    One of the rebels of the Demon Knight, Li Bai, is one of the guardians of the Demon Knight. When the peerless King Xiaoyao traveled around the world, Li Bai admired his way of life and his evil temperament.)

    Li Bai (701-762), courtesy name Taibai and Qinglian Jushi, was a poet of the Tang Dynasty in China. He was a native of Changlong County, Mianzhou, Jiannan Road (now Jiangyou, Sichuan Province), and his ancestral home was Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province).

    There are titles such as Poet Immortal, Poet Hero, Wine Immortal, and Immortal Immortal. He is recognized as the most outstanding romantic poet in Chinese history.  Li Bai and Du Fu are collectively known as Li Du, and the others known as Xiao Li Du are Li Shangyin and Du Mu.

    His works are unconstrained, romantic and unrestrained, with strange artistic conceptions and brilliant talents; his poems are like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if they were made in heaven.

    Li Bai's poems have been recited for thousands of years, and many of his poems have become classics, such as cutting off the water with a knife and making the water flow again, and raising a cup to relieve sorrow and make it more sorrowful.

    Li Bai¡¯s artistic achievements in poetry are considered the pinnacle of Chinese romantic poetry.  Li Bai's poems are included in Volumes 161 to 180 of the Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty.  There is "Collection of Li Taibai" handed down from generation to generation.

    Li Bai received enlightenment education when he was young. Starting from the first year of Jingyun (710), Li Bai began to read the historical records of various scholars.  In the third year of Kaiyuan (715) - he likes writing fuss, swordsmanship, strange books, and immortals: during the fifteenth year, he observed strange books and wrote fu Ling Xiangru.

    In his youth, he began to travel throughout China.  Around the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Li Bai studied under Zhao Rui, who wrote the Long and Short Classics, for more than a year. This period of study had a profound impact on Li Bai.

    In the sixth year of Kaiyuan, he studied at Daming Temple in Daitian Mountain.  At the age of 25, he left Sichuan alone and began to roam extensively, from Dongting to the Xiangjiang River in the south, to Wu and Yue in the east, and lived in Anlu (today's Anlu City, Hubei Province) and Yingshan (today's Guangshui City, Hubei Province).

    It is said that his "Qing Ping Tiao" offended Concubine Yang Guifei, who was favored in the harem at that time (because Li Bai ordered Li Shi to take off his boots. Gao Lishi was so ashamed that he used words to induce Concubine Yang Guifei to think that Fei Yan Yixin was pitiful.  Zhuang's few words are to ridicule her) and are not allowed in the palace.

    Later, he met two other famous poets, Du Fu and Gao Shi, in Luoyang and became good friends.

    Li Bai created a large number of poetry works throughout his life, more than 900 of which have been handed down to this day, mainly including "The Road to Shu is Difficult", "The Journey is Difficult", "About Wine", "Thoughts on a Quiet Night", etc., and "The Collection of Li Taibai".

    His poetry creation covers a wide range of themes of Chinese classical poetry, and famous works appeared on many themes. Due to different circumstances, his poetic style in his early years and his later years were very different.

    Li Bai is good at many poetry genres.  He has left masterpieces in various genres.  Li Bai was fond of ancient style poetry and was good at seven-character songs, five-character ancient style and Yuefu poems.

    In the modern poetry genre, Li Bai is good at five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains.  Li Bai wrote relatively few verses, with dozens of five-character verses and only a dozen or so seven-character verses.  But there are also masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, such as "Ascending the Phoenix Tower of Jinling".

    There are two Ci poems that have not yet become popular in the Tang Dynasty that are considered to be Li Bai's works, namely "Bodhisattva Man" and "Recalling Qin E", which Huang Sheng of the Southern Song Dynasty called the ancestor of Ci and music for a hundred generations.  There are also a few people who suspect that Li Bai did not do it.

    Li Bai's poetic style is romantic and all-encompassing, inheriting the poetic revolution advocated by Chen Ziang and opposing the formalism since the Southern Qi Dynasty and Xiao Liang Dynasty.  Sweep away the wind of weakness and splendor since the Southern Dynasties.  No matter in content or form, Tang poetry has been creatively developed.

    Li Shi is full of personality and has a strong subjective expression.  The content shows contempt for vulgarity, resistance and a rebellious spirit that does not flatter the powerful. It praises knights and immortals, and is known as the Immortal Poetry.  Later generations also called him the poet Li Bai.

    Li¡¯s poems are rich in imagination and unique in structure.  Extremely exaggerated, vivid metaphors, and using a lot of myths and legends.

    Li Shi sings about the majestic nature, is good at describing and singing about the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and is bold and unrestrained. He disdains the subtle carvings and parallel arrangements, but uses bold and unpredictable techniques and lines to write down the impressions and emotions in his mind.  Create a distinct image of art and an extremely majestic style.

    Li Bai is good at using the language of Yuefu folk songs, with few embellishments, and is natural and straightforward.  The use of Yuefu spirit and folk song language has reached an extremely mature and liberating stage.

    He Zhizhang praised Li Bai: The heaven banished the immortal.

    Du Fu had a high opinion of Li Bai, praising his poems that shocked the wind and rain, wept ghosts and gods, and were invincible and outstanding.

    In the 10th year of Zhenyuan (794), Yuan Zhen wrote "A Hundred Rhymes for the Old Man in Qujiang", which contains lines about Li and Du's poems about enemies.  Yuan Zhen was the first person in the history of Chinese learning to combine the honors of Li and Du.  In the eighth year of Yuanhe, when Yuan Zhen wrote an epitaph for Du Fu, he said that Li Shang could not live up to his vassal status. How could this be so weird?  Yuan Zhen is considered to be the first sister of Li and Du's theory of superiority and inferiority.

    Li Yangbing praised Li Bai in the "Preface to the Thatched Cottage Collection": He has been alone for thousands of years, but he is only a public person.

    Han Yu highly praised Li Bai; in "Tiao Zhang Ji" it was said that Li Duzhang was here, Guang?Ten thousand feet long; in "Song of Stone Drums", he also lamented that no one in Shaoling banished the immortals to death.

    Bai Juyi's poem "Li Bai's Tomb" paid homage to Li Bai's poor bones in Long Qiongquan, which was earth-shattering.  Bai Juyi suspected of slandering Li Du in "Nine Books of the Yuan Dynasty". The poet is known as Li Du in the world.  Li Zhizhi's works are so talented and extraordinary that they are incomparable to his elegance and elegance.  Du has the most poems, more than a thousand of which can be passed down. He is consummate in his work and surpasses Li.  However, the chapters of "Xin Lou" and "Shihao" are only thirty or forty years old.  If Du Shang is like this, why not be like Du Shang?

    Tang Zong issued an edict to call Li Bai's poetry, Pei Min's sword dance, and Zhang Xu's cursive script the Three Wonders.

    When Wang Anshi compiled "Collection of Poems of Four Schools", he put Li Bai in the background and said that Li Bai's poems did not change.  In this regard, Zhang Jie's "Suihantang Poetry Talk" defended Li Bai: Wang Jiefu said: There are many women in Bai's poems, and their knowledge is dirty.  Jiefu's argument has gone too far.  Confucius deleted three hundred poems, and more than half of them talked about women. How can it be said that knowledge and knowledge are dirty?

    Su Che, in "Five Matters of Poetry", believed that Li Bai's poems were similar to his character, bold and unrestrained, flashy, good deeds and famous, but ignorant of the meaning of justice.

    Li Bai is good at seven-character ancient poems and seven-character quatrains. His poems use rich materials, rich imagination, bold and unrestrained, and are the crown of Tang poetry.  Later poets such as Su Shi, Lu You and Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qi in the Ming Dynasty, and Gong Zizhen in the Qing Dynasty were deeply influenced by Li Bai's poetry.

    In 1976, the International Astronomical Union named the impact crater on Mercury located at 169¡ãn, 350¡ãw Libai Impact Crater.

    Related legends - According to "Fangyu Shenglan" written by Zhu Mu of the Song Dynasty, it is said that when Li Bai was studying in the Elephant Er Mountain, he wanted to give up without achieving any results. He crossed a stream and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle, so he asked her where to grind it.  What to do, the old woman replied, grind it into needles.  So Li Bai realized that perseverance in learning is like grinding an iron pestle into a needle, so he went back to study hard.

    There is a popular legend among the people that Li Bai drowned while fishing for the moon in the water when he was drunk. Because of this legend, he is revered as one of the sea gods and water fairy kings. It is believed that Li Bai can also protect sailors, fishermen and water trading merchants in another world.

    After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, in 756, Li Bai was invited to serve as an aide to King Yong Li Lin in order to quell the rebellion.

    After King Yong was angry and killed Suzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was also convicted and imprisoned.  Fortunately, Guo Ziyi saved him from death and moved to Yelang (today's Guanling County, Guizhou Province). He was pardoned while passing through Wushan. He was already 59 years old.  Li Bai wandered around the south of the Yangtze River in his later years.

    When he was 61 years old, he heard that Lieutenant Li Guangbi was leading an army to attack the Anshi rebels, so he went north to follow Li Guangbi and join the army to kill the enemy, but he turned back due to illness on the way.

    The next year, Li Bai defected to his uncle Li Yangbing, who was the county magistrate of Dangtu (now Ma'anshan, Anhui Province).  In the same year, Li Bai died of illness in his residence at the age of 61 and was buried in Tulongshan.

    In the twelfth year of Yuanhe (817) of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Chuanzheng, the observer of Xuanshechi, moved his tomb to Qingshan Dangtu according to Li Bai¡¯s last wish to stay in Qingshan.

    There are many theories about the cause of Li Bai¡¯s death.

    Li Yangbing said in "Preface to Thatched Cottage Collection" that Li Bai died of illness.  Pi Rixiu once wrote "Li Hanlin's Poems" and said: He suffered from rotting and threatening disease, and his drunken soul returned to the eight extremes.  It is pointed out that Li Bai died of rotten disease.

    According to the "Old Book of Tang", although Li Bai was pardoned during his exile, he died of drunkenness in Xuancheng due to excessive drinking on the way.  "New Book of Tang" records that after Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he summoned Li Bai with Zuo Shiyi, but Li Bai had passed away.

    There is another legend that says he was admiring the moon in a boat and died because he went into the water to fish for the moon.  In folk fortune-seeking activities, there is also Taibai fishing for a fortune from the moon to draw fortunes for others.
