Tonight, I would like to talk about the great poet Li Bai, the most brilliant literary superstar of the Tang Dynasty, who wrote many masterpieces that have been handed down to the world. In people's minds, such a great writer and a great poet should be a person who is noble and flawless, far away from the powerful, so that he can write holy and noble poetry. However, Li Bai once deviated from the direction of life, and clinging to the powerful became a shame in his life.
Li Bai looked up at the bright moon
If you learn and excel, you can become an official after writing the article, which is the dream of the ancient Chinese literati and the goal of Life that Li Bai dreamed of. In order to photograph the emperor's "dragon fart", Li Bai once presented the work "MingTang Fu" to Li Longji, the Emperor Xuanzong, to the effect that under the emperor's rule of the Tang Dynasty, the meteorological majesty is really the first in the world, and the emperor's merits are unparalleled in the world!
The next year, Li Bai finally found a good opportunity, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was hunting, just when Li Bai was also playing and encountering, such a flattering opportunity could not be missed, he immediately presented the "Great Hunting Gift" to the emperor, boasting that the Tang Dynasty was really remarkable, far better than the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, all by virtue of the wisdom of the Holy Lord, the situation of the Tang Dynasty was very different from the previous generation.
Li Bai, who was a powerful man, lost his way
Later, Li Bai got his wish and sought a "tribute to Hanlin", that is, to accompany the emperor and write poems and music for him, whether the emperor went to dinner or went to the countryside to play, Li Bai would wait next to him, record everything, and praise the emperor's holy virtues. Seeing that Li Bai was so favored, other officials were very unhappy, you Li Bai will write a few poems, what virtue and how can you accept such a high political treatment?
There is a saying that the gun shoots the head bird, and the high place is not cold, and Li Bai is expelled from the official field. The emperor gave Li Bai a sum of money and said: You still go out of the palace, you can go wherever you like! Therefore, the 44-year-old Li Bai began to travel in the mountains and rivers again, and in the eastern capital of Luoyang, he met another great poet Du Fu, who wrote the famous poem "Sleepwalking in Heaven and Staying Behind".
The poet Li Baigai made a conclusive conclusion
In order to win the high-ranking official Houlu, Li Bai once lost the pride of the literati, and later obtained the coveted throne, but felt the pain of hypocrisy and boredom. Fortunately for Chinese history, Li Bai has found himself as a poet, and he sincerely gives a word to future generations: It is the saddest for the literati to cling to the powerful!
