An interesting story about Li Bai

The name of Li Bai is an interesting thing.

It is said that Li Bai robbed a Book of Songs when he was one year old. His father was very happy and thought that his son might become a famous poet when he grew up, so he wanted to give Li Bai a good name so as not to be laughed at by future generations for his lack of learning. Because he is very careful in naming his son, the more careful he is, the more he can't think of it. It was not until Li Bai was seven years old that he thought of a suitable name. That spring, Li Bai's father said to his wife and children, "I want to write a quatrain of spring, and there are only two sentences. If you add one sentence to me, you can make do." One sentence is' spring breeze warms a hundred flowers', and the other is' spring is here'. "Mother thought for a long time and said," The apricot tree caught fire and the red cloud fell. "

When Li Bai and other mothers saw it, they didn't think about it. They pointed to the plum trees in full bloom in the courtyard and blurted out: "Plum flowers are in full bloom." Hearing this, the father clapped his hands and applauded. Sure enough, his son was a poet. The more he reads, the more he likes it. As he was reading, it suddenly occurred to him that the first word of the poem was not his surname. This last white word is really well used, saying that a plum blossom is as holy as snow. So he named his son Li Bai.
