Why is Li Bai called Qinglian layman?

Reason: Because Li Bai missed his hometown, he implicitly expressed his longing for his hometown in "Qinglian".

Li Bai's birthplace is generally believed to be Qinglian Township, Changlong (later changed to Changming to avoid Xuanzong's taboo) in Mianzhou (Brazil County), Jiannan Road, Tang Dynasty. "Qinglian" has the same pronunciation as "Qinglian", which is a tactful expression. His nostalgia for his hometown also expresses his political pursuit of integrity and justice.

Du Pu was nicknamed "Shaoling Ye Lao". Du Fu arrived in Chang'an in the fifth year of Tianbao (746 AD), and then went to take the imperial examination. Because Li Linfu had cheated on him, Du Fu and all the candidates failed. Second, he never became a Jinshi throughout his life. Because he once lived in Shaoling, south of Chang'an City, he called himself Shaoling Yelao, and was known as Du Shaoling in the world.
