Translation:

Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is the ninth generation grandson of Huang. His ancestors were exiled to the western regions for crimes at the end of Sui Dynasty. In the early years of Shenlong, his ancestors fled from the western regions to live in Brazil (now Sichuan).

When Li Bai was born, his mother dreamed of Taibai Star, so she named him Taibai. At the age of ten, he read poetry books and lived in seclusion in Minshan when he grew up. At that time, a branch in his county recommended him, but he didn't respond. When Su Xiang was a long history of Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan), he saw Li Bai and felt that he was a different person. He said, "This young genius Intel can compete with others if he studies harder."

But Li Bai likes vertical and horizontal skills and fencing, wants to be a ranger, despises property and is willing to give alms. Li Bai lived in Rencheng (now Jining, Shandong Province), and lived in Yulai Mountain with Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, and Tao Mian, drinking and having fun all day. At that time, it was called "Zhu Xi's Six Solutions".

In the early years of Tianbao, Li Bonan swam to Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and became friendly with Wu Yun. Wu Yun was called to Beijing, so Li Bai also went to Chang 'an. Li Bai went to visit He; He saw his poem and said in surprise, "You are a fairy who descended from heaven to earth." Speaking of Li Bai in front of Xuanzong, Xuanzong summoned Li Bai in the Golden Temple to talk about contemporary events, and then Li Bai presented an ode. Tang Xuanzong gave Li Bai something to eat, personally scooped it up for him, and ordered him to give it to Hanlin.

Li Bai was still drunk with the drinkers in the market. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sat in Chenxiang Temple. Suddenly, he felt a little emotional and wanted Li Bai to write lyrics for him, so he called Li Bai into the palace. But Li Bai was drunk, so the attendants washed his face with water. When he was drunk, he picked up a pen and wrote it down. The lyrics are tactfully gorgeous and incisive, leaving no thoughts. Xuanzong liked his talent very much and invited him to several banquets.

Li Bai and Tang Xuanzong were drunk and asked Gao Lishi to take off his shoes. Gao Lishi has always been noble, taking off Li Bai's shoes as a shameful thing, so he accused Li Bai of mistakes in his poems to anger Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong wanted Li Bai to be an official, but Yang Guifei stopped him. Li Bai himself knew that he would not be tolerated by Xuanzong's closeness and became more and more unruly and bohemian. He, Li, Ruyang Wang, Cui Zongzhi, Zhang Xu and Jiao Sui are also called "Eight Immortals of Wine".

Li Bai earnestly asked to retire from the mountains, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also gave him money to go back. Li Bai wandered around. One night, he took a boat from Caiguji to Jinling by moonlight and Cui Zongzhi. He wore a palace robe given by the emperor and sat on the boat like no one was watching.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai moved between Susong and Kuanglu. Wang Yong Li Lin hired him as a behind-the-scenes assistant. When Wang Yong Li Lin started fighting, he fled back to Pengze. Wang Yong failed, and Li Bai should be beheaded according to the crime. At first, Li Bai traveled to Bingzhou and met Guo Ziyi. Li Bai thinks Guo Ziyi is a strange man. At that time, Guo Ziyi broke the law and Li Bai saved him, so he was not punished.

At this time, Guo Ziyi was willing to abolish his official position to atone for Li Bai, so the court issued a letter to exile Li Bai in Yelang for a long time. Coincided with the Amnesty, he returned to Yang and was jailed for one thing. At that time, Song Ruosi led Wu 3,000 soldiers to Henan. After looking for Yang, he released Li Bai and appointed him as the marching staff. It wasn't long before he resigned as a staff member. Li Ren Dangtu county magistrate, Li Bai to defect. After Dai Zong proclaimed himself emperor, Li Bai was appointed as Zuo Shiyi. By this time, however, Li Bai had passed away at the age of 60.

Li Bai loved the study of Huang Lao in his later years and came to Guzhu through the collection of Niu Zhu. He likes to leave home to visit the castle peak, and he also wants to die here. When he died, he was buried at the foot of the Shandong Mountain. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Fan worshiped Li Bais Tomb and ordered that firewood cutting and grazing were prohibited around Li Bais Tomb. Fan is visiting the descendants of Li Bai. Only two granddaughters are married to civilians as wives, and their behavior still maintains everyone's demeanor. They said sadly, "My ancestors wanted to be buried in the green hills and temporarily at the east foot. This is not his original idea. "

So Fan buried him in Castle Peak and set up two stone tablets. He also told Li Bai's two granddaughters to remarry to the cremation as wives; The second granddaughter said: I am lonely and committed to the common people. I'm afraid it's fate, and I don't want to remarry. Fan praised them and exempted their husbands from corvee.

In Tang Wenzong, Li Bai's songs and poems, Fei Min's sword dance and Zhang Xu's cursive script were collectively called "Three Musts".
