01
I am born to be useful, and I will come back when all the money is gone.
- Li Bai, "Will Enter the Wine"
Heaven has made me mature, I will certainly be useful, even if I scatter a thousand taels of gold, I will definitely come back.
At this time, Li Bai was already a 51-year-old man, his hair was already gray, and the light madness of the past left deep marks on his forehead, and he comforted himself that there were many troubles and sorrows in this world.
But life is short, why bother?
Life always has a time of depression, the days always come and go, don't be afraid, wake up and start again, all the unsatisfactory, will be dissipated in time.
There are songs, wine, poetry and friends, and today is a good day.

Yang Tian laughed and went out, my generation is a basil person.
——Li Bai, "Nanlingbei Children Enter Beijing"
In the first year of Tianbao, in 742 AD, the 42-year-old Li Bai received an edict from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang summoning him to Beijing, and was extremely excited, believing that his ideal could finally be realized, and excitedly wrote the poem.
Laughing loudly and walking out the door with his back to the sky, how could I be a person who has been in the grass for a long time?
Some people say that this is Li Bai's wildest poem.
Before that, some people questioned Li Bai, but when he received Tang Xuanzong's edict, his heart was so happy that he seemed to be showing everyone: Look, I said, I can do it.
So when difficulties come, don't be upset, don't be frustrated, and don't just look at the moment.
Look far ahead, increase the vision of life, always be optimistic, struggle, and always believe that "the long wind and waves will sometimes".
03
Dapeng rose with the same wind one day and soared up to ninety thousand miles.
- Li Bai, "Shang Li Yong"
When Li Bai was young, he met Li Yong in Yuzhou, and history called Li Yong "quite self-effacing", conceited and well-known, and quite reserved for his attitude towards rising stars.
Li Bai was dissatisfied with this, and wrote this rather unceremonious poem "Shang Li Yong" at the time of parting to show respect.
Li Bai compared himself to Dapeng, which flew to a height of ninety thousand miles with the wind and with a wave of its wings.
Self-confidence is the background of Li Bai's life. No matter what kind of situation, Li Bai can always make a positive voice.
There is always a loss in life, and it is most important to be able to fly in the loss.
Only by believing in yourself can you live a more beautiful life, and can you stand at the highest place and enjoy the infinite scenery.
04
Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles do not stay.
The thing whisked away, hiding deep with the name.
- Li Bai, "Chivalrous Travel"
Their martial arts are the world's greatest, ten steps can kill a person, a journey of thousands of miles, no one can stop. They were righteous heroes, and after the fact, they refused to leave even a name.
Li Bai's chivalrous guests are highly skilled, do not seek fame and fortune, are still righteous, and re-promise.
Invincible, righteous and thin, this is the appearance of a chivalrous guest in Li Bai's heart, and it is also the appearance of a chivalrous guest in the heart of Chinese for thousands of years.
In life, there must always be a time, do not seek results, do not seek returns to pay, even if the final result is not satisfactory, but the process of hard work, we can also be ashamed.
You just care about kindness, the blessing will follow, maybe it will be late, but it will never be absent.
05
Ann can crush the brow and bend the waist of the magnate, so that I can't be happy.
——Li Bai, "Sleepwalking in Heaven and Staying Behind"
How can I bow my knees to serve the powerful, so that I cannot have a pleasant smile?
Li Bai was an official for three years, offended the magnates, and was given gold and returned.
At the practice banquet, looking back at the past like a dream, after waking up from the dream, only a place of chicken feathers, cups and plates are left.
But he did not feel sorry for himself, how could he bow his knees to serve the powerful, so that I could not have a comfortable smile!
In life, who has not had glory, who has not had sorrow, as long as they really see it very clearly and think it through, they can face life squarely and play the melody of life.
06
And a glass of wine before le is born, why should he be famous for a thousand years behind him?
——Li Bai, "Difficult to Walk"
If you have a glass of wine when you are born, you should have fun, so why care about the false name of the millennium behind you?
Since the career is frustrated, then send love to the landscape poetry wine.
The heavens and the earth are big, they can't stand on every inch, and life is short, only 36,500 days in a hundred years.
It seems good to have fun in time, to walk and be drunk and sing for the rest of your life.
Laugh loudly when you should laugh, cry bitterly when you should cry, and only in this way can you not waste this life.
07
Willing to put the sword under the waist, straight for the chopping floor.
- Li Bai, "Plugging down the Song"
I hope that the sword hanging from the waist can calm the frontier as soon as possible and serve the national merit.
During the Han Dynasty, Fu Zijie sent an envoy to Loulan, and the king of Loulan coveted his gold treasure and wanted to kill him, but was killed by Fu Zijie.
Li Bai borrowed the story of Fu Jiezi's generous revenge to show the poet's ambition to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy for the country.
Li Bai had a stubborn life, but he always had a very strong desire to serve the country at home, but his career was not smooth, and although he had patriotic feelings of killing the enemy, he had no way to serve the country and was depressed in his heart.
But it is precisely because of the unsmooth of this kind of not, but also created the poetry immortal Li Bai, every experience will not fail you, every kind of loss, will be in the future in different forms to return to you.
If God closes a door for you, he will certainly open a window for you, and as long as you find the window that belongs to you, you will always get unexpected gains.

I am a madman, Feng Ge laughed at Kong Qiu.
—— Li Bai, "Lushan Ballad Sending Lu Shi Yu Xuan Zhou"
I was like the crazy person who received public opinion, singing a phoenix song loudly to laugh at Kong Qiu.
Confucius once went to the Chu state to lobby the king of Chu, and Li Bai ridiculed Confucius for being obsessed with being an official.
Li Bai compared himself to Chu Madness, expressing his disappointment in the political future, and hinting that he wanted to travel to the famous mountains like Chu Crazy to live a secluded life.
At the time of writing this poem, Li Bai was almost sixty years old.
At that time, people knew that Li Bai, the great talent who was "radiant and long" when he was young and boasted of being a "Pengyi person", may have been like this in this life:
Sloppy, poor, old, hard bones, grumbled...
But he was always reluctant to bow to the reality that tormented him, and always had hope.
Maybe life is to save your little hope in the unsatisfactory, and then always hold your head high.

Xingyu fell to shake the five mountains, and the poem became a laughing and proud of Cangzhou.
- Li Bai, "On the River"
When I was in a hurry, I could shake the Five Peaks with my pen, and after the poem was completed, the sound of pride and pride would soar over the sea.
This poem is majestic and ethereal, with the potential of a cliff.
George Bernard Shaw said that people with self-confidence can turn smallness into greatness and mediocrity into magic.
Indeed, it is not difficult to find that those who shine with self-confidence in life seem to be calm about everything and act fearless in the face of the future.
It's not that they're really not afraid, it's that even if they're afraid, they're brave enough to move forward.
Life doesn't come to a standstill because of someone's sadness, everyone has unbearable things, but some people can digest themselves and some people are stagnant.

Li Bai's life is like a wild horse in Sheng Tang, arrogant and uninhibited.
No matter where he is or what situation he is in, he will not be afraid of bumps and storms.
Because he knows the meaning of living, that is, to face the wind and waves in real terms.
Life is full of ups and downs, why fill with sorrow, all we can do is to go up against the wind and live up to the time.
May we all be like Li Bai, even if we are dissatisfied with the world, we can still be full of hope in a life full of scars, and embrace the not so beautiful world with a piece of Dan heart.
