First, the reason for being called fallen immortals
Why compare Li Bai to a fairy who fell from the sky, and call Li Bai a "fallen fairy"? In this way, the name of Li Bai's poetic immortal is a household name, and everyone follows He's statement and calls Li Bai a poetic immortal.
He Zhang called Li Bai a "fallen fairy" for one reason, and another important reason was the style of Li Bai's poems. Li Bai is very good at using romanticism when writing poems, and uses a series of rhetorical devices such as exaggeration, metaphor and personification to write. Li Bai's imagination is rich, and his poems are often elegant and ethereal, which is very "fairy-like".
Second, the origin of Li Bai's name
The first statement: When Li Bai was seven years old, his father wanted to give his son a formal name. Li Bai's parents love reading and want to cultivate their son into a refined and refined person. Father usually likes to teach children to read and write poems. When he was brewing his name, he discussed with his mother and tested his son's ability to write poetry while walking in the yard.
My father looked at the lush flowers and trees in the spring courtyard and began to recite poems: "Spring sends warm flowers, and early spring comes." Mother went on to say, "burning leaves and red clouds have fallen." Li Bai knew that his parents had memorized the first three sentences of the poem and deliberately left the last sentence, hoping to continue. He went to the blooming plum blossom, thought for a moment and said, "Plum blossoms are in full bloom."
"White"-didn't you say Li Hua's holiness and elegance? The father had a brainwave and decided to choose the words "Li" and "Bai" at the beginning and end of the wonderful sentence as the children's names, so he named his seven-year-old son "Li Bai".
The second way of saying it: In the preface to Li's Collection of Caotang, he said, "He fled to Shu, and later he was born in Bai Yang. Surprised at the dusk of ginger, Chang Geng fell asleep. So I was born with a white name and an ethereal white character. " Fan's "Tombstone of Tang Zuo's Hanlin Bachelor Li" wrote: "It is also true that the male is born, and the first husband refers to Tian (Li) to withdraw the compound surname. The first lady dreams of Chang Geng and declares good luck, and the name and words are salty and vivid."
From the above documents, we can easily see that Li Bai's name was born after his father returned to Shu to resume his surname. Li's mother became pregnant after dreaming of the Taibai Venus, and gave birth to Li Bai in unbearable pain. Li Bai's name comes from this dream.
In the first year of Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was born in the last year of Wu Zetian in 70 1 year. Li Bai studied a wide range of contents in his youth. In addition to Confucian classics and ancient literary and historical masterpieces, he also browsed books with a hundred schools of thought contending. He always thought that he liked Taoism and lived in seclusion in the mountains to seek immortality and learn Taoism. At the same time, he has the political ambition to make contributions.
On the one hand, it is necessary to be a hermit immortal beyond the secular world, on the other hand, it is necessary to be an assistant to the monarch, which has formed the contradiction between being born and entering the WTO. However, actively joining the WTO and worrying about the country and the people are the mainstream of his life thoughts and the ideological basis for the progress of his works. Poems written by Li Bai in Shu during his youth are rarely preserved, but articles such as Wandering Taoist and Yuege on Mount Emei show outstanding talents.
