Request high scores for Li Bai’s deeds (detailed)

Li Bai

His ancestral home is Chengji, Longxi (southwest of today's Jingning, Gansu Province). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ancestors lived in Suiye (near Tokmak, northern Kyrgyzstan). When he was young, he moved with his father to Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan). At the age of 25, he "said farewell to relatives and traveled far away" and left Shu with a sword. Tianbao initially served in the Imperial Academy, but was slandered by the powerful and left Chang'an in just over a year. During the Anshi Rebellion, he served as an aide to King Yong Lin. Because Lin was defeated in Xunyang Prison, he was banished to Yelang, but he was pardoned and returned to the east. In his later years, he went to his uncle Li Yangbing, who ordered him to Dangtu. He later died in Dangtu and was buried in Longshan. In the twelfth year of Tang Yuanhe (817), Fan Chuanzheng, the observer of Xuanshechi, moved his tomb to Qingshan according to Li Bai's last wish of "aiming at Qingshan" during his lifetime. There are thirty volumes of "Collected Works of Li Taibai" in circulation. Li Bai spent most of his life in the prosperous Tang Dynasty under Xuanzong's rule, that is, during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years. Among the more than 900 poems handed down by Li Bai, most of them clearly express his contempt for feudal aristocrats, his exposure of decadent politics, his sympathy for the suffering of the people, and his praise of the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. At the same time, due to the serious influence of feudal ruling ideology, many of Li Bai's works often reveal the negative emotions of Taoism, life is like a dream, carpe diem, and Confucianism, "if you are poor, you can live alone." Li Bai is a great poet along with Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty of my country. His poems have a majestic and bold style, rich imagination, natural language flow, and harmonious and changeable melodies. He is good at absorbing nutrients and materials from folk songs and myths to form his unique magnificent colors, which is a new peak of positive romantic poetry since Qu Yuan. All of his poems are excellent, among which he is best at seven-character songs and seven-character quatrains.

Li Ke has never been an official. He is a big businessman with great cultural accomplishments. He treats the children of his family very well. Very demanding. Li Bai was Li Ke's 12th son. He was very smart and studied very hard since he was a child. Li Ke loved him very much and trained him carefully.

When Li Bai was 5 years old, Li Ke guided him to recite the poems of Sima Xiangru, a famous writer in the Han Dynasty, and often said to him: "My son, you have to fight for our Li family. I hope you will also become a poet in the future." A man as accomplished as Sima Xiangru." Li Bai kept his father's earnest expectations in mind and determined to be a writer who surpassed Sima Xiangru.

When Li Bai was 10 years old, he began to write and study Ci Fu. He was very serious in his creation, carefully considering every word and every sentence. He remembered that when he was a boy, he was studying in Elephant Er Mountain in Meizhou. Once he skipped school and came back. He passed by a stream and saw an old lady grinding an iron pestle (a tool for pounding rice) beside the stream. Li Bai asked the old lady what she was grinding it for, and the old lady replied. He said: "Grind into a needle." Li Bai thought, if I study Ci and Fu, as long as I have this spirit, there will be no problem surpassing Sima Xiangru. (Li Bai has been a very smart child since he was a child. When he was 5 years old, little Li Bai was sitting in front of the window and started to recite famous articles from his predecessors loudly, shaking his head. In just two or three times, he could effortlessly recite Because Li Bai always did his homework well, the teacher liked Li Bai very much and often praised him in front of the children. However, Li Bai was also a playful child at that time, just like other children. , it is inevitable that he has some shortcomings. One day, while the teacher was still giving a lecture, he became distracted while listening. His big eyes stared out of the window, and his mind unexpectedly remembered the story of the golden carp that his mother told him last night. Li Bai thought: "Those little fish are so beautiful wearing clothes with golden scales, shining in the sunlight. But will their beauty attract bad guys? If they are caught, they will not be able to be free. The ground is swimming, how pitiful. "Look, Li Bai began to fall into the fantasy world he had spun. The teacher saw Li Bai's stunned look and knew that he was not paying attention to the class, so he stopped the get out of class and said angrily: "Li Bai, Stand up and repeat what I just said." Li Bai suddenly woke up and stood up hurriedly, but couldn't say a word. "The students are all laughing at me!" Li Bai's face turned red and he felt embarrassed. Terrible. On the way home from school, Li Bai was still angry with himself. Suddenly, he found a white-haired old woman grinding a very thick iron rod by a clear stream.

Li Bai was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Wang Lun would come to the river to see him off with so many villagers. These people were so kind to him. He felt his heart heat up and almost shed tears. In this way, Li Bai composed a very famous poem called "A Gift to Wang Lun". The last two sentences of the poem read: "The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, but it is not as deep as Wang Lun's gift to me." It means: "Even if the water in Peach Blossom Pond is as deep as a thousand feet, it is not as deep as Wang Lun's gift to me." ”

Why is this poem dedicated to Wang Lun so beautiful and moving, and why is it so widely circulated? Because it describes the pure and simple friendship between a great poet and ordinary people. This is also a very important reason why Li Bai has been loved by the people for thousands of years.

There is a mysterious legend about Li Bai's birth. It is said that Li Bai's mother had a very strange dream the night before she gave birth to Li Bai. What on earth was she dreaming about? It turned out that she dreamed of a very beautiful starry sky. There were so many shining stars blinking at her, which was really hard to watch. However, there was still a very special star that attracted the attention of Li Bai's mother. This is the first and brightest star to rise on the western horizon in the autumn evening. It is called Taibai Star, which is what we call the morning star today. It is so dazzling and shining that it suddenly outshines other stars in the night sky. Just as Li Bai's mother raised her head to look at the Taibai Star and admired its brightness, the Taibai Star suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the arms of Li Bai's mother. At this time, Li Bai's mother felt a pain in her stomach. Thus, a fat and white little life was born. Because of this dream about Taibai Star, mom and dad decided to name their cute baby Li Bai, also known as Taibai. When Li Bai grew up, in order to realize his lofty ideal of helping the king govern the country and helping the poor people do more good deeds, he used his poems to express his loyalty to the motherland and love for the people, and inspired himself to fight against various difficulties and achieve great results. A big achievement. Li Bai is really like a bright white star, using his light to illuminate our way forward.

In the early years of Tianbao, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty first favored Yang Yuhuan, Li Bai met He Zhizhang. He Zhizhang introduced Li Bai to Tang Xuanzong. The emperor was so impressed by Li Bai's poems that he summoned Li Bai in the Jinluan Palace. When the poet walked up the steps from a distance, Tang Xuanzong walked up to greet Li Bai and talked about the political affairs at that time. Li Baineng wrote a "He Fan Shu" on the spot according to Tang Xuanzong's wishes, and while talking to Xuanzong eloquently, he kept writing down. Tang Xuanzong was very happy and made a bowl of soup with his own hands and gave it to him. Li Bai eats and appoints him as Hanlin from then on.

One night, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan to watch four precious peonies transplanted to Chenxiang Pavilion under the moonlight. By the Xingqing Lake, they strolled along the long embankment, followed by an empty chariot and a group of the most outstanding Liyuan disciples. They sang and danced amid the fragrance of flowers and moonlight. When Li Guinian was organizing the orchestra to sing, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty said, "I appreciate the famous flowers. To my concubine, how can I sing the old words again in this situation?" He asked Li Guinian to give Li Bai a golden flower note. Ask Li Bai to quickly write lyrics (that is, a seven-character poem to accompany the singing). Unexpectedly, Li Bai was lying in a restaurant with a few friends at this time. Li Guinian quickly woke him up with cold water and asked people to carry Li Bai into Xingqing Palace. Li Bai, who was half drunk and half awake, wrote three "Qing Ping Diao":

The clouds think of clothes and the flowers think of appearance. , the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is strong.

If I hadn’t seen him at the top of the jade mountain, I would have met him under the moon at Yaotai.

A branch of red dew is fragrant, and the clouds and rain in Wushan are in vain.

May I ask who in the Han Palace looks like her? Poor Fei Yan, who relies on her new makeup.

Famous flowers attract the attention of the whole country and the two of them love each other so well that the king will look at them with a smile.

Explanation: The spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion leans against the railing in the north.

Of course Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was happy to see that the new words were good, but he thought that Li Bai's ancient poems were otherworldly and his verses were not common. He had already sung three seven-character verses. He didn't know how good he was at writing five-character poems, so he asked Li Bai to He wrote ten five-character poems titled "Enjoyment in the Palace".

Li Bai was drunk and understood that the emperor was testing his skills, so he told Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty: "Unfortunately, I am drunk today. If your majesty gives me fearless courage, then I can give full play to my abilities." The emperor smiled and said: "Okay!" He asked the two chamberlains to hold the swaying Li Bai, and then asked the two chamberlains to hold Zhu Si's manuscript paper.

Li Bai ordered: "Yang Guozhong, give me some ink! Gao Lishi, take off my boots!

Yang Guozhong was the elder brother of Concubine Yang, and Gao Lishi was the most popular at the time. The favored eunuchs, these two are the emperor's confidants, and the ministers in the court have no right to be so rude. Isn't Li Bai so arrogant that he doesn't even want his head? But Tang Xuanzong was in a very happy mood at that time, and saw that Li Bai's rhymed poems could be seen in the audience. When he was drunk, he wrote so perfectly that he asked Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi to wait on Li Bai.

Gao Lishi took off Li Bai's boots and Li Bai sat down at the table. He took the pen and pondered for a while, then wrote ten more poems for "Palace Music" without stopping.

Tang Xuanzong was very happy after reading it, and immediately asked the musicians to compose the music. The musicians sang.

How could Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi tolerate this? Although they were serving Li Bai on the surface, they had already cursed Li Bai countless times and were waiting for an opportunity to deal with Li Bai?

Li Bai fell asleep after writing the poem. Li Guinian sang Qingping tune to Li Bai's poem. Yang Yuhuan saw that the poems were all about praising his beauty, so he went back to enjoy the flowers with Xuanzong.

Two days later, when Yang Yuhuan was singing those Qingping tunes by himself, Gao Lishi took the opportunity and said, "I thought the empress hated Li Bai so much, how come you can sing his lyrics?"

Yang Yuhuan asked strangely: "How can he, a Hanlin bachelor, make me hate him so much?" "

Gao Lishi said: "The second song "Qing Ping Tiao" contains "May I ask who is more similar to the Han Palace, poor Feiyan relies on new makeup", that does not compare you to Zhao Feiyan who messed up the Han Palace. Already? "

Yang Yuhuan made sense when he thought about it. From then on, whenever Tang Xuanzong wanted to reuse Li Bai, Yang Yuhuan was always on the side to stop him.

Li Bai waited for a long time but did not see the emperor reuse him. Guessing that someone must be causing trouble, she simply resigned from the Hanlin job that could only make the emperor happy. Although Tang Xuanzong cherished Li Bai's talent, nothing was as important as Yang Yuhuan. Since she hated Li Bai, she couldn't do it. He had no choice but to reward Li Bai with a lot of gold to travel around the capital.

From then on, Li Bai traveled around on a donkey. When he arrived in Huayin, he was drunk and wanted to climb a mountain. He passed by the Huayin County Yamen Gate but did not get off the donkey. The county magistrate didn't know Li Bai. When he saw that a commoner dared to ride a donkey into the county government office, he was furious. He ordered Li Bai to be arrested in the lobby and asked him: "Who are you?" How dare you be so rude? "

Li Bai took over the pen and wrote a strange confession. He did not write his name and place of birth, but only wrote: "I once wiped my mouth with the emperor's handkerchief; the emperor personally prepared soup for me; Yang Guozhong made soup for me. I hold an inkstone; Gao Lishi takes off my boots; I can still ride a horse in front of the emperor's gate, but I can't ride a donkey in front of Huayin County.

The county magistrate was surprised and ashamed, and hurriedly bowed to Li Bai and thanked him: "I don't know that Hanlin is here, disrespectful, disrespectful!" "

Li Bai laughed loudly, mounted his donkey and continued to wander around the world.

During the Qianyuan period of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, who was over sixty years old, was still riding his donkey to wander around the world. One day, he was walking on the way to Jinling. The hot weather made him so thirsty that he suddenly saw a small flag holding a small flag in front of the door with the word "Good Vinegar" written on it. When Li Bai arrived at the door, he saw that it was a vinegar shop. He thought, since there was no wine to drink, it would be good to drink some vinegar to quench his thirst?

Li Bai tied the donkey to the tree and walked slowly into the store. When he saw it, there was already a person sitting in the store, looking well dressed. Li Bai was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he went straight to the counter and said to the store:

One bite plus one ding, there are temples in the bamboo forest but no monks,

A woman holds her in her arms. A son was born on the 21st day of the lunar month.

The shopkeeper was a scholar, and he knew it was a riddle from a poem. After a while, he figured out the answer was "How jealous".

So he hurriedly cupped his hands and replied with a smile: "This is Shanxi mature vinegar, a good product from the North. Guests can taste it!"

Li Bai was very happy. When he met a close friend in the vinegar shop, he started chatting with the shopkeeper while drinking. After a while, Li Bai finished drinking the vinegar, returned the vinegar pot to the shopkeeper, and said:

A bird in Eshan is not there, but a woman in the west is loved by everyone.

Open a big mouth and swallow a small mouth, If the law goes away, water will not come back.

The store owner immediately figured out the answer was "I want to go back" and said goodbye to Li Bai. "My guest, I wish you a safe journey!" Li Bai nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

The county magistrate saw that Li Bai was chatting and laughing with the store owner from the moment he entered the store to the time he left. He didn't understand what he was talking about, but he couldn't bear to ignore him and ignore him. Seeing Li Bai turning around to go out, he stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute, who are you? How dare you talk nonsense in front of me!"

Li Bai turned around and said:

The beans are under the roots of the mountain, the moon hangs in the sky, and there is no wood when gathering firewood. The king is one family.

After saying that, he untied his donkey, mounted it, and walked away.

Li Bai disappeared without a trace, and the county magistrate was still thinking about this poem.

The store owner knew in his heart that it was "unreasonable", but he pretended not to understand and let the county magistrate figure it out!

Du Fu

One day, Du Fu pestered his aunt to tell stories again. My aunt said:

"Our Du family has produced many famous people. The famous general Du Yu of the Jin Dynasty (for his story, please see the 12th episode of this book) is our thirteenth generation ancestor. He was brave in war. He has made great contributions to the court. The people even made up songs to praise him!"

"It's amazing!" Du Fu said with a thumbs up.

"Your grandfather (Du Shenyan) is a famous poet. The poems he wrote were rewarded by the emperor, and people praised him as a talented man."

These stories gave Du Fu Very encouraging. He studied hard and practiced hard. When he was seven years old, he wrote his first poem "Ode to the Phoenix". One day, he showed his father an article he had written, and two guests happened to be visiting. They also looked interested.

"Such a masterpiece, it looks like it was written by Ban Gu and Yang Xiong (both famous writers in the Han Dynasty)!" the guests said after reading it.

From then on, these two guests often praised Du Fu to people and took him to the homes of people who were proficient in music to listen to the wonderful music of Li Guinian, a famous court musician at the time. This had a great impact on him. Du Fu paid great attention to technique when writing poems throughout his life, and he would never stop writing poems if they were not surprising.

One day, Du Fu said to his wife:

"I heard that the old emperor went to Shu and the prince ascended the throne. I plan to go to his place to serve the country."

In the early morning of the next day, Du Fu hit the road. He didn't go far before he was captured by the rebels. The rebels took him to Chang'an. Seeing that he was a gray-haired scholar, they interrogated him and released him, but they did not let him leave Chang'an.

Du Fu could only wander in Chang'an. In just a few months, this majestic capital city has completely changed. Some of the palaces of emperors and residences of princes in the past were reduced to piles of broken bricks and rubble, and some were filled with rebels. Bodies were strewn across the street, and from time to time, groups of rebel cavalry would pass by in a majestic manner, raising dust and mist all over the sky.

Du Fu saw this tragic scene with his own eyes and worried about the future of the country. During his stay in Chang'an, he wrote many excellent poems, and "Spring Outlook" is one of them:

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation. The flowers shed tears when I feel grateful, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.

The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold. The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust.
