The tomb of Li Bai has always been controversial in history. A common saying is that Li Bai lived at the foot of Longshan in Dangtu in his later years (now the former site of Longshan cement) and was buried at the foot of Longshan in a hurry after his death. Li Bai admired Xie Tiao, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie Tiao buried the green hills. Therefore, Li Bai has the wish of "being buried in Qingshan after death and living next to Xie Tiao". Li Bai was poor and ill, but for various reasons, he could not be buried in Qingshan. After 55 years (8 17), the observation of Tang Xuancheng made Fan Zhengchuan help him realize this last wish. Both Fan and Li Bai were from the Tang Dynasty. His father accompanied Li Bai to dinner in Xunyang. When he was a teenager, he read many poems by Li Bai and admired him very much. During the Yuanhe period, Fan went to Xuancheng as an observer and learned that Li Bai was buried unexpectedly. When he found Li Bais Tomb, he was very sad to see that there were no graves and weeds everywhere. He told Zhuge Zong, the magistrate of Dangtu County, to try to find Li Bai's two granddaughters living in the country. "One is Chen Yun's room and the other is Liu Quan's wife." The second woman said, "After the death of my ancestors, my father, Boqin, though a gentry, had no official position and died of illness, leaving three brothers and sisters behind. My brother went out and didn't come home. My two daughters, helpless, married a farmer and were disguised as beggars. They are not allowed to farm and live in poverty. " Fan was moved and said to his second daughter, "I plan to re-establish the brand of Gong Li's family with the ceremony of official burial." He also ordered Zhuge county magistrate to enfeoffment his second daughter, Sangtian, to avoid all the corvees and treat them with courtesy. A few days ago, I took the warlock to the sun of Qingshan, and chose a piece for Li Bai. "In the north, it depends on Xie Jiaqing Mountain, resting place, facing Danze, leaning on Qinglong, 300 steps south of the postal road, near Xie Gongzhai and as far as Tian Tong Road." A treasure trove of feng shui. In the second year, on the 23rd day of the first month, I welcomed God into the house. To this end, Fan wrote more than 2,000 words of "New Epitaph", including "Work hard, aim to be thousands of miles away, and die in an empty valley. Only, the price is heavy ... ""In my twilight years, I crossed Niuzhuji, went to my aunt's place, called Xie Shan, and I have a final ambition. Wandering around, I died here. His life is also an aristocratic scholar of the sacred dynasty, and his future is also a descendant of Tu. " "Burying a scholar-bureaucrat today will be based on the tomb, there will be a house of benevolence, and a monument will be erected on the road. Cai Yu's skill is poor and empty, so it is impossible to achieve it twice. Today, I made a new epitaph and published two stone tablets. One is placed in the spring, and the other is placed on the road. The meaning of Hanchuan is also the first, and the sound of ordinary fragrance is not diminished ... "When we look at it, it is only 3 kilometers from the east foot of Longshan to Qingshan Yang.
There is another saying about Li Bai's graveyard since the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, said in his poem "Li Bais Tomb": "Quarrying Li Bais Tomb by the river, the four weeds are infinite, and the clouds are lingering; There have been earth-shattering words. " It seems that Li Bai's tomb is in Quarrying. According to experts' annual calculation, Bai Juyi came to pick Rocky Mountain only one year later than Fan Qian to Li Bais Tomb. By rights, he should know that Li Bais Tomb has moved to Castle Peak. Why do you say "quarrying Li Bais Tomb by the river"? Jia Dao, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem Niuzhu: "Under the great river, there are deep spiritual houses; Cliffs, self-excited echo; If you don't see the rhinoceros burner, you will remember Whale Rider; Boarding to the dangerous pavilion, the moth eyebrows look at the sky. " The poem "Whale Rider" refers to Li Bai, meaning that Li Bai rode a whale to heaven after falling into the water. Mei, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Giving Palace Fu under the Quarrying Moon": "I heard that the fairy died under the quarrying moon and sat in a brocade robe fishing boat at night; Drunk, I love the moon hanging at the bottom of the river, and I turn my body over with my hands; You shouldn't be hungry, so you can ride a whale to heaven. " Li Bai's death is more concrete and deified. Is Li Bai buried in Longshan (Qingshan) or Caishiji after his death? According to local chronicles since the Qing Dynasty, Li Bais Tomb, a quarrying city, is called the "Crown Tomb", and Castle Peak is the burial place of Li Baixian's bones. In my opinion, Bai Juyi's poems, Jia Dao's poems and Mei's poems commemorating Li Bai are not contradictory. Caishiji is a military fortress and a tourist attraction for literati. Caishiji is only a dozen kilometers away from Qingshan. It is not wrong for the poet to take Caishiji as the name of Qingshan. Some kind locals read the poems of the ancients. In order to cater to tourists' desire to find Li Bais Tomb, it is also reasonable to set up a monument to Li Bai near Caishiji. According to reports, Li Bai's "Yi Guan Zhong" was originally in the middle of the playground of the first primary school in Caishi Town, and later moved to the middle of Cuiluo Mountain on 1972. This is the same reason that many places claim to have discovered "Liang Zhu's hometown", "Cao Cao's tomb" and "He Lucheng site". It is also necessary to develop tourism economy!
