waited too long for this day.
Li Bai simply packed his luggage,
Entrust two children to the care of a friend,
Say goodbye to old friends and stride out of the house.
As the saying goes, "Laugh and watch the sky go out, my generation is Artemisia."
Chang 'an is bustling, and the flag at the entrance of the restaurant is rotating rhythmically.
A thin layer of rain fell, and people in the street held up oil-paper umbrellas one after another.
Li Bai was in such a good mood that he should have gone to the inn to rest for one night and cleaned himself up before entering the palace the next day.
But he couldn't wait, so he walked quickly to the palace.
Entering Chang 'an Palace, Xuanzong had been waiting for a long time.
He invited Li Bai to sit on the Qibao bed, let people offer exquisite food and talk with Li Bai about poetry and songs.
Emperor and poet, this is the first time in the history of China's poetry.
Li Bai didn't eat a good meal, but he thought it was particularly delicious.
After dinner, Xuanzong summoned Director imperial academy and arranged for Li Bai to be an academician in imperial academy.
This year, Xuanzong was 57 years old.
Li was prime minister for 8 years, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan lasted for 30 years.
At the age of 24, Yang Yuhuan began to live in Xingqing Palace as a Taoist.
Yang is still poor in distant Sichuan.
39-year-old An Lushan has just served as an ambassador to Pinglu, and her wings are not yet full.
They have all entered or are about to enter Li Bai's life.
The life in Chang 'an made Li Bai feel unprecedented hope and great glory in life.
"Kings give color, sound price ling smoke hong. ..... back to Xianyang, laughing and laughing are all princes. "
Soon, Li Bai became a distinguished official and a literati in Chang 'an.
On one occasion, when I was over eighty years old, I saw Li Bai, the secretary in charge of the doctrine, and exclaimed:
"You are not an ordinary person. You are simply a fairy from the sky. "
Since then, the saying that Li Bai is "fallen immortal" has spread.
Why invite Li Bai to drink? During the dinner, I read Li Bai's "Difficult Road to Shu" and lamented that it was really a swan song.
I had a good time drinking, and found that I didn't have enough money, so I changed my scarab with me.
One day, Xuanzong and Princess Yang Yuhuan wrote poems for fun.
Thinking of Li Bai's excellent poems, I called Li Bai and asked him to write one.
At that time, many precious peonies were planted beside the East Chenxiang Temple of Xingqing Palace.
Every time the flowers bloom, they are colorful and beautiful.
Such a beautiful scenery, Li Bai with a stroke of a pen:
"The cloud wants clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.
Excuse me, who looks like Han Palace? The poor swallow relies on new cosmetics. "
When Yang Yuhuan heard that Li Bai compared her to Zhao, he was both happy and shy.
Xuanzong Lian said, "Good poem, good poem", and presented a string of beads in his hand to Li Bai.
At this moment, Li Bai felt that the ideal in his heart would be realized soon.
In addition to writing poems, he also actively expressed his political views to Xuanzong.
However, Xuanzong did not respond too much.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Bai found that,
He is just playing poetry with the emperor.
Xuanzong handed him a pen to whitewash and polish Wang Ye's words.
Instead of planning the country and drafting the imperial edict.
The huge gap between ideal and reality made Li Bai begin to drown his sorrows by drinking.
In Chang 'an, Li Bai left a lot of drunken records.
Once, Xuanzong played a song and wanted to write a new word for Yuefu, so he sent someone to find Li Bai.
Li Bai was as drunk as a fiddler in the pub at this time, and he didn't wake up until someone threw a basin of water on his face.
Li Bai rushed back to the palace with a faint drunkenness, and wrote these words in a few strokes.
Xuanzong saw it and sighed-good word!
Sure enough, Li Bai is Li Bai, and even if he is drunk, he is also a "poetic fairy."
It's just that this man loves wine. If one day he is drunk, he will say something he shouldn't say in the palace. Isn't it a disgrace to the royal family?
Xuanzong doubted whether it was appropriate to leave Li Bai in imperial academy.
At this time, some villains who are jealous of Li Bai's talent also rush headlong into it.
Presented to Xuanzong the poems written by Li Bai in his usual resentment, such as "Confusing Britain's main heart, being kind to courtiers", "Although I was saved by moths, I had no choice but to kill people in the palace" and "I was cheated by my officials, so I returned to the mountain", saying that Li Bai had no heart for courtiers.
In a rage, Xuanzong wrote four words on the memorial-pay back the money.
Leaving Chang 'an, Li Bai roamed while looking for a chance to make a comeback.
But opportunities are not so easy to find. If you want to re-enter the political center of the Tang Dynasty, the difficulty can be imagined.
On this day, Li Bai came to Bianzhou, walked into a pub, drank several bowls of water and wine, and shouted to the bartender, "Bring a pen and paper!" " "
Write hundreds of words in an instant.
As soon as I put pen to paper, a voice came from around me: "Good poem, good poem. May I ask your name? Can you make a friend? "
Li Bai turned around and saw a young man dressed in plain clothes, with a little sadness between his eyebrows and eyes, but his eyes were bright.
"My family name is Li."
The young man was in awe and immediately knelt down and said, "It was Li Hanlin. I've heard a lot about him. My brother is Du Mingfu. "
"Don't call me that, I'm not an academician anymore."
"Why?"
Li Bai told Du Fu without hesitation, why he was not proud, why he was drunk in the palace, and why all kinds of villains threw stones when they were down.
Du Fu was also full of bitterness at this time, and no one was admitted to this expedition.
According to legend, Li, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was jealous of talent and lied to Xuanzong that there were no talents in the world.
After some conversation, Li Bai and Du Fu became close friends.
Du Fu said, "There is a man named Gao Shi who studies with me. He is also a good poet. He lives here. I might as well introduce him to my brother. "
The next day, Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi met in a pub, and they really had a good chat.
Du Fu suggested: "Since everyone is frustrated, it is better to roam with Liang and Song."
The three of them hit it off, and since then, they have been drinking and writing poems every day, laughing proudly at the world.
One day, three people climbed the mountain, drinking and reciting poems at the top of the mountain, and it was dawn before they knew it.
Looking at the morning glow on the horizon, Li Bai moved in his heart and casually said, "It's not too late to make a comeback!"
Yes, yes, how can I be so depressed? I want to learn from Xie An, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although I live in seclusion in Dongshan, as long as the whole world is looking forward to it, I will go out at once!
Li Bai bid farewell to Gao Shi and Du Fu, and went to qi zhou alone, and asked the Taoist priest of Amethyst Palace to preach to him.
People who study Taoism get Taoist scriptures, which is equivalent to college students getting diplomas.
Li Bai has since become a formal Taoist priest.
In that case, of course, there must be real immortals.
However, it is not easy for Li Bai to move from the temple to the rivers and lakes.
"A sailing tourist will talk about Japan, and water and fog are hidden outside the method; ? But the more people talk about the mother mountain, the clouds are light or visible. ? ..... I wore Xie's earliest spiked shoes and climbed the blue ladder; Halfway through the sunny ocean, the sacred rooster crows in space. "
In Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang, Li Bai's heart is full of contradictions.
On the one hand, he enjoys the freedom to roam the world.
On the other hand, he wanted to serve his country, but he couldn't get it. He wants to get rid of fame, but he can't really forget it.
Although he wants to indulge himself in Tianmu's sleepwalking dream,
However, when he woke up, he couldn't help drinking:
"Oh, how can I bow and scrape to those who have high status and high positions? They will never tolerate others showing them a sincere face! "
In Jinling, Li Bai boarded the Phoenix Terrace and watched the vicissitudes of history.
A cloud rose between the light of heaven and me, hiding his city from my melancholy heart,
In his mind, Chang 'an will always be in his mind, and he will always be concerned about the country and the people.
Finally, Li Bai realized that wandering immortals could not free himself from the pain in his heart.
Arrival is not expensive, poverty is not sad,
Li Bai made a bold decision to travel north and join the border guards to realize his political ambition.
Around the eleventh year of Tianbao, Li Bai passed through Handan, Qingzhang and other places and arrived in Youzhou.
Then the reality surprised him.
At this time, An Lushan was preparing for a rebellion, and his ambition was well known.
At that moment, Li Bai was sad and angry.
Seeing that the people of the country are dying, there is no chance to remonstrate with the saints.
Helpless, Li Bai had to go all the way south to Xuancheng, Anhui.
One day, he and his uncle Li went to the Xie Tiao building in Xuancheng, feeling a lot in their hearts and chanting:
"Those who dislike me can't stay yesterday, and those who disturb my heart are even more worried about today."
For a poet who is over half a century old at this time.
Abandoning him and disturbing his heart is not only the past time, but also the nostalgia for the glorious life of the past.
Soon, the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, and Xuanzong led the prince and grandson to escape from Chang 'an.
Prince Hengli announced his accession to the throne, honoring Xuanzong as the emperor's father.
On his way to Chengdu, Xuanzong ordered the kings to enfeoffment towns.
That is to say, the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty was decomposed into the hands of various governors.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Yong Li Lin began to assemble troops in Jiangling, Hubei Province, and recruited warriors.
At this time, Li Bai happened to go to Jiangling area.
When Wang Yong heard the news, he sent a special envoy to invite Li Bai to join his shogunate.
At this time, Li Bai had married his second wife Zong.
After the master is also a relative, she advised Li Bai not to go with a woman's unique intuition.
However, the arrival of the envoy of the eternal king once again ignited Li Bai's ideal ambition.
Before leaving, he joked with his wife: "When I went out, my wife forced me to grab my clothes and asked me how many days I would return to the West."
After joining the shogunate, Li Bai was full of pride and wrote eleven songs about Dong in the shogunate.
Rong Lu's Banquet in Command and Hu was swept away by the south wind.
Li Bai feels that he will definitely realize his ideal ambition this time.
However, our great poet overestimated his political vision.
Influenced by the king's independent town, Prince Hengli was dissatisfied with the rapid expansion of Wang Yong's army.
Wang Yong also denied the fact that the prince ascended the throne, and civil war broke out between the two brothers.
In the end, Wang Yong was defeated and Wang Yong's army was designated as a rebel.
Our great poet Li Bai was arrested and imprisoned before he could display his political talents.
Li Bai in prison was in great pain, but as a scholar, there was nothing he could do.
I can only curse and ridicule the intrigue between Hengli and Li Lin in my poems.
Although Li Bai was not the mastermind of the Wang Yong Uprising,
But his fame is so great,
I succeeded in bringing all my hatred to myself.
Du Fu once described the scene like this: Everyone wanted to kill people.
At that time, many people advocated killing Li Bai.
Fortunately, when Li Bai was young, he acted bravely and won the respect of many people.
In the proposal, Cheng Ruosi of the Song Dynasty, Cui Huan, the special envoy of Jiangnan, and others rushed to tell him.
His wife Zong also actively mediated.
In prison, Li Bai wrote a poem for Zong:
It's hard to know how to cry and cry into the house; Many gentlemen and Cai Yan invited Tsao Gong with tears in their eyes.
Li Bai compared the imperial clan to Cai Wenji in those days.
Much trouble and Li Bai were released.
Although he regained his freedom, Li Bai felt that he had a political stain on himself, and his ideals and ambitions might not be realized.
Just then, Song Ruosi came to help Li Bai again.
He vouched for Li Bai to write a letter to Su Zong.
In this letter of recommendation, Li Bai regained his confidence, and he boasted through Song Re-si:
I am in charge of Li Bai, who is innocent, has economic talent and resists the nest and the festival. Writing can change customs, learning can study heaven and man, life is still, and the four seas are bent. ..... Fu Nai's Majesty returned to the high brightness of the sun, and showed mercy to the basin. Please respect a Beijing official and present a substitute. If you show it with a light column, you will be heroic all over the world and know how to return first.
He firmly believes that his lack of talent will make scholars in the world lament, and if the court can reuse him, it will lead the world back.
Li Bai, with his extraordinary persistence in the court, the country and the ideal, gave a deafening cry when he was nearly fifty years old!
However, Li Bai did not expect that there was even greater misfortune approaching him quietly.
After the Tang Dynasty recovered Chang 'an and Luoyang, all the officials who cast thieves and trapped thieves as false posts were politically liquidated.
Li Bai-exile Yelang!
Du Fu once said, "Life is seventy years old".
For a 60-year-old man, this is simply the most cruel imprisonment.
It took only one year from joining the Wang Yong shogunate to exile Yelang.
Li Bai originally wanted to make a comeback with Song Ruosi.
However, Yelang's exile seemed to be a blow, and a pot of cold water was poured from the beginning.
His mood can be imagined.
On February 2nd, AD 65438+757, Xuanzong returned to Chang 'an.
On this day, Li Bai set out for Yelang.
His wife sent him to the bank of Wujiang River.
Li Bai can see you again at the thought of leaving, and his career is in vain. How tragic his mood is!
"Letter valley off suddenly surprised Hu Malay, qin attack peaches and plums. I'm worried about going to Yelang and when the golden rooster will be released. "
The "Poet Fairy" has faded away from being lofty and free and easy, only revealing deep and sadness.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for luck to befall Li Bai.
In 759 AD, there was a drought in Guanzhong, and the court announced an amnesty for all the people in the world. All the following crimes were exempted.
This is really good news!
In a flash, our poet forgot to be full of complaints and white hair.
He returned to the vast world and became a free bird.
At this time, the poet is 58 years old, but he writes young people's poems!
In this poem, we can't see complaints and setbacks.
All this was gently taken away by "the canoe has crossed Chung Shan Man", leaving no trace.
This is the charm of Li Bai. No matter how difficult it is, he will always look forward.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will go forward and never give up.
This is also the reason why his poems can go through thousands of years.
The reason why it is still attractive.
"When you are old and strong, you would rather be tempted."
Li Bai, who regained his freedom, did not support himself, but rekindled his political enthusiasm.
Two years later, the opportunity seems to have come.
There was a split within the Anshi Rebellion. In order to prevent the rebels from invading wuyue, the imperial court decided to let Li Guangbi go out of the city and camp in Henan.
Li Bai, 6 1 year-old, thought he could join Li Guangbi's army and help pacify the Anshi Rebellion.
Since then, I have been exiled by the army and started my life again.
Unfortunately, Li Bai's poor health interrupted his plan.
In order to recover from illness, Li Bai came to Dangtu, Anhui Province, and went to his uncle Li, who was then the county magistrate of Dangtu.
According to historical records, Li Bai suffered "the threat of disease".
Inference is roughly equivalent to chronic empyema perforation in modern medicine.
The reasons for Li Bai's illness are very complicated, probably related to his long-term drinking and taking Dan medicine.
In 762 AD, 165438+ October, Li Bai's condition deteriorated. On his deathbed, he wrote his last poem and song.
When he was a teenager, Li Bai once wrote a poem "Fu Dapeng", calling himself a Dapeng with soaring wings.
"Five mountains shake, and a hundred rivers run."
Li Bai was in high spirits when he was young.
"When the wind rises in Dapeng, it shakes Wan Li".
Now, on his deathbed, he still does not change his original intention and is still proud of Dapeng.
Big Pengfei echoed all around, flew into the air and tried his best.
The lingering wind can still inspire the world, swim in Fusang and hang on the left wing.
Future generations will tell this story from generation to generation, but without Confucius, who will cry for my destruction?
Some people say that if Li Bai devoted himself to writing poems and didn't have so many ideals and ambitions of worrying about the country and the people, he would be happy and not so stubborn all his life.
Maybe, but no one can experience life twice.
Objectively speaking, Li Bai is really talented in poetry and prose, but it is hard to say whether he has talent in governing the country.
Judging from his uninhibited personality, drunkenness in Chang 'an Palace and rashly joining the Wang Yong shogunate, he lacks the calm personality and foresight of a politician.
But this is Li Bai.
If he gives in to himself easily and gives in to reality.
He is not a unique poet Li Bai.
It is not the arrogant, elegant and free-spirited "poetic fairy" in our mind.
It is this kind of twists and turns that endows Li Bai with rich life experience.
Since then, he has created amazing poems.
Recently, Wolf Warriors 2 hit a record at the box office, and everyone is learning Jason Wu's spirit of "Desperate Saburo".
In fact, Li Bai and Jason Wu are very similar. They are both used to stuttering.
People who like rote learning definitely don't like one word-insipid.
Li Bai's life is wonderful, just like a good movie, with highs and lows.
But for himself, the most important thing is to live in persistence and confidence in his ideals, never give up and never give up, so he keeps going forward and never looks back.
