Translation:

Li Bai, whose word is Taibai, is from the east of Xiaoshan. Mother dreamed of Chang Geng Xing and gave birth to him, so she named him Li Bai. 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 art of vertical and horizontal, and practicing fencing is a grievance. He doesn't value money and is willing to give alms. I live in Rencheng again. He lived in Culai Mountain with Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, Tao Mian and others, and drank every day, which is known as "Zhu Xi's six explanations". In the early years of Tianbao, Li Bai came to the capital Chang 'an from Zhongshu. At that time, his skills had not been well utilized, so he dedicated his poems to He. When He Zhangzhi read the poem "Difficult Road in Shu", he sighed to Li Bai: "You are a fairy who has been demoted to the world." So, I took off my scarab jewelry to drink wine, and (and Li Bai) teased each other all day and recommended Li Bai in front of Xuanzong. Xuanzong summoned Li Bai in the Golden Temple to talk with him about the current situation and national politics. Li Bai made a eulogy. The emperor was very happy, gave him food, personally prepared broth for him, and ordered Li Bai to give it to Hanlin. 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. Whenever Xuanzong wanted to give Li Bai an official position, Yang Guifei 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 go back to his hometown, and Xuanzong gave him gold and ordered him to go home. Li Bai traveled around the world, intending to climb Mount Hua, drunk over a donkey, and passed by the county street gate. The magistrate was very angry and 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, I asked the emperor to wipe his mouth with a towel. At dinner, the emperor personally mixed the broth for me. While writing, Yang Guifei held an inkstone and Gao Lishi helped to take off her boots. I am also allowed to gallop in front of the Tianzi Temple, but I can't ride a donkey at Yamenkou, Huayin County? " The magistrate was surprised and ashamed when he saw it. He quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "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. Li Bai lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain and was recruited as a military adviser 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. Li Bai wrote 20 volumes of anthology, which is very popular in the world. Some people say that Li Bai is the ninth great-grandson of Li Gui, the military king of Xiliang.
