Li Bai's ancestral home was in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin Andong, Gansu). He was born in the first year of Wu Zetian's Chang 'an (AD 70 1 year) and broken leaves (now near tokmak, Kyrgyzstan).

According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, he is the ninth grandson of Emperor Liang, and he is actually the same clan as the kings. When he was a child, Li Bai moved to Qinglian Township, Governor Long (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province) with his father Li Ke.

When he was young, he began to travel around China. Later, Li Bai dedicated it to the Hanlin in the first year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (AD 742). But his unruly character decided that he could not be tolerated by powerful people, so he left Chang 'an in less than two years.

Li Bai is middle-aged.

Later, he met Du Fu, another famous poet in China in the Tang Dynasty, and became good friends. After the An Shi Rebellion broke out, in February 65438 +756, Li Bai was invited as Wang Yong's assistant to quell the rebellion.

After Wang Yong angered Tang Suzong and was killed, Li Bai was also found guilty and imprisoned. Soon after, he was exiled to Yelang (now Tongzi, Guizhou). He was pardoned in exile at the age of 59.

3. Li Bai's later years

Li Bai roamed the south of the Yangtze River in his later years. At the age of 6 1, I heard that Qiu Li Guangbi led a great army to crusade against Anshi rebels, so he went north to join the army with Li Guangbi to kill the enemy, but turned back because of illness.

The following year, Li Bai went to his uncle Li, who was then the county magistrate of Dangtu (now Anhui). In June of the same year, Li Bai died in his apartment at the age of 62.

Character story:

In 744 AD, that is, in the third year of Tianbao, Li Bai was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was named Hanlin. He followed and served at Tang Xuanzong's side at all times. Li Bai's luck was envied by many people at that time. They vilified Li Bai in front of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

So Li Bai was pushed out of the court by them and finally far away from the political center. Li Bai, who was frustrated in the officialdom, was heartbroken and could not solve the anguish in his heart, so he had to travel far. When passing through longxing temple, I fell ill with a cold at the Wang Lun Hotel.

At that time, Li Bai's name was famous all over the world, and his master Wang Lun admired Li Bai and took good care of him. Wang Lun's daughter Yuelian is very considerate of Li Bai. Soon, Li Bai's condition improved, and the shopkeeper Wang Lun specially gave a banquet to celebrate.

After being ill for many days and pouring a glass of wine, Li Bai felt fragrant and elegant, and there was a hole in the sky, so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath of wine. After a long time, he asked Wang Lun, "I have traveled all over the north and south of the Tang Dynasty for nothing, and I have never drunk such exquisite and elegant wine. Dare to ask the shopkeeper what this wine is made of? "

Wang Lun said: "Don't lie to Brewmaster. There is no other way to make wine in the shop. Just add lotus seeds and plums to the wine." After listening, Li Bai only said a wonderful word and drank it at once.

Lian Yue also poured a glass for Li Bai. Li Bai drank it and asked, "How dare you ask Wang Zhanggui? Such a wonderful wine must have a beautiful name!" Wang Lun said shyly, "It's just wine. What else can it have? "

Clever Lian Yue knew in her heart that Li Bai must have come up with the name of this wine, so she poured another glass and said, "Little girl dared to ask the great poet of Brewmaster to give this wine a nice name!"

Li Bai smiled heartily and said, "Just call Lotus Bar!" And posted the book in front of the Wang Lun Hotel on the spot. Li Bai was withdrawn by nature, indulged in mountains and rivers, and showed mercy everywhere, but at this time he was incompetent and frustrated, and frequently showed his love for the moon and lotus, so he had to play dumb.

In order to avoid a big sleep, one morning, Li Bai quietly left Wang Lun Hotel, boarded the ferry and prepared to go west to Chang 'an. The paddle song was light, and I was about to set sail when I heard the sonorous songs on the shore, which touched the world and sang the couplets written by Li Bai.

It turned out that Wang Lun's father and daughter learned that Li Bai had left without saying goodbye and brought ten altars of lotus wine to see him off. Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Bai looked around for peach trees and wrote the famous farewell poem "To Wang Lun". Perhaps, Li Bai's "feeling" at this moment is not Wang Lun's "seeing off", but a tearful, reluctant "moon lotus feeling".
