Li Bai (70 1-762), whose real name is Taibai, also known as "purple laity" and "fallen fairy", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "poetic fairy" by later generations, and was also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai merged again. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the king of Liang, and he is a descendant of all kings. He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends.
Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages. Li Taibai's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Liang, The First Building of Baidicheng, etc.

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 Chao's father also arrived in Huiji, so Li Bai, Yuan Danqiu and his father visited Yudong, Lanting and other historical sites, boated in Jinghu Lake, traveled to and from Tunxi and other places, and of course lingered in Huiji, a bustling city. 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.

Li has an unusual relationship with the great romantic poet Li Bai. In Tang Suzong, Li Bai devoted himself to describing the shogunate of Lilin in Wang Yong. Because Li Lin rose up and rebelled and was defeated in Danyang, Li Bai was implicated and sentenced to exile. Although he was granted Amnesty, he was homeless, down and out, and lived in Dangtu. Li was a county magistrate in Dangtu at that time, and he appreciated Li Bai's literary talent and personality. After learning what happened to Li Bai, he resolutely settled Li Bai in Dangtu and gave him a lot of care in his life.
Li Bai died in Dangtu and entrusted his life's poems to Li before his death. Li lived up to his great trust and copied the manuscript into 20 volumes of Caotang Collection with exquisite calligraphy, and prefaced the collection of poems. Spread all over the world. The reason why Li Bai's poems and songs are widely circulated is not only that the poems themselves have high ideological and artistic quality, but also that Li's editing and arrangement have contributed a lot.
