- Li Bai
This is a well-known poem, and the author is also familiar with Li Bai, Li Bai is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poetry, and loves to make friends, so in the face of such a familiar person, do you know his family background?
Obviously not known, or little is known. I don't know if it is not our mistake, but about Li Bai's family background, there are very few records, even if we want to know, it is some uncertain answer, just like the proposition at the top.
Who is Li Bai's father? One of the answers that is more recognized by everyone is Li Ke, but this Li Ke is not from Li Bai's mouth, so it is also to be examined in terms of authenticity, Li Ke is Fan Chuanzheng embellished on its inscription, "Tang Zuo Shi Yi Hanlin Scholar Li Gongxin Tombstone and Preface" said that Li Bai's father was called Li Ke, saying: Guest to QiqiYi, so the name of the guest. Lie high in the cloud forest, do not seek Lu Shi.
Then, just by relying on an inscription, can we determine that Li Bai's father is called Li Ke? Therefore, Mr. Chen Yinke, in "The Doubts of the Li Taibai Clan", once retorted that the inscription written by Fan Chuanzheng was not convincing, and also explained that the reason why Li Bai's father was called Li Ke was because the people of the Western Regions did not know his name in Huaxia, because they were called Hu Ke. Here, Mr. Chen Yinke, based on Li Bai's ancestors as hu people in the Western Regions, deduced that Li Bai's ancestors had sneaked to the Western Regions because of their sins.
The important mention here is the word "channeling", which is explained in the sense of devaluation and exile.
Back to the main topic, where is the basis for these words? Obviously, people seem to understand, so in the face of this view, Mr. Guo Moruo once denied Mr. Chen Yinke's point of view in the book "Li Bai and Du Fu", and explained that after collecting a large amount of information, he did not find the fact that Li Baizu was in the Western Regions for his crimes.
Although there are words in the Caotang Collection that are not sinful in the middle leaf and who live in the tiaozhi, in ancient times (referring to the ancient to the middle ages) who moved from the Han people's settlement to the outside world can be said to be channeling or descending; moreover, the Tang Dynasty did not regard the vicinity of Ili as the land of the sinners (the land of the Tang Dynasty was mainly in Lingnan or Guizhou and Sichuan). Therefore, Li Bai's ancestors did not move to Shanye because of sin, but were forced by a certain social environment to go into exile on their own.
Since it is not exiled for sin, what kind of identity is it? Or, since it is not exile, how can we understand the aforementioned inscriptions? After all, the word "逋" in it means to flee, and the "guest" is naturally the person who flees. According to this explanation, were Li Bai's ancestors really exiled to the Western Regions for their sins?
The following early knowledge will talk about a point of view that I agree with, before saying that before we first explain the meaning of "Kuike", so as not to have doubts in the later reading, the word "Kuike" is not only an explanation, it can also be understood as a hermit, such as Geng Xiang's "Gift to Wei Shanren" poem: Frustrated into a guest, all year round alone. And Kong Zhigui's "Beishan Shifting Text" said: Please return to the common people to drive, for the Jun Xie Guest, here can be understood as "hidden, hidden, combined with the verse, obviously can not agree with Mr. Chen Yinke's point of view."
Therefore, Mr. Jiang Zhi explained in the article "Comments on the Theories of Li Bai's Family Lineage" that it is to interpret the passage that Fan Chuan is in "Li Gongxin's Tombstone and Preface" according to the extended meaning of "逋". He believes that Li Bai was born in a humble background, and his father was a Hermit of the Tao Yuanming style.
Secondly, although Li Baizu lived in the Western Regions for several generations, the cultural traditions of Huaxia have not been lost, and his father is also a person with high cultural attainment, so the meaning in the inscription can be understood as a hermit who saw through the red dust and only read the landscape, so Li Bai would be deeply affected by it.
Of course, although the above views are very reasonable, but about Li Bai's father, as well as some of the situations on Li Baizu, is not certain, or there is still something to be studied and explored, so in your heart, what kind of existence is Li Bai's father? Welcome to comment on your message!
