The story of Li Bai and Princess Yuzhen

Some people say that Li Bai was selected by He Zhizhang that year. It is also said that Li Bai was chosen by the famous Taoist priest Wu Yun. Some people also say that as soon as Li Bai entered Chang'an, he met Princess Yuzhen.

The main reason for this is that the timing of their meeting is not accurate. After all, when did Li Bai meet these powerful people? Was it when he was 42 years old?

It is said that as early as 735, Li Bai met He Zhizhang in the Forbidden City and then gave him the article. He Zhizhang admired the two articles "Shu Dao Difficulty" and "Wuqi Song". It is also said that when Li Bai entered Chang'an (742), he met He Zhizhang, that is, when Li Bai was 42 years old, he was full of ambition and longing for a career, and stayed with He Zhizhang"Golden turtle for wine"eternal friendship.

However, He Zhizhang was full of praise for Li Bai and called him it"Immortals"。

Based on this, he recommended Li Bai as a nobleman, but was not sure if they met in this year. Wu Yun was a famous Taoist priest whom Li Bai met when he visited Wu Yue. In the first year of Tianbao (742), Wu Yun, accompanied by Li Bai, was summoned from Nanling to Chang'an.

Therefore, Li Bai met Wu Jun before the age of 42. On the other hand, Wu Yun was a Taoist priest and a little famous, and he was appreciated by Tang Xuanzong for the first time, so he was not so quick to recommend it to Li Bai. In the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan (731), Li Bai, who was in his 30s, entered Chang'an to seek political development.

We know that Li Bai is confident and wild. He had never taken the imperial examinations, but he was eager to make a difference in ** and the opposition, so he hoped that someone would recommend him.

This time he found the emperor's son-in-law, Zhang Yan (ji), the second son of the Tang Dynasty prime minister Zhang Shuo. The family was prestigious, but they were unwilling to help Li Bai, so Li Bai had to place him in the annex building. Unfortunately, it was the Taoist temple where Princess Yuzhen preached.

He didn't see Zhang Yan reply in such a way for several months, so he left a poem "Yuzhen Xianci". We know that there is a sentence in it"Immortal Master, Dan Qiusheng"，"Dan Qiusheng"refers to Yuan Danqiu.

He was an authentic Taoist figure, and it was this person who introduced Li Bai to Sima Chengzhen and Princess Yuzhen. At this time, the song "Tales of Yuzhen Immortals" shows that Princess Yuzhen realized that Li Bai was so good at writing poetry and that he was also a Taoist figure (Li Bai entered Taoism at the age of 20 and was deeply influenced by Taoist thought), so she wanted to recommend Li Bai to his brother Xuanzong.

The love story between Li Bai and Princess Yuzhen is a pity, because after the two fell in love, they were not together because of the big gap between their identities.

When Li Bai entered Chang'an, he met Princess Yuzhen, and the two met and fell in love, but due to some other reasons, the two were separated and there was no way to be together.

In fact, it is the story of the princess who falls in love with the poor boy, and the two of them fall in love with each other at first sight, but they can't be together in the end because of the disparity in status.
