Li Bai hasn't worked much in his life. He travels all day. Why is he rich?

Li Bai's life is free and easy. He hardly plays or is going to play, and he has almost traveled all over the country. It is precisely because he has traveled many places that his creative inspiration is endless.

If Li Bai had been behind closed doors all day, there would not have been so many well-known poems handed down to this day.

To tell the truth, if I can have another chance to choose, I would also like to choose Li Bai. It is pleasant to think about his little life. Of course, there are many Li Bai-style characters now, but unfortunately I'm not.

Being a Li Bai-style figure is actually very simple. As long as you have an economic foundation, you can travel all day without working.

Then the problem is coming. Li Bai has never worked much in his life, but he can travel all day. So where does his money come from and how to ensure his daily expenses?

If you want to answer this question in one sentence, it is that Li Bai is never short of money. Relying on father, wife and friends is Li Bai's three magic weapons. Li Bai's life is really beautiful. Let's take a look together.

Second,

Li Bai's life story has always been a mystery. By rights, he was a celebrity. It should not be difficult to pull his life story, but no one can prove who Li Bai's ancestors really are.

According to the New Tang Book, Li Bai is said to be the ninth generation grandson of Liang Wangwu. According to this statement, Li Bai and Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong are of the same clan. In addition, some people say that Li Bai's grandfather was Li Chengjian or Li Yuanji, which is controversial.

Since it can't be traced back to Li Bai's ancestors, let's talk about Li Bai's father, Li Ke.

In fact, Li Ke's life story is not recorded in detail, and even what Li Ke does, no one can make it clear, but one of them has been recognized by many people.

That is, Li Ke is an out-and-out wealthy businessman, such as famous scholars Guo Moruo, Yao Yao and Zhan Ying.

According to Mr. Guo Moruo, he thinks that the business scale of Li Hakka is very large, at least in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, Li Bai is also known as "Li Twelve", which also shows that Li Bai has a large number of brothers and a huge family. Some of Li Bai's poems hint at his family background.

Therefore, Mr. Guo Moruo wrote in the book Li Bai and Du Fu:

Li ke must be a rich businessman, otherwise he could not have taken so many people on a long trip.

It can also be understood that Li Bai was able to travel around in his early years because of his superior family environment. To put it bluntly, he relied on the skill of his father Li Ke.

Third,

There is no way to verify Li Ke's death, but what is certain is that Li Bai was not short of money before he was twenty-seven. He traveled so many places and almost never worried about money.

When Li Bai was twenty-seven, he began to worry about his livelihood. Perhaps at this time, his father Li Ke left him little property.

In this case, Li Bai made a decision that he can't even lift his head now-adoption.

Li Bai's first wife was Xu Shi, when her family background was very strong. Her grandfather, Xu Jie Shi, was once the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his family background was naturally very rich, so Li Bai lived a comfortable life with no worries about food, clothing and travel.

But the good times didn't last long. His wife Xu Shi died of illness, and Li Bai's life was lost.

Li Bai was in a hurry and couldn't be idle, because he wanted to find someone to take over, so through unremitting efforts, Li Bai found a granddaughter of the prime minister, who was the granddaughter of Zong Chuke, the former prime minister of Tang Gaozong.

Li Bai has found two well-off wives in succession, which is unacceptable. This shows that sometimes, literary talent is really edible.

Fourth,

There is also an enviable love story between Li Bai and the imperial clan, which is the famous allusion that a daughter buys a wall.

Here's the story. When Li Bai traveled to Liangyuan in Songzhou, he wrote a poem on a wall with the help of Liangyuan historic site. After seeing it, a monk thought that the dark pressure on the wall was too bad for beauty, so he thought of painting the wall again.

It happened that the monks came here, and after reading this poem written by Li Bai, they felt the charm of heaven and earth from it, so they said to the monks, don't wipe it off, I bought this wall.

So he ordered someone to go home and get 1000 silver and bury the wall written by Li Bai.

The news that Miss Zong's daughter bought a wall spread like wildfire, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the ancient city of Liangyuan. Li Bai has naturally heard of it. He was so excited that he felt that this opportunity could not be missed, so he asked his colleague Du Fu about Miss Zong's deeds.

After Du Fu's introduction, Li Bai was ecstatic. Later, through the matchmaking of Gao Shi, Li Bai and Miss Zong got married, and Li Bai lived a carefree life from then on.

After all, since Miss Zong is willing to spend 1200 on a wall, her wealth is naturally unusual.

Five,

Unfortunately, Miss Zong failed to accompany Li Bai through his life. After Zong died, Li Bai's living standard suddenly returned to before liberation, but Li Bai was not young at this time, so it was not easy to find a job.

But then again, Li Bai has been handsome for most of his life He will be surprised if you ask him to find a job.

Since he didn't want to work, life had to go on, so Li Bai thought of another way, that is, relying on the help of friends.

Li Bai likes making friends and drinking all his life. He basically has friends everywhere he goes. In this case, Li Bai is willing to write poems for his friends, and these friends are not stingy and help each other generously.

Like Wang Lun.

When Li Bai parted from him, he shouted: Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet, but not as good as Wang Lun's affection. It is estimated that Wang Lun will be moved to tears.

For example, Meng Haoran.

When Li Bai visited Meng Haoran's house, he found that this Mencius was really rich, so he said: I love Mencius, and your fame has risen to the sky. This flattery skill is really a "model" for the younger generation.

Li Bai wrote a lot of poems to his friends, but almost all of them were in the same tone, that is, he used his literary talent to make his friends happy, and then he could eat, drink and have fun for free and travel around the mountains.

Although Li Bai was unhappy in his later years, he was at least not hungry.

It can be seen that Li Bai has never worked much in his life, and he idles around all day. He is really not short of money. Depend on your father in your early years, your wife in your middle years, and your friends in your later years. Such Li Bai can be called "the king of soft rice".

But who makes Li Bai talented? He can eat soft rice because he is good enough, otherwise he won't eat soft rice.

Do you agree with this?
