Li Bai is known as the "poet immortal" and is known for his poetic talent. However, his married life turned out to be a tragedy, and it is the most memorable place for people.
Li Bai, a literary giant who was revered as a "poet immortal" by later generations, left more than 900 poems, which are deeply engraved in the memory of history. However, Li Bai's life is not as romantic as poetry. The fact that he has been through four marriages, each of which ended in tragedy, is quite surprising.
Among his poems, there is a ridiculous poem "Will Enter the Wine", which was originally intended to satirize his wife. When people first read this poem, they are often attracted by its boldness and ease, but after digging deeper, they realize that it is actually mocking the ignorance of their own wife. Li Bai borrowed the allusion that Zhu Maichen was looked down upon, alluding to his wife Liu's blind eye to his talent.
After the death of Li Bai's first wife, Xu, he took his son and daughter into exile and was eventually accepted by distant relatives. However, Li Bai's distant relatives felt that it was not easy for him to live alone, so they introduced the widow Liu to him. Although there is no conclusive conclusion on whether the two are officially married, we can temporarily refer to Liu as Li Bai's wife.
However, Li Bai and Liu's personalities are very different. Li Bai loved poetry, wine and making friends, and was praised as a romantic and bold poet, but some people thought he was an idle person. Liu, on the other hand, is a real realist who is not interested in Li Bai's romance, but only thinks that he is not doing his job properly and is addicted to gin all day long. These contradictions eventually evolved into Liu's dissatisfaction and complaints about Li Bai.
As you can imagine, if you live in modern times, your husband just has fun and drinks at home every day, and hangs with his friends, foxes, friends, and dogs, which is indeed a headache. Li Bai himself is an unrestrained and uninhibited person, so the two often quarrel because of this.
It is said that Li Bai wrote this poem to allude to Liu, expressing his dissatisfaction with her indulgence and **: "The rampant of the other woman is not as strong as the magpie." The lust of the other woman is not as good as the running of the quail. In the end, the two broke up unhappily, and Liu married someone else without any nostalgia.
In addition to this emotional experience, Li Bai also has three completely different emotional experiences.
The first is his marriage to his ex-wife Xu. They got married under the introduction of Meng Haoran, and Meng Haoran tried his best to match, making Li Bai the son-in-law of the Xu Mansion. Fortunately, Li Bai and Xu have a similar temperament, they moved to the mountains, lived a simple life, and had a hidden charm like Tao Yuanming.
However, although the couple respected each other like guests, Xu's family was not optimistic about Li Bai, especially Xu's eldest brother, who had a lot of criticism about him. Li Bai's heart can be seen from a sentence: "It is better to cover Mo in-laws and even the imperial city, it is better to be a hairpin." Look at the person in front of the wealth, why use the name behind you. Li Bai did not desire to seek fame by virtue of his in-laws, so when the Xu family gave birth to children for him, he traveled alone in the mountains and wilderness.
Although the two corresponded frequently, they were separated for a long time, and Li Bai did not return home for ten years, and finally Xu died of longing and illness, leaving a pair of children for him to raise.
The heroine in Li Bai's third relationship is more ambiguous. He once mentioned in the poem that he was willing to be the southeast branch and exalted Freu. Li Bai saw the sea pomegranate flower planted by the beauty, he took care of it, and even wanted to turn into a southeast branch, touching her gently, and the meaning of liking at that time was obvious. However, Li Bai was already a scholar at that time, and he could not marry a commoner woman, so he could only take her as a concubine. The life of the two was indeed very happy, but in the end the woman died of illness. After this relationship, Li Bai ushered in the last relationship history in his life.
Li Bai's fourth marriage is definitely a good story. At the beginning, Li Bai was unsatisfactory in his career, so he and Gao Shi, Du Fu and other friends went to borrow wine to kill their sorrows. Half-drunk and half-awake, Li Bai heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the Liang Garden in Shangqiu, and for a while his poetry was greatly exerted, and his hand wrote "Liang Yuan Yin" on the powder wall. Life is so ingenious, a sentence "Get up when the east mountain is lying high, it is not too late to help the people." "I was seen by a passing piano girl, and I admired the person who wrote the poem very much, and the poetry and book were both excellent. When the sweeping monk of Liang Yuan wanted to clean the wall, the Fuqin girl stopped him and bought the flour wall. She explained that the pink wall was not worth a penny, but the poem with the title poem was worth a fortune. After that, I really sent 1,000 taels of silver. The news spread quickly, and Li Bai naturally knew about it. He felt that this was his confidant, so he asked around who the person who "bought the wall with a thousand dollars" was.
When Li Bai learned that the benefactor of Fuqin and his benefactor who "bought the wall with a thousand gold" were the same person, his heart was full of joy. Subsequently, through Du Fu's introduction, he found the girl who stroked the qin.
It turned out that the identity of this girl was not simple. She is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zong Chuke, and is regarded as the pearl of the palm by the Zong family. She is not only superb and knowledgeable, but what is even more rare is that she has the right to marry independently.
Maybe all this is fate. recalled that Li Bai once wrote in "Gift to Wang Lun": "The Son of Heaven can't get on the boat when he calls, and he claims to be a fairy in wine." At this moment, he seems to be really a god descending to earth, and he is heart-to-heart with the daughter of the Zong family.
After learning that this poem was written by Li Bai, Zong readily agreed to his marriage proposal. Their wedding was as gorgeous as Liang Yuanyin, and in the end, the two tied the knot.
This relationship seems to be more in line with Li Bai's personality. Although he is still a son-in-law, this love story is full of Li Bai's bold and romantic style. He expressed his deep affection for the Zong clan in "Although the country is blocked, the intention is not different".
However, the whereabouts of the Zong clan are unknown. There is no exact record of her in the history books. In the end, Li Bai still spent it alone.
He had many encounters with Tang Xuanzong, and although Xuanzong admired his poetry, he also knew that Li Bai was still politically immature. Therefore, he was not given an important position. And the proud Li Bai chose to leave the imperial court and return to the world of poetry.
Perhaps Li Bai's original wish was just to be reused by Tang Xuanzong, but he failed to do so.
Later, through the incident involving Li Bai's participation in the Yongwang Uprising, we can also get a glimpse of Tang Xuanzong's wise decision at that time.
Fortunately, Li Bai was able to get out when the world was amnesty. However, it is a pity that at this moment, Li Bai has entered the age of not being confused, although he has ambitions, he has never been able to show his strengths in his life. He was alone and had no country to repay, so in the end he could only rely on the care of his uncle Li Yangbing and spend his old age with the son born to the Xu family.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life. Perhaps when looking back on the ups and downs of his life and encountering hardships, Li Bai finally passed away due to depression.
Some people once questioned Li Bai's ending, thinking that he should not end up like this. Some people even doubt whether Li Bai is really so naïve, and whether he has become a loyal supporter because of his misjudgment that King Yong is not a traitor. However, it is precisely because of this innocence that Li Bai was able to show his deep uninhibited, romantic and free and easy heart. Despite the ups and downs of his life, his poems have been passed down through the ages, and each one is an eternal swan song.
