May I ask how Li Bai returned to the west?

Li Bai's death has always been a matter of opinion. In general, it can be summarized into three ways to die: one is drunkenness, the second is disease death, and the third is drowning.

The first way to die is found in the "Old Tang Book", which says that Li Bai "died of drunkenness in Xuancheng by drinking too much". It should be more credible. The second method of death can also be seen in other official histories or the research of experts and scholars, and it cannot be biased.

It is said that when Li Guangbi was in Linhuai in Dongzhen, Li Bai ignored the 61-year-old age, heard the news and went to ask Ying to kill the enemy, hoping to do his best to save the country from peril in his twilight years, and returned halfway due to illness, and died of illness in the following year at Li Yangbing, the most famous seal calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. The third method of death is mostly found in folklore, which is very romantic and very consistent with the poet's character. Believe it or not.

It is said that Li Bai drank alcohol on the river in Dangtu, and drowned because he was drunk and jumped into the water to catch the moon. But no matter what kind of death you have, it is directly related to your participation in the rebellion of Yongwang Li Lan. Because Li Bai exiled Yelang, it was an indisputable fact that soon after he was pardoned, he ended his legendary and bumpy life.

Looking at Li Bai's three ways of death, the author believes in the "Old Tang Book". There are three reasons: one is because it is the official history of later generations, if it is said that he is "a martyr in his twilight years, his heart is strong", and "he died before leaving the school", it is impossible not to record it.

The second is because Li Bai has been addicted to alcohol all his life, and said that "the ancient sages are all lonely, and only the drinker leaves his name", "Five-flowered horses, daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine". Old age and weakness, death due to excessive drinking, people can understand and accept. The third reason why he died in Xuancheng in Anhui instead of Dangtu is because Li Bai had a soft spot for Xuancheng all his life, and he mentioned it many times in his poems.

And his preference for Xuancheng is only because he admires Xie Wei, who has been an official here.

Judging from Li Yangbing's preface to "Li Taibai's Collection", Li Baishi died of illness.

One is drunkenness, the second is illness, and the third is drowning.

There are three types of Pure Land, namely the Western Pure Land, the Heavenly Pure Land (i.e., the "Maitreya Pure Land") and the Eastern Pure Land (i.e., the "Pure Glass").
