The story of Li Bai's growth

1, when Li Bai was 5 years old, he followed his father from the Western Regions to settle in the Qinglian area of Sichuan. By the age of 10, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. One spring, a guest came to visit Li Bai's father at the foot of Minshan Mountain. It happened that he went out and didn't come back. The guest showed disappointment on his face and turned to leave.

When Li Bai saw it, he quickly grabbed the guest and said, "Uncle, you came all the way to find my father. If you are tired for a long time without rest, you will come back. This will hurt your body and mind. " Seeing that Li Bai was polite, enthusiastic and eloquent, the guests secretly admired him and sat down one after another. Li Bai began to get busy. He showed great respect to the guests by serving tea and handing towels.

In order to make the guests not lonely, Li Bai put down the book he was reading and went to the living room to talk to the guests. He said generously, "May I have your name, so that I can tell my father?" The guest wanted to try Li Bai's talent, so he coughed, gently twisted his beard with his fingers and said loudly, "My surname is' someone stole', and my name is' a bird falls on the mountain but can't see its feet'." Li Bai thought carefully for a while, then handed it over and replied, "I know, I know." I'll tell dad when he comes back. "

The guest asked doubtfully, "Can you explain it to me?" Li Bai immediately replied: "Someone stole" means removing the word "stealing" from singles, so it is the word "Yu"; The word "island" means "the bird landed on the top of the mountain but couldn't see its feet". Your surname is Yu, and your name is Island! The guest was very moved and patted his head again and again and said, "This child is really a wizard." Congratulations! "

2. 14 years old, Li Bai came to Nanpu (now Wanzhou City, Sichuan Province). There was a local squire named Hu who thought he was learned and looked down on others. He wants to test Li Bai. One day, in front of Li Bai, he wrote a pair of couplets: "Liangshan plants big bamboos without splashing water." This part contains three local place names, so it is difficult to make the correct part. Who knows that Li Bai casually replied: "Nanpu people live long, why are they afraid of Fengdu?" There are three place names before and after this second couplet, and the antithesis is very neat.

Not convinced, Taigong Hu pointed to a picture on the wall for everyone to see. There is an old fairy in the picture, sleeping on the edge of a cliff with a big jar, and wine comes out of the jar. Mr. Hu also wrote a pair of couplets on the theme of painting: "If you add a pawn, you will get drunk, and if you bow your head, you will sleep." The old fairy will snuggle up to the jar. I wonder if you are drunk or asleep? " Li Bai answered unhurriedly: "The moon is half fat, and it is long and swollen. Mr. Hu stood in the middle of the hall with a big belly. I wonder if it is fat or swollen? " Grandfather Hu Ben wanted to laugh at Li Bai, but Li Bai made a tit-for-tat laugh. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw that Hu Taigong was as fat as a pig.

Mr. Hu blushed and wanted to find another chance to save face. After the banquet, he led the people to take a walk in the garden. He saw several goslings floating on the surface of the lotus pond, swimming around. He said to Li Bai cleverly, "I don't know how small this goose is!" " Li Bai certainly understood Mr. Hu's intention in his heart. He looked back at the pond and happened to see a turtle sticking its head out. He replied: "The tortoise shell has been polished, and it can be regarded as an old fox!" "
