Li Bai’s parents named him Li Bai because of a dream her mother had. Li’s mother dreamed of Taibai Venus and became pregnant. Li Bai’s name was based on this dream.
Li Bai’s parents also loved reading. Their purpose was to train Li Bai to be a talented and knowledgeable scholar, and did not want him to become an ordinary person in the future. The father usually likes to teach his children to read and write poems. When he was planning to name the name, he discussed it with his mother and tested his son's ability to write poems while walking in the courtyard.
