Ancient folk tales: Li Bai wrote poems to pick names

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, the immortal poet, was summoned to the capital by Xuanzong to serve as a scholar in the Imperial Academy.

At first, he was very proud and wanted to make a difference. But this was the late period of Xuanzong's reign, and politics were becoming increasingly corrupt and dark, and it was impossible to give Li Bai a chance to display his talents. Li Bai drank wine day and night to relieve his worries.

One day, Li Bai just finished drinking and returned to his residence drunk. A bachelor named Li Mo came to Li Bai's residence with a child who was just one month old, and said to him happily: "Li Hanlin, look at my little grandson, how cute he is. You are very knowledgeable. Please give the child a name." Give me a name!"

Li Bai looked at Li Mo's grandson with drunken eyes, then picked up a pen and wrote 20 words: "Who is there under the tree? If you don't say anything, I am so good. , Yan Fei thanked Cheng Bao."

Li Mo looked at it and thought, Li Bai was really drunk and asked him to name it, but he wrote a poem and said goodbye: "Originally, I asked Hanlin to name it. name, but you wrote a poem and I don’t understand what it means. You are drunk, please rest!" Then he hugged his grandson and left unhappily.

Li Mo returned home and told the matter to his family. A Juren happened to be a guest at home. He said to Li Mo: "There is a lot in these lines of Li Taibai's poems. The people under the tree It's 'Mu'zi', which is 'Li'. Buyu is 'Mo' Yan', which is 'Mo'. Hao is 'daughter' son, which means 'grandson'. When it comes to noon, it means "Wu", and the word "Xu" is also used. Yanfei Xie Chengbao, "Yanfei" means "Yun", and "Chengbao" means "Feng" in the middle, which is Tianfeng. The combination of the poems means "Li Mo's grandson Xu Yunfeng".

When Li Mo heard it, he realized that it was a riddle of the poem, and he was very satisfied with the name "Xu Yunfeng".

Li Mo’s grandson has always used this name since he grew up.
