"The moonlight is still the moonlight of the youth, and the Kyushu Isshiki is still Li Bai's frost." This is the first sentence of Yu Guangzhong's opening in "Monologue", reading it inexplicably, you will feel that the eternal rivers and mountains do not change color, and Li Bai Shijiu is frivolous. I don't know what Li Bai looks like in everyone's minds? I have the impression that Li Bai has many faces, he is not only a young and frivolous Dapeng who once Xu Lingyunzhi, who rises with the wind in one day and shakes up 90,000 li, and he is also a middle-aged frustrated abandoner who abandons me, yesterday's day cannot be left, those who mess with my heart, today's day is more troubled, or in his old age, everything is empty and happy to have a glass of wine in front of him, why should he be behind a thousand years. The moonlight of the Sheng Tang is still shining on today's people, and Li Bai is no longer in the world, but it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Chinese language still exists for one day, then Li Bai can be eternal. It is difficult to say whether Sheng Tang made Li Bai or Li Bai wrote Sheng Tang, but Sheng Tang and Li Bai have become the white moonlight in people's hearts, and we always talk about the story of Li Bai.
Then let's take advantage of the moonlight poetry wine, and then talk about how the immortals are drunk and crumple the white clouds indiscriminately. In 701 AD, Li Bai was born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, and Li Bai's mother poured chicken soup on him since he was a child, saying that he was not an ordinary man, but the reincarnation of Taibai Jinxin, and he would have great achievements in the future. Li Bai has been full of chicken soup since he was a child, coupled with the rich side of his family, so his self-confidence burst and he decided that he was not a thing in the pool, and when Li Bai was five years old, the Li family migrated from the Western Regions to Mianzhou, Shudi, which is now Jiangyou Youth Township, Sichuan, and Wu Zetian also died in this year. In terms of talent, Li Bai has absolute self-confidence, after all, reading is like playing, Li Bai himself wrote that he gave Liujia at the age of five, watched hundreds of schools at the age of ten, and watched his books at the age of fifteen, and made Fu Ling Xiang. Because there was really nothing challenging about reading, Li Bai spent more of his time practicing swords, searching for immortals, collecting medicines, and asking. How to say that he is also under Taibai Jinxing, and strives to return to the immortal world as soon as possible.
In fact, Li Bai's ultimate goal in life is to become an immortal, followed by governing the country and leveling the world, and becoming an imperial master. As for writing poetry, that's just a piggyback business. In order to ask about the search for immortals, Li Bai began to travel around at the age of 15 and visit famous mountains, of course, this is also inseparable from his family's strong financial support. Sichuan was originally famous for many mountains, Li Bai walked up to Emei, listened to the old monk playing the guqin, like Wan Yuan Songtao playing, casually wrote that the Shu monk hugged the green qi, kneeled Emei Peak, waved for me, like listening to Wan Yan Song. Li Bai wrote poetry, when it really seemed to be caught from the void, it did not need to be polished, it was natural, and it was really a matter of carrying hands. And Li Bai writes wherever he goes, which is the same as we now go to travel to send a circle of friends, belonging to recording a good life, for example, he walked into the cloudy mountains and forests, and wrote "When the tree body sees Luxi Wu does not hear it" short two lines, to have a picture, to have a mood, and to accurately step on the aesthetics of people in different eras. If you want to say that this is not the work of immortals, I don't believe it.
Of course, the young Li Bai walks in the rivers and lakes, in addition to being rich and powerful, he also has a sword fighting body. As for how high Li Bai's swordsmanship and martial arts are, this is difficult to verify, after all, most of the existing records are written by himself, such as "honoring a glass of wine, killing in the city", and "getting out of the white blade, killing in the red dust". According to statistics, the word sword appeared in a total of 118 Li Bai poems included in all Tang poems, and it was properly seen to reach people. Anyway, Li Bai's temper is definitely not small, and it is also a high probability event to have fought with people. However, one thing is certain, Li Bai's reputation in swordsmanship is not small, after all, he has accepted a disciple called Wu Evil, since he can open a sect, regardless of the level of martial arts, the name must be loud enough. As for the familiar phrase "kill one person in ten steps, leave no line for thousands of miles", it is an allusion that Li Bai took from "Zhuangzi Says the Sword". At the age of 17, Li Bai studied with the hermit Dong Yanzi as a teacher, learned longitudinal and horizontal arts, and began a secluded life in Dai Tianshan.
At the age of 24, Li Bai felt that he had reached the bottleneck when he asked, and it was better to go down the mountain first and become a prime minister in the world to benefit the people. So in 725 AD, Li Bai went out of Shu and went to the country with a sword, and traveled far away. He set off from Qingxi, Sichuan, and traveled east by boat along the Yangtze River. Li Bai is a "social cow" who loves to make friends wherever he goes, of course, he is also willing to consult powerful and famous people and accumulate contacts for himself. Because Li Bai came from a merchant family, the road of the examination could not be passed, and he could only become an official by recommendation. On the eastbound boat, Li Bai looked at the mountains and wilderness of the Yangtze River, and he wrote "Farewell to the Gate of Crossing Jingmen": "The mountains end with the plains, and the river enters the great wilderness." "If you pass Dongting Lake along the road, you must check in. Write a poem "And on the moonlight of the cave court, the river boat buys wine and white clouds". When I arrived in Lushan, it coincided with the rainy season. Guan the wonders of the waterfall in the clouds and mist, wrote "the flying stream fell three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days". Regarding whether the Lushan Waterfall has 3,000 feet, I also went to study the height difference of the Lushan Incense Burner Peak Waterfall is 150 meters, about 50 stories high, although it is not 3,000 feet, but it is also spectacular. In the spring of 726, Li Bai arrived in Yangzhou. This year, Li Bai made friends, toured the mountains and rivers, and spent money like flowing water, and there was not much left of the 300,000 money he brought from Sichuan. In the autumn, Li Bai became ill again and began to feel homesick, so he wrote "Silent Night Thoughts", "looking up at the bright moon and looking down at his hometown." When his illness was slightly better, Li Bai ran to Anlu, Hubei again. When passing through Chenzhou, I visited Li Yong, a big man in the literary and art world, and Li Bai, who had studied vertical and horizontal arts, blew at Li Yong, which probably means, Li Yong, you listen well, standing in front of you is Li Taibai, a master of swordsmanship and social networking under Taibai Jinxing, quickly recommend me to the emperor and govern the country and the world. Where had Li Yong seen such an arrogant young man, and he sent Li Bai away in three or two sentences. This made Li Bai very unhappy, so he wrote the first "Shangli Yong", "Dapeng rose with the wind in one day and soared up to 90,000 li." Xuan's father can still fear the afterlife, and the husband can not be young and young", which means that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, do not bully the young man and be poor, walk and see, you see if I can stir up the storm in the future. Li Bai arrived in Hubei and met Meng Haoran, a poet who was already famous all over the world. Although Li is more than ten years younger than Meng Haoran, the two talked very happily, drank wine and poetry, and toured Hubei scenic spots together, and finally the two parted at the Yellow Crane Tower, and Li Bai also wrote the famous "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the West, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March".
In 727, 26-year-old Li Bai lived in seclusion in Anlu, Hubei, and he also met Miss Qianjin Xu, a family of officials and eunuchs. The talented Li Bai tugged at Miss Xu's heartstrings, the two got married, and Li Bai also became a son-in-law. Until the age of 30, Li Bai was gnawing his wife in Anlu. Although the life of nibbling his wife is very comfortable, Li Bai's heart has long drifted to Chang'an. His wife Xu Shi also saw Li Bai's thoughts, so he took out his family to Li Bai as a coil, let him go to Chang'an to fulfill his dream, Bai did not want to live up to his wife's painstaking efforts, secretly determined that this time to go to Chang'an to make a name. When Li Bai arrived in Chang'an, he initially wanted to visit Princess Yuzhen, the younger sister of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but Princess Yuzhen's whereabouts were uncertain, and Li Bai waited for months to no avail. Later, his friend Yuan Danqiu of the Taoist Academy invited Li Bai to visit Songshan, and it happened that Zeng visited this place, and the three traveled together, drinking and having fun every day. Slightly drunk, Li Bai waved his pen, and "Will Enter the Wine" splashed out of ink. "The ancient sages were lonely, and only the drinker kept his name. Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and spend the night with Er." It's just that Li Bai has been fooling around in Chang'an for a while, making no progress, and he thinks very lightly about money, and soon spends all the money on his body. But fortunately, Li Bai has many friends and can gnaw at his friends. Li Bai himself described his days in Chang'an at that time, "gold and white buy songs and laughter, and get drunk and the prince of the Qing Dynasty."
A year later, Li Bai returned to Anlu, Hubei Province in discouragement, until 735 AD, 34-year-old Li Bai entered Chang'an City again, presented a poem to Princess Yuzhen, and was appreciated by Princess Yuzhen, and also met the literary tycoon He Zhizhang in the Ziji Palace, Li Bai took out "Wuxi Qu" with his left hand, "When Gusutai went to Wuxi, the palace of King Wu was drunk Xi Shi", and his right hand took out "Shu Road Difficulty" "48,000 years old, not connected with Qin Sai", the overwhelming talent directly suffocated He Zhizhang, and suddenly felt that Sheng Tang poetry was planted everywhere, only in the daylight, Directly gave Li Bai the title of "Immortal". Li Bai also felt that he finally met Bo Le, Li and He were both well-known wine immortals, met to drink, and when it came to the checkout, He Zhizhang found that he didn't bring money. So He Zhizhang untied the golden turtle bag representing his official grade as wine money, and the golden turtle for wine has become a good story for thousands of years. Although Li Bai entered the upper echelons of the ruling class in Chang'an this time, Princess Yuzhen and He Zhizhang also promised to recommend him as an official. But Li Bai stayed in Chang'an for three years, and there was still no result. Later, his wife Xu Shi died of illness, and he returned to Anlu.
In 742 AD, under the repeated encouragement of Princess Yuzhen and He Zhizhang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang read Li Bai's poems and admired them very much, feeling that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty that he had created now had to be written by ancestors like Li Bai. Emperor Xuanzong ordered Li Bai to enter the palace, and when Li Bai in Shandong received the edict, he suddenly felt that this was his own storm, and wrote with a big laugh, "Go out laughing up to the sky, I will be a Penghao person", and went to Chang'an to become the prime minister. When he arrived at the Daming Palace, Li Bai was indeed treated with great courtesy by Emperor Xuanzong, and Emperor Xuanzong greeted him step by step, gave food in front of him with the Seven Treasures Bed, and personally mixed the soup, which was also the highlight of Li Bai's life. However, Li Bai did not become a high official as he wished, but enshrined Hanlin and became Emperor Xuanzong's imperial pen writer, specializing in recording the good life of the emperor. In 743 AD, in the late spring, the peonies in Xingqing Pond opened very well, and Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan appreciated the peonies together, called Li Guinian to play music, and found Li Bai, who was slightly drunk, to fill in the words. Li Bai saw the noble concubine dancing in the peony flowers in the haze, and the fairy music fluttering, which is probably the appearance of Sheng Tang. The immortal wrote "Qing Ping Tuo", "Yun wants to wear clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the sword Revlon". If it weren't for the jade mountain, he would meet Yaotai Yue. Peony, Li Bai, Yang Guifei, Tang Minghuang's time and space were frozen by "Qing Ping Tuo" at that moment, and Li left us with the Sheng Tang that we can reverie infinitely, and this has also become a curtain call performance of Sheng Tang. The days of being a writer in the Hanlin Academy could not realize Li Bai's ideals, and Li Bai, who was idle and accustomed, became more and more unwilling to be restrained, and bought drunk and drunk with He Zhizhang and others every day, and Emperor Xuanzong did not go when summoned, Du Fu wrote in "Eight Immortal Songs in Drinking", "Li Bai fights wine and poetry, Chang'an world wine family sleeps, the Son of Heaven does not come to the ship, claiming that the minister is the immortal in wine." And Li Bai's casual style also offended many people, and there is no reliable historical support for the widely circulated things such as Colix taking off his boots and Yang Guozhong grinding ink. Of course, Emperor Xuanzong must have heard a bad voice about Li Bai, and decided to let Li Bai leave, and the money was returned, which can be regarded as giving Li Bai enough cards. Li Bai, who flew out of the Daming Palace, returned to the rivers and lakes, mountains and wilderness, and Fang Jue was free. In the summer of 744, in the eastern capital Luoyang, two of the greatest people in the history of Chinese literature met, 43-year-old Li Bai met 32-year-old Du Fu. Li Bai was not proud of his fame all over the world, and Du Fu, who was not famous, did not blindly bow his head and praise, and the two became friends. Of course, it is a fact that Du Fu worshiped Li Bai, after all, he wrote many poems in his life "Winter with Li Bai", "Spring Memories of Li Bai", and "Dream Li Bai Two" to express his admiration. In his eyes, Li Bai is also "a pen that has fallen through the storm, poetry has become a weeping ghost, and Bai is also invincible in poetry, floating in thought". As for Li Bai's writing to Du Fu, he really did not write many poems, nor did he write to Meng Haoran as affectionately as he wrote to Meng Haoran, "I love Meng Fuzi, and the wind is under the sky", or he wrote to Wang Changling's "I send my sorrow and bright moon, follow the wind until the night Langxi". But this does not mean that Li Bai is cold to Du Fu, on the contrary, after Li Du separated in Luoyang, he also agreed to meet next time in Liang and Song, which is now Shangqiu and Kaifeng, and went to visit Dao to find immortals together. In the autumn of the same year, Li Dudu went to the appointment on time, this time adding the great poet Gao Shi, and the three traveled hand in hand, talking about poetry and drinking. In the same year, this also became a matter of interest for literature lovers. It was not until autumn and winter communication that the three separated, and Li Bai ran alone to the Ziji Palace in the Jinan area of Shandong and officially became a Taoist priest. By the way, Li Bai's number "Green Lotus Jushi" is derived from the Buddhist text of "Green Lotus" in the "Vimala Sutra", which is the same source as Wang Wei's number "Maha Jushi", but it is a pity that the two Li Wang who are similar in age did not become friends.
In the autumn of 745, Li Du and the two met for the third time in Eastern Lu and played together until winter. So if Li Bai is cold to Du Fu, or that he doesn't have deep feelings, this can't be said, he made two appointments in more than a year, each time playing for several months, and if the relationship is average, he can't make such a date. In 755, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Wang Wei was invited by An Lushan to Luoyang, Du Fu was displaced, and even Li Bai, who lived in seclusion in Lushan, was affected. When Li Lingsangu Maolu, the king of Yong, asked Li Bai to come out of the mountain, Li Bai learned that Emperor Xuanzong had fled in a hurry, Yang Guifei was forced to die in Ma Huangpo, and then the crown prince was proclaimed emperor in Gansu, and earth-shaking changes took place in the world, and Sheng Tang had withered. Li Bai was moved by King Yong's sincerity and decided to change the world with him and fulfill his dream of becoming an imperial master. The 56-year-old wrote with great ambition, "But when I used Dongshan Xie An, I talked about the mirror lake sand for Jun." Li Bai compared himself to Xie An's ability to assist King Yong in his imperial career, but three months later, King Yong's army was annihilated, and among the generals who conquered King Yong was his former friend Gao. Li Bai was also caught as a rebel and rebelled, basically implicating the family's capital crime. But fortunately, Li Bai had made many friends before, and under the operation of personal connections, Li Bai was not only spared the death penalty, but also got a shogunate job. But in 758, the imperial court began to liquidate the rebellion of the Anshi Rebellion. Li Bai was sentenced to exile in Yelang, which is now Guizhou. The road to Yelang is very long, Li Bai is also 57 years old, I thought that this trip was the end of my life, but I walked to the White Emperor City and met the imperial court to grant amnesty to the world. Li Bai was a brilliant person who gave a little sunshine, and he was extremely optimistic and wrote that "among the colorful clouds of the emperor of the dynasty, thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the strait cannot stop crying, and the light boat has passed through ten thousand mountains." Like Su Shi, Li Bai is the kind of person who can find happiness in any difficulty. This is probably the reason why the two top streams of the Tang and Song dynasties are sought after.
Li Bai was adrift in addition to seclusion all his life, and even in the last years of his life, he did not stop. In 762, when 61-year-old Li Bai fell ill and could not travel far, he gave his manuscript to his uncle Li Yangbing. As for Li Bai's death, there is no definite conclusion, but I would like to believe that he jumped into the water to catch the moon and left after drinking slightly drunk on the river. I also believe that Li Bai held that moon, after all, he is a "fairy", he is not. After Li Bai left the world, there were two rounds of moons in the world, one from Sheng Tang to the present person's face, and the other round shining in people's hearts. That "Immortal Man" became the white moonlight in the hearts of many people. "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked in the hand, and they dare not speak loudly, fearing the people in the sky." Li Bai has never left, I don't believe you listen to that three-year-old child with silent night thoughts in his mouth.
