Li Bai, a great romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, was revered as a "poet immortal" by later generations, and most of his poems mainly describe landscapes and express inner emotions. He and Du Fu are called "Li Du". Li Bai's ancestral home is Chengji, Longxi (now south of Jingning County, Pingliang City, Gansu Province), and was born on February 28, 701 (the sixteenth day of the first month of the summer calendar) in Qinglian Township, Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province.

Another theory is that his father was demoted from the Central Plains to the city of Broken Leaves in the Western Regions of Central Asia (present-day Tokmak Li Bai** in Kyrgyzstan).

At the age of 4, he moved back to Changlong County, Mianzhou, Sichuan Province (now Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province). Li Bai was born in the Tang Dynasty, and most of his life was spent wandering, traveling through most of China. At the age of 20, he went out of Sichuan alone and began to roam extensively, reaching the Xiangjiang River in Dongting in the south, Wu and Yue in the east, and living in Anlu (now Anlu City, Hubei Province) and Yingshan (now Guangshui City, Hubei Province).

He traveled far and wide, hoping to make friends and meet celebrities in order to be introduced to high positions and fulfill his political ideals and aspirations. However, after ten years of roaming, nothing was accomplished. He continued north to Taiyuan and Chang'an (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), eastward to Qi and Shandong, and lived in Rencheng, Shandong (present-day Jining, Shandong Province).

By this time, he had made many famous friends and wrote a large number of excellent poems. Li Bai was reluctant to take the exam to become an official, hoping to rely on his own talent and go to the official career through the recommendation of others, but he has not been appreciated. He once wrote a "Letter with Han Jingzhou" to Han Jingzhou, a famous scholar of the dynasty, to recommend himself, but he did not receive a reply.

Until the first year of Tianbao (742), due to the recommendation of the Taoist priest Wu Yun, Li Bai was summoned to Chang'an to worship Hanlin, and the style of the article shocked the world. Li Baichu was appreciated by Xuanzong because of his talent, and later because he could not be tolerated by the powerful, he abandoned his official position after only three years in Beijing, and still continued his wandering life. In the second year of the Anshi Rebellion (756), he was angry about the difficulties and participated in the shogunate of Eiwang Ri Lin.

Unfortunately, King Yong and Suzong had a struggle for the throne, and after the defeat, Li Bai was implicated and exiled to Yelang (in present-day Guizhou), where he was pardoned on the way. In his later years, he wandered in the southeast, and Li Yangbing, the uncle of the Yi clan, was the commander of Tu County, and soon died of illness.

Li Bai, the first name

It is said that when Li Bai caught Zhou when he was one year old, he grabbed a book of poetry. His father was very happy and thought that his son might become a famous poet when he grew up, so he wanted to choose a good name for Li Bai, so that future generations would not laugh at him for being uneducated.

Since he was cautious about naming his son, the more cautious he was, the more he couldn't think of it. Until my son was seven years old, he hadn't come up with a suitable name.

In the spring of that year, Li Bai's father said to his wife and children: "I want to write a spring quatrain, only write two sentences, and your mother and son will add one sentence to me, make do with it." One sentence is yes'The spring breeze warms the flowers and blooms', a sentence is'It comes first in the spring and blooms'. ”

The mother thought for a while and said, "The fire burns the apricot grove and the red glow falls." "

Li Bai waited for his mother to speak, and without thinking, he pointed to the plum tree in full bloom in the courtyard, and blurted out: "The plum flower blooms and the tree is white." ”

When the father heard this, he applauded, and sure enough, his son had a poetic talent. The more he read it, the more he liked it, and as he read it, he suddenly thought to himself that the first word of this poem was not his own surname? This last white word is really well used, and it is saying that a plum tree is as holy as snow.

So, he named his son Li Bai.
