Is Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, actually a "dangerous young man"?

Tan, a doctor of literature in Peking University, published a book about Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. The title of the book is a record of Li Bai, the first thief in the Tang Dynasty. He called Li Bai a hooligan. According to himself, the so-called gangster is a gangster, which means that Li Bai was the number one gangster in the Tang Dynasty. This conclusion was "verified" by others. Let alone his "textual research". The title of the book is quaint enough. In my opinion, Dr. Tan has worked hard for more than 20 years, trying his best to churn out a book, doing some gimmicks, advertising and hype, which is totally understandable and better than those who rely on the lower body to write. However, it's enough for you to get a "title party" trick to attract attention, but in the name of academics, you also made an own goal on the content of the book, which will mislead other people's children. This paper only gives a few representative examples cited by Dr. Tan to see how he "demonstrated" that Li Bai was "the first endangered teenager in Datang". Dr. Tan said that Li Bai is a young and dangerous person. The most important example is Li Bai's own poem, which means that Li Bai "confessed" himself. How could he be wrong? According to the doctor, Li Bai admitted in the poem "Xiangyang gives my brother a little rich" that when he was young, he not only made friends with gangs, but also "Li Bai's ideal" was "chopping people with a knife in downtown"! What the hell is going on here? For the convenience of readers, the full text of this poem is quoted as follows: I don't know anything, but I did my best/but Qin didn't reward me. Saving is a merit/festival, returning farmland to Lingdong/returning to unemployment, causing troubles such as loosening/falling out of favor once, in vain/being provoked by swordsmen, going out badly/Brother Qingyun is ignorant. Li Bai's poems are slightly different due to different versions. The version I quoted doesn't have the sentence of Li Bai slashing people with a knife, but Dr. Tan has a wide range of knowledge. You can't deny that he did see another version. That version does have four sentences: "Holding the white blade, killing the world of mortals, respecting the British style all over the world." It turns out that Dr. Tan said that "Li Bai's ideal" is "taking it in the downtown area". Isn't this a joke? As we all know, most of the "scholars" who were interested in serving the country in ancient times liked to wear swords. Han Xin and Yue Fei, which one didn't leave a book and a sword? A sword, that's a very fashionable thing! That sword is a symbol, which is used by them to express their determination and ambition to take evil as right. Of course, since they wear a sword, I hope it is useful, so they often use this sword to talk about things in poems, expressing their ambition to serve the country and care for the people. Because it is literature and art, exaggeration is allowed. Just because there is the word 10 in Li Bai's poem, it can't be said that Li Bai is really going to kill someone! That just expressed his determination to fight evil to the end. Just like Yue Fei's impassioned cry in Man Jiang Hong, can you say that Yue Fei really wants to eat human flesh? In fact, Li Baiquan's poems are not what Dr. Tan said at all. Editor's note: Gangster is a slang term in Cantonese, which originally meant smart, eccentric, rebellious and loyal young people. Later, with the spread of gangster movies in Hong Kong, it gradually evolved into a derogatory term. Zhao Zhijiang in today's literary world, "joking" is in the ascendant, and "consumption" has sprung up everywhere. The more famous an ancient celebrity is, the easier it is for him to be fried in other people's dishes. After all, "standing on the shoulders of giants" is really a great temptation. After Confucius and Zhuangzi, Li Bai finally escaped the tragic situation of "I am a fish". The colorful books with the ancients as their selling points are dazzling. Seeing those people who are extremely familiar but particularly strange in the book, you can't help but sigh, "What year is this evening?" Tan believes that Li Bai advocates chivalry, but chivalry has always been controversial in ancient times. On the positive side, he is an honest man, on the negative side, he is a rogue. Tan said that Li Bai boasted that he had done two things in the history of Shang 'an Peichang. The main idea of the poem is: I came out of Sichuan and went downstream to Weiyang (now Yangzhou). In less than a year, it cost more than 300 thousand. How to spend it? As long as any dude is down and out and has no money to eat, I'll take care of it-that's how the dark forces organize it. I'll take care of eating, drinking, living and transportation. Forget it. When I am in trouble, you must come to help. This shows that Li Bai is still very calculating, a dangerous young man and a leader. Re:rooler makes profits under the banner of denying all orthodoxy, which seems to be a "revolution". Actually, it's just speculation, which has nothing to do with real criticism. If there is, it is destruction. Passerby: Is Li Bai a young and dangerous man? What's the value? Publishers can't take an amazing name to attract everyone's attention for the sales of books. And a person who wants to be famous, for his own benefit, can't help but have a conscience. Huangsi200 1 It's not the first time in history that someone has belittled Li Bai for various purposes, is it? Is it demeaning for the old man to say that Li Bai is a young and dangerous man? I don't think so. Whether it's reduction or hype, it's a voice anyway. Different voices do not affect our appreciation of Li Bai's works. Two different things.
