It's not surprising that you can recite a few poems of Li Bai casually, because Li Bai's poems are so well written that they are not only famous at home and abroad, but also have the charm of crossing the Millennium. But how much do you know about the story of Li Bai's life?
Story 1: Chang Geng falls asleep
It is said that Li Bai's mother was washing clothes in Manpo during the day, and a red carp jumped into the clothes basket. After eating carp that night, I dreamed that the sky was glittering with gold, and Chang Geng Xing (Taibai Venus) fell from the sky into my arms, so I got pregnant, and later I gave birth to Li Bai and wrote it in white. When he grew up, Li Bai was a bit "immortal". He roamed the world, learned the Tao and sword, drank good wine in Ren Xia, and laughed at princes. In his poems, the imagination is "to go to the sky and embrace the bright moon", and the momentum is like "how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven", which is unparalleled. Li Bai enjoyed the reputation of "fallen immortal" in the dynasty, and was later honored as "the fairy in poetry".
Story 2: Shi Niu, a poetry town
It is said that there is a Shi Niu in Shi Niu ditch, qinglian town, who sleeps during the day and comes out at night to spoil crops. After knowing this, Li Bai, a teenager, secretly went to see it and wrote a poem about what he saw:
This stone is as majestic as an ox, and it is buried for thousands of years.
the wind blows all over the place, and the raindrops are like sweat.
When the grass is at the entrance of Qi Mei, the shepherd boy pulls his horn and never looks back.
naturally, there is no rope on the nose, and the world is a fence.
Li Bai pasted the written poem on Shi Niu's back, and Shi Niu was convinced. Indeed, he was honest from then on, and would never spoil crops everywhere again.
Story 3: Dream pen gives birth to flowers
According to Tianbao's legacy, when Li Bai was young, he dreamed that the pen he used had flowers on his head. Later, he was brilliant and famous all over the world. It is also recorded that Li Bai is addicted to alcohol and informal, but the articles written by Shen Han are not wrong; To discuss with others, most people can't tell what Li Bai said, so people call it "drunken sage" and "poetic immortal".
Story 4: The iron pestle is ground into a needle
It is said that Li Bai didn't study hard when he was a child, and wanted to stop studying halfway. One day, he was playing truant outside, and an old woman in Lu Yu was grinding an iron bar. Li Bai curiously asked her what it was for, and the old woman said that she would grind it into a needle. Li Bai was deeply moved by this, studied hard from then on, and finally made great achievements. This is the story of "the iron pestle is ground into a needle".
Story 5: Eliminating Violence and Saving Weak Women
The Biography of Li Bai, a Book of the New Tang Dynasty, says: "Fencing is Ren Xia, and it is easy to spend money." Legend has it that Li Bai, on his way to Kuangshan, met a rogue who bullied a weak woman. Li Bai stepped forward with indignation and beat the rogue out of the water with his exquisite swordsmanship to save the weak woman. It can be seen that Li Bai has a kind of heroic chivalry of "seeing the road is uneven".
Story 6: Immortal in Heaven
When Li Bai first arrived in Chang 'an, he met He Zhizhang. Li Bai took out an article on Difficult Road to Shu and presented it. He Zhizhang nodded while reading it, and he sighed several times. Finally, he tilted his thumb and said to Li Bai, "Sir, you are really an immortal in heaven!" Immediately take off the scarab, call the shopkeeper for wine, and pour a glass with Li Bai to get drunk. He Zhizhang's eulogy in Tang Dynasty written by Wang Dingbao, a five-generation man, is "a man who is not human, but a golden star?" He Zhizhang was a veteran of the literary world at that time. Once he praised Shu Dao Nan, the publicity was very strong. Sure enough, this poem, together with the name "fallen fairy", soon spread all over the world.
