In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (A.D. 725), Li Bai went to Shu, "leaving his sword to serve the country and his relatives to travel far away". He sailed out of the gorge and drifted along the river, and the mountains in his hometown gradually disappeared beyond recognition. Only the water from the Three Gorges still followed him, pushing his boat and sending him to a strange and distant city.
1. Jiangling was lucky to meet Sima Zhen.
Li Bai didn't expect an extraordinary meeting in Jiangling. He actually met Sima Zhen, a Taoist priest revered by san huang.
Sima Zhen, a Taoist priest in Tiantai, not only learned a whole set of Taoist spells, but also wrote a good seal script with elegant poems. Xuanzong respected him very much. Once, he called him to the Inner Temple to learn Buddhist scriptures, built a balcony for him to view, and sent his sister Princess Yu Zhen to study Taoism with him.
Li Bai was naturally very happy to see the favored Taoist priest, and sent his own poems for his review. Li Bai is handsome and has extraordinary qualifications. Sima Zhen admired him at first sight, but he was even more amazed after reading his poems, praising him for "having the wind of a saint and drifting with the gods." Because he saw that Li Bai was not only outstanding in appearance, but also brilliant in writing, which did not attract the attention of contemporary Rong Lu officials. This is a talent he has never met in the opposition for decades, so he is praised with the highest praise from Taoism. In other words, he has a "immortal root", that is, he was born immortal, which is similar to what He Zhang later praised him as "an immortal", and everyone regarded him as an extraordinary person. This is the overall impression of Li Bai's demeanor and poetic style.
Li Bai rejoiced in Sima Zhen's high praise. He is determined to pursue such an eternal and immortal world as "wandering octupole". Excited, he wrote a great poem "Dapeng meets a bird", taking Dapeng as a metaphor and boasting about its great speed. This is Li Bai's earliest world famous work.
He set off from Jiangling and started his flight thousands of miles away.
The following is Dapeng meets rare birds:
Dapeng meets the gift of rare birds and the sequence is merged.
Yesterday, I was in Jiangling, and I saw Sima Weizi on the rooftop, saying that I have a sage like style, and I can wander with my mind on the octupole table. Because Dapeng met a rare bird, it was given a wide range. This gift has been handed down from generation to generation and is common in the world. Regret that you have less work, and abandon it when you are not poor in middle age. Reading the Book of Jin again, I saw Ruan praising Dapeng, and my heart was bitter. Therefore, more memories and more old books are different. Now that you have restored your collection, how dare you pass it on to the author? Children of ordinary people.
He read between the lines: Southern Fairy, who sent the cat to paint the garden? Spit out lofty remarks and make outrageous remarks. Qi-he is strange, and there are fish in the north. I don't know how far it is, but it's called Kun. Cheng Dapeng, the quality is muddy. Take off your moustache on the island and spread your feathers in Tianmen. Brush the spring flow in Bohai Sea, and you will help mulberries. It's the universe, it's Kunlun Mountain. A drum and a dance, vanished. The five mountains were shaken, and all the rivers collapsed.
This is a thick land, too clear. The clouds are layered and suddenly heavy. Stimulate 3000 to rise and quickly levy 90,000. Cui Wei, with his back on Mount Tai, is holding a long cloud vertically and horizontally. Turn left and right, and the yin suddenly disappears. Through sweat, corrected by Yao, magnificent. Bo HarmonyOS system, Fan Leiting. Fighting over the sky, mountains shake the sea and tilt. Anger has nothing to contend with, and male has nothing to contend with. You can imagine its potential, and you can reach its shape.
If it is full of rainbows, it will dazzle the sun and the moon. Even the porch is procrastinating and profligate. Blowing air makes clouds grow in Liuhe, and sprinkling hair makes snow fly thousands of miles. If you are in the north, you will be poor in the south. The clouds went off with a cannon and drums were everywhere. Candle dragon took the lamp to shine, but he lacked the whip and the way to start. See three mountains in one block and five lakes in one cup. His actions are also God's, and his actions are all the same. Let the public see, stop fishing. If you are poor, you dare not bend the arc It is difficult to throw a fishing rod but miss it.
Erqi's majestic posture has overwhelmed Hehan. The upper body is gray and the lower body is long. Pangu opened the sky and looked straight at it, while xi leaned against the sun and sighed. Between the eight famines, it is half the world. When you hide your thoughts, if you are confused, you will not be judged. Suddenly, as soon as you turn around, the sky is outlined and the fog clears.
2. Burying friends in Dongting
Li Bai went south from Jiangling, passed Yueyang, and then went south to reach one of the destinations of this trip.
However, while rowing in Dongting, an unfortunate thing happened. Li Bai's traveling companion, Wu Guide, came from Sichuan and died of sudden illness. Li Bai is very sad. He fell down beside his friend and shouted, "Blood is behind the tears". Because he cried so much, passers-by cried for it. It's really helpless to meet such misfortune on the trip. Li Bai had to bury Wu Zhidao in Dongting Lake for the time being, and continued his eastward journey, determined to carry his friend's bones away after his trip to the southeast.
Li Bai came to Lushan Mountain, where he wrote a famous poem "Looking at Lushan Waterfall".
3. A trip to the south of the Yangtze River
Li Bai went to Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Here, the public is in the mountains and rivers, the tiger lives in the dragon plate, and the Six Dynasties Palace is vivid. This not only aroused many feelings of Li Bai, but also aroused his pride in that era. He believes that the old capital has been in a state of decline, and there is nothing to see. It is not as good as the current emperor's rule, and the world presents a peaceful scene.
Although the domineering spirit of Jinling has disappeared, the children of Jinling have received Li Bai with deep affection. When Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, Wu Ji suppressed the wine, and Jinling's sons and daughters sent them to each other diligently, frequently raising glasses to persuade them to drink. The feeling of farewell flows through people's hearts like a flowing river, which is unforgettable.
After Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, he went to Yangzhou from the riverside.
Yangzhou was an international city at that time. Li Bai has never seen such a lively city, and has been hanging out with fellow travelers for a while. In midsummer, Li Bai and several young friends "dismounted, beside Oubei Avenue. Look at the green water on the horizon and the green hills on the sea. " It's so pleasant. In autumn, he fell ill in Huainan (Yangzhou). Being in a foreign country, he has a lot of thoughts. He lamented that he had little hope of making achievements and missed his hometown deeply. The only thing that can bring him some comfort is a letter from a distant friend.
Li Bai went to Gusu after recovering from illness in Huainan. This is the place where Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and beautiful women sing and dance day and night. Li Bai missed the past and wrote an epic poem "Wu Qiqu". This poem was later praised by He, calling it "making the gods cry". From this point of view, although Li Bai's Yuefu poems sometimes use old topics, they are more innovative.
Of course, the scenic spots and historical sites in Gusu aroused Li Bai's nostalgia for the past, and the beautiful and simple Wu Ji and Yue Nv made Li Bai admire them. Li Bai left a beautiful sketch on the Huansha stone with his wonderful pen at the foot of the mountain where the stone used to be Huansha.
Li Bai returned to Jingmen from the west.
He stayed in Jingmen for three months. Although he is homesick, he has made no achievements in his career and finds it difficult to return to his hometown. Finally, he decided to roam again.
First came to Dongting Lake and buried Wu Guide's bones in Jiangxia (now Wuchang, Hubei). He met the monk Xing Rong in Jiangxia, and learned about Meng Haoran from him, so he went to Xiangyang to visit Meng Haoran and wrote the famous five-rhythm poem "A Letter to Meng Haoran".
Soon, Li Bai arrived in Anlu and settled in the Taoist temple of the little beast. But seclusion here is not a long-term solution, and he still wants to find opportunities for career advancement. When Li Bai lived in seclusion in Shoushan, he made friends with officials by lobbying to improve his reputation.
Li Bai's literary talent was appreciated by Xu Shiyu, the prime minister of Wuhou, and he was recruited as a son-in-law. Li Bai and his wife, Xu, live a happy married life under Taohua Rock in Baizhao Mountain, not far from the Xu family. However, the beauty of husband and wife's life did not make Li Bai's ambition to go out and make a successful career decline. Based on Anzhou's wife's family, I traveled several times and got to know some officials and nobles. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (AD 734), I got to know the Han Dynasty Sect, the long history of Jingzhou and the secretariat of Xiangzhou.
Second, travel again.
1. Roaming in Song Liang
In the summer of the third year of Tianbao (AD 744), Li Bai arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Here, he met Du Fu, who had a hard time. The two greatest poets in the history of China literature met. At this time, Li Bai was famous all over the country, while Du Fu was in his prime, but he stayed in Los Angeles. Li Bai is eleven years older than Du Fu, but he is not arrogant in front of Du Fu with his talent. Du Fu, an "old friend", did not bow to Li Bai's praise. The two men established a profound friendship on an equal footing. When they were in Luoyang, they made an appointment to meet again in Liang and Song Dynasties (now in Shangqiu, Kaifeng) to seek immortality.
This autumn, the two arrived in Liang Song as scheduled. Here, two people express their feelings through the past and discuss the present. They also met the poet Gao Shi here, who has not yet taken office. However, each of them has the same ambition and ideal. The three of them had a good time swimming, commenting on literary criticism and poetry, and talking about the general trend of the world. They were all worried about the hidden dangers of the country. At this time, Du Li was in the prime of life, and this exchange of ideas in their creation had a positive impact on them in the future.
In the autumn and winter of this year, Du Li broke up again and went to find a Taoist teacher to make a real coffin (Taoist secret) and taught Taoist priests to make coffins. Li Bai arrived (now Jinan, Shandong Province) and was taught by Taoist Gao of the Qing Dynasty in the palace. Since then, he has officially performed Taoist rituals and become a Taoist priest. Later, Li Bai went to Anling County, Dezhou, and met Gailiao, who was good at writing symbols and seals in this area, and made a true atlas for him. Li Bai got a satisfactory result in this fairy's visit.
In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao (AD 745), Li Bai and Du Fu met for the third time at the east foot. In just over a year, the two met twice and three times, and their friendship deepened. Together, they visited the hermit master and Li Yong, a world-famous essayist and calligrapher at that time. Just this winter, the two broke up and Li Bai was ready to revisit Jiangdong.
2. Go east to wuyue.
Li Bai left Donglu, took a boat from Rencheng and went to Yangzhou along the canal. I didn't stay much because I was in a hurry to meet Yuan Danqiu in Huiji.
After arriving in Huiji, Li Bai first went to mourn the death of He. Soon, Kong also came to Huiji, so Li Bai, Yuan Danqiu and Kong visited Yudong, Lanting and other places of interest, boating in a quiet lake and wandering among rivers, and improvised descriptions of the beautiful scenery and beautiful women in this area.
In Jinling, Li Bai met Cui Chengfu. Both of them are politically frustrated, and their feelings are more congenial. Every time I play, I enjoy swimming, morning and evening. They went boating on the Qinhuai River and sang all night, which attracted people on both sides of the strait to marvel and applaud them. Because of their congenial personalities and similar experiences, they have more tacit understanding and deeper friendship than ordinary friends, so Li Bai tied Cui Chengfu's poems to his clothes and memorized them when he remembered them.
3. explore the secluded swallow and take the Jiangnan road.
Li Bai wandered in wuyue for several years. At this time, the country is in chaos and the situation is getting worse every year. Under the guidance of taking the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, he decided to go to Youyan (now Beijing) to explore the reality.
At the end of Youyan, Li Bai saw with his own eyes that An Lushan was preparing his horse and arranging his troops. The situation is very critical, but there is nothing he can do. Two or three years before the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai wandered around Xuancheng, Dangtu, Nanling and Qiupu, still relying on food and clothing, and often wrote poems to help local officials.
In this roaming, Li Bai died his wife Xu Shi and married the master. The family is changeable and the country is troubled. While seeking immortality, Li Bai learned Taoism and tried to contribute to the country. He is still concerned about national security, although he is still roaming, which is different from the past.
Third, on the way to death.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion was launched, and Li Bai took refuge in Lushan Mountain. At that time, there were always two contradictory ideas in his mind: retiring and helping the world. Li Lin, the king of the ages, just started to travel eastward at this time, and Li Bai was invited to act.
Behind the scenes, Li Baili advised Wang Yong to put out thieves, and at the same time he also reflected on his lack of political foresight. Xiao and Kong in the south of the Yangtze River were also invited to avoid disaster. In this respect, Li Bai is obviously inferior to them.
Wang Yong was soon defeated, and Li Bai was imprisoned in Xunyang. At this time, Cui Huan encouraged Jiangnan to recruit talents. Li Bai wrote poems for help, and his wife guru also cried for help. Song Ruosi stationed 3000 troops of Wu Bing in Xunyang. He rescued Li Bai from the prison and let him join the shogunate. Li Bai became Song Ruosi's adjutant, wrote several essays for Song, and followed him to Wuchang. Li Bai was highly valued under Song Ruosi, and recommended to the court again in the name of Song Dynasty, hoping to be appointed by the court again. But for some unknown reason, instead of seeing the letter of appointment, he was turned into a long-lost Yelang (now Zitong, Guizhou), which was completely unexpected. Because at that time, Wang Yong's military commander-in-chief, Junba, was highly valued. The reason why things have changed may be related to the loss of power and influence of Cui Huan and Zhang Hao.
In the winter of the second year of Zhide (AD 757), Li Bai went from Xunyang Road to Yelang, the exile. Because the sentence is long and never comes back, and Li Bai is now in his twilight years. "Yelang Wan Li Road makes people old in the west" made him even more sad.
Because Li Bai is well-known in China, he was received by local officials along the way. Everyone respected him very much and didn't regard him as an exiled sinner.
In the second year of Gan Yuan (AD 759), Li Bai went to Wushan. Because of the drought in Guanzhong, the court announced an Amnesty, stipulating that all the deceased were pardoned from the stream and below. In this way, Li Bai was finally free after a long wandering. He immediately descended from the Yangtze River, and the famous song "Chaofa Baidicheng" best reflected his mood at that time.
In Jiangxia, Li Bai stayed for a while because his old friend Liang Zai was a local satrap. In the second year of Gan Yuan, at the invitation of a friend, Li Bai once again went boating with the demoted Jia Zhi to enjoy the moon in Dongting Lake, thinking about ancient love and expressing his feelings with poetry. Soon, he returned to the old places of Xuancheng and Jinling. For almost two years, he shuttled between the two places and still lived on people. In the second year of last year, Li Bai, who was in his early sixties, returned to Jinling due to illness. In Jinling, his life was rather embarrassing, so he had to go to his uncle Li, who was the county magistrate of dangtu county.
In the third year of Shangyuan (AD 762), Li Bai was seriously ill. He gave the manuscript to Li at the age of 62 when he was dying.
