Portrait of Li Bai
Li Bai was born at 70 1. The specific place of birth is difficult to verify. Now there are many places competing for the title of Li Bai's hometown, and his origin is quite bizarre. His family background and ancestors are not recorded. Some people say that his ancestors were Li or Li Yuanji. Li Bai was very clever when he was young, and he could write poems at the age of 15. And he likes fencing very much. Fencing is unique.
At the age of 24, Li Bai left his hometown and went to Sichuan. After traveling in Sichuan, he went to Sichuan. At the age of 27, he became the husband of Xu Shi, the granddaughter of the former prime minister, through the introduction of his good friend Meng Haoran, and has since settled in Anlu. Li Bai has always wanted to enter the officialdom. He has written many times to inquire about the long history of the local area, but he failed because he was slandered by others. Later, at the age of 30, I traveled to Chang' an, and there was no income between princes and nobles. Frustrated, Li Bai finally chose to return to Anlu's home to live in seclusion.
Just after Xuanzong advocated Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai himself was deeply influenced by Taoism. When Xuanzong was hunting, he presented the Great Hunting Fu, which coincided with Xuanzong's mood at that time. Later, he was able to enter Chang 'an and was praised by many people, but he was still not reused. So I sent out the feeling of "difficult to go" and left Chang' an for Shandong. Later, because of the recommendation of whom, Li Bai finally won the trust of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, but Emperor Xuanzong only regarded him as a court scholar and did not participate in any state affairs at all. Later, because he participated in the rebellion of kings after the Anshi Rebellion, although he survived death, he was sent to Yelang and later died in bed in 762.
Li Bai and Du Fu
Li Bai and Du Fu, both called Du Li, were great poets who had a far-reaching influence on later generations in the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai is eleven years older than Du Fu, one is a typical figure of romanticism and the other is a representative figure of realism. Literati attract each other, and the sincere friendship of love at first sight is also an eternal story in the history of literature.
Li Bai and Du Fu
Li Bai and Du Fu met at Du Fu's father's house. When they met, they met like bosom friends. At that time, Li Bai was already a famous poet, while Du Fu was just a nobody who invaded the powerful and was released into the mountains. But both of them are very congenial. appreciate each other is like a brother, drinking and writing poems together, which is very carefree. When he left, he also sent poems to each other. Du Fu's poems show great respect for Li Bai, and the evaluation of his poems is also very appropriate. The relationship between Du Li can almost be called the best friendship after the Boya period.
But the two of them said goodbye this time and never met again. Maybe China is too old, or maybe they met too late, which shows that the communication between Du Li is too short. After that, the affectionate Du Fu never let go of his thoughts about Li Bai, and often wrote poems of deep concern everywhere. Li Bai, on the other hand, devoted himself to mountains and rivers, kept walking and making friends, and Du Fu became a gourd ladle in his long journey. They want nothing from each other, and it is rare for the two great talents to have the opportunity to meet and know each other.
Du Li's career is not smooth, and he is very frustrated. However, Li Bai sent his thoughts to the mountains and rivers and traveled around, while Du Fu paid attention to the sufferings of the people and exposed the secret politics. Du Fu is not as talented as Li, but he is diligent and rigorous, leaving many immortal masterpieces.
How many wives does Li Bai have?
As one of the most famous poets in the history of China, Li Bai's poems have influenced countless generations, and at the same time, his life has attracted countless people's attention, among which his emotional life has also attracted much attention. So how many wives did Li Bai have in his life? Who are they?
Li Bai and his wife
According to the Book of Old Tang Dynasty, Li Bai had four wives in his life. The first wife, Xu Shi, married the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister through the matchmaking of her good friend Meng Haoran in 727. It was very late to get married for the first time at that age. This time it was not marriage, but adoption. This marriage lasted nearly 12 years, always. But on the whole, their married life is still relatively harmonious. They had a son and a daughter, but Xu died in 738. The following year, Li Bai married Liu, but life after marriage was very unsatisfactory, and the two had many contradictions. So Li Bai broke up with her, so what is recorded in the history books is that she "made up her mind" and this time she probably didn't get married legally, but just lived together for a short time, so the record is relatively simple.
After that, Li Bai left Chang 'an and went to Shandong, where he married a local woman. This time, the woman didn't even leave her surname. The last wife was Zong, the granddaughter of the then Prime Minister of North Korea. Speaking of it, the meeting between the two is quite strange and romantic. It is said that Li Bai was drunk and poetic in Liangyuan, and wrote a famous poem "Song of Liangyuan", which happened to be seen by passers-by. It left a story about a daughter buying a wall. Later, they lived happily together. Li Bai also liked this wife very much, but later, because Li Bai was exiled, it was difficult for them to meet again.
How many poems did Li Bai write?
Li Bai, a poet, is the most famous great poet in the history of China literature. If literature is compared to a weapon, then Li Bai's poems and songs are the most gorgeous and free of all weapons. In his works, there is no restraint, no common sense, no secular feelings, and he shows his heart with a confidence that ordinary people can't imagine.
Li Bai looks at the moon.
Throughout Li Bai's life, he wrote many poems, including more than 900, and now he has added some, about 1000, while Li Bai claimed to have 10000. I don't know if there are so many poems or rhetoric after Li baijiu, or if they are not written in my heart. Li Lao lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the Anshi Rebellion, so most of Li Bai's poems and songs are full of romance and heroism. Whether it is a seven-character quatrain or a five-character quatrain, it is a rare masterpiece in history and the greatest romantic poet in China.
Li Bai's poems are rich and widely circulated in his life. Here, I would like to introduce a most popular poem, Thinking of a Quiet Night. Probably any pupil can recite this poem. As one of the most popular poems in China, it is too simple, without complicated vocabulary and profound quotations. Simple words, like nursery rhymes, have touched countless adults. "The foot of my bed is shining with such bright light. Is it frosty already? "Li Bai sat on the bed with the moonlight shining on the ground. Maybe many people want to know why they can see the moon when they look up in bed. Is the house broken? In fact, Ma Weidou and others think that "bed" is not a bed now, but a long bench. Imagine that Li Bai is sitting on a bench, drinking wine, looking at the moon and thinking about his hometown. How poetic.
Li Bai unofficial history
Li Bai's life is legendary. As the most famous poet in China, Li Bai's gossip is also very noticeable. Many people are interested in Li Bai's gossip about unofficial history. Here I will introduce some unofficial history secrets about Li Bai.
Li Bai's statue
First of all, it is worth mentioning Li Bai's name. It is said that Li Bai's father, Li Ke, fled to the Western Region because of his bravery in the local area, and Li Bai was born in the Western Region. Later, a few years later, when Li Bai was 3 or 4 years old, Li Ke felt almost enough. It's none of my business. I went back to my hometown and changed my name to Li. His mother conceived him because she dreamed of Taibai Star at night, so she later named him Li Ke.
Looking at Li Bai's poems all his life, he should never fall in love. He has never written a love poem in his life. The only recorded poems are three poems written by Yang Guifei to flatter him. At that time, Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong enjoyed flowers together, and Li Guinian went to the court to offer songs. But Tang Xuanzong thought that such a beautiful scenery should also have new songs, so he called Li Bai and asked him to write three poems on the spot. Li Bai was only half a year old then. The first time I saw Yang Guifei, such a beautiful woman, I woke up instantly. Li Bai should have been single at that time. Maybe at that moment, he had a different idea about Yang Guifei. After that, although Li Bai accompanied Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong many times, he was in a bad mood, which may be related to this repressed unrequited love.
Of course, the above contents are all compiled by myself according to unofficial history, regardless of whether it is true or not for the time being, because the psychology of the parties is not something that our descendants can guess casually, but these three poems finally fill the gaps in Li Bai's love poems and make Li Bai look more romantic.
