Translation:

Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is from the east of Xiaoshan. Mother dreamed that Chang Gengxing gave birth to him, so she took "Bai" as the name and "Taibai" as the word. Li Bai was familiar with the Five Classics when he was ten years old. He dreams of growing flowers in his works. From then on, he was gifted and brilliant.

Li Bai likes the technique of vertical and horizontal cooperation, and practicing fencing is a grievance. He doesn't value money and is willing to give alms. He stayed in Rencheng, lived in Culai Mountain with Confucius, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, Zhang Shuming and Tao Mian, and drank every day, which is known as "Zhu Xi's Six Replies".

In the early years of Tianbao, Li Bai came to the capital Chang 'an from Shu. At that time, his skills had not been well utilized, so he dedicated his poems to He. When he read the poem Shu Dao Nan.

Sighed and said to Li Bai, "You are an immortal who has been demoted to the world." So, I took off the scarab ornaments and drank with Li Bai all day.

So I recommended Li Bai to Xuanzong. Xuanzong summoned Li Bai in the Golden Temple to talk with him about the current situation and state affairs. Li Bai offered a eulogy, and the emperor was very happy. He gave him food, personally mixed him broth, and appointed Li Bai as an academician on the decree. Li Bai was drunk in front of the emperor and drafted a letter asking Gao Lishi to take off his boots.

Gao Lishi was ashamed of this and accused Li Bai of quoting Zhao's allusions in Qingpingdiao to annoy Yang Guifei. Every time the emperor tried to do it for Li, the imperial concubine always stopped him. Li Bai is even more arrogant, and he, Li, Ruyang, Cui Zongzhi, Zhang Xu and Jiao Sui are called "Eight Immortals Drinking".

Later, he begged to return to China. Xuanzong gave him gold and ordered him to go home.

Li Bai traveled around the world, intending to climb Mount Hua, and passed the county government drunk. The county magistrate was angry because he didn't know Li Bai. He sent someone to take Li Bai to court and asked, "Who are you, how dare you be so rude!" Li Bai did not write his name in the confession, but wrote: "After vomiting, he asked the emperor to wipe his mouth with a towel. When eating, the emperor personally mixed the broth. While writing, Yang Guifei held an inkstone and Gao Lishi helped to take off her boots.

I am still allowed to gallop in front of the temple of the son of heaven; Yamenkou, Huayin County, but can't ride a donkey? The magistrate was surprised and ashamed when he saw it. He bowed to apologize and said, "I didn't know it was an academician."

Li Bai walked away with a smile. Li Bai once sailed from Caishiji to Jinling with Cui Zongzhi. He wore a special silk robe in the palace and sat on the boat, no one was watching.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong took refuge in Shu, and Li Lin, Emperor Yongli, ruled the southeast region. At that time, Li Bai lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain and was recruited as a strategist by Li Lin. Later, Li Lin rebelled and Li Bai fled back to Pengze. After Li Lin failed, Li Bai was implicated in Xunyang prison. At first, Li Bai wandered to Bing and met Guo Ziyi. He thinks this man is different, because he saved Guo Ziyi from the death penalty.

At this time, Guo Ziyi applied to the imperial court to remove his official position to redeem Li Bai's death, so the emperor decided to change Li Bai to exile Yelang.

Li Bai liked the Taoist theories of Huangdi and Laozi in his later years. He rowed in Niuzhuji, caught the moon drunk and sank to the bottom of the water. At the beginning, Li Bai liked Xie Jiaqing Mountain, and now his tomb is still there.
