Li Bai, a poet, has three children. Why did he end up "childless"?

As an immortal in China's literary world, Li Bai's life is full of legends, but it also leaves countless mysteries, such as why Li Bai never mentioned his great-grandfather and grandfather, whether Li Bai is a descendant of Li Chengjian, where is Li Bai's hometown, how did Li Bai die, and whether Li Bai really had no children?

It can be said that Li Bai is full of mysteries, which have not been solved yet. However, a genealogy of Li Bai discovered in Jiangsu has revealed the eternal mystery of whether Li Bai has no children.

According to historical records, Li Bai * * * had two formal marriages: one was to marry the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xu and have a son and a daughter, Li Boqin and Li Pingyang; Secondly, she married the granddaughter of Zongchuk, the Prime Minister of Tang Gaozong, but she had no children.

Therefore, the key to judge whether Li Bai is recited by later generations lies in Li Boqin. Because Li Pingyang is a woman, it is generally not recorded in history books. However, Li Pingyang was in a special situation and died shortly after marriage. It's hard to say whether there are descendants. Of course, even if Li Pingyang gave birth to a child, in a patriarchal society, the descendants of Li Bai will not be counted.

Li Boqin, a female, lived in Dangtu, Anhui Province after Li Bai's death, and had a son and two daughters.

About 820 years ago, Fan, the son of Li Bai's good friend Fan Lun, traveled all over the country looking for Li Bai's descendants, but only found Li Boqin's two daughters. Two women married local farmers, one was Chen Yunfang and the other was Liu Quan's wife. As for Li Boqin's son, Li Bai's grandson, it is "his son traveled and disappeared when he was young."

Professor Yu Xianhao, president of China Li Bai Research Association and former Nanjing Normal University, judged that Li Bai's only grandson died in a foreign land, leaving no children.

So, does Li Bai really have no children? Jiangsu discovered Li Bai's genealogy, or uncovered the truth!

2 1 At the beginning of the century, an 80-year-old man accidentally found a broken Li family tree while cleaning up the Dongyinzhuang ancestral hall in Jiangyan City, Jiangsu Province. Although the genealogy was compiled during the reign of Xianfeng, the first sentence at the beginning caused a shock, that is, "bring disgrace to oneself from Li's lineal family".

Legend has it that it has been passed down for dozens of generations. The original genealogy shows that Hongwu was an immigrant crossing the river and later moved to Yangyinzhuang, southeast of Hailing. Since Li began to migrate, it has been handed down for seven generations.

According to Li Bai's genealogy, Jae-dong Lee Yinzhuang's first name is that he moved around and finally arrived in Dongyinzhuang.

Then, will the ancestors of Dongyinzhuang Li deliberately say that they originated from Li Bai? This situation is very common. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in order to show its long history, Li Tang was given the ancestor of "Old Gigi Lai Kun". As for the people, it is more common. Don't some people think they are descendants of Qin Gui now (Qin Gui has no children, and his only son is adopted)?

However, in the Preface to the Collection of Li Hanlin written by Hao Wei in the Tang Dynasty, it was recorded that Li Bai had an illegitimate child.

Bai married Xu, gave birth to a daughter, a slave named, married a woman and died. It is also suitable for Liu and Liu's plan. The second time, I married a woman from Lu, and her son was quite Li. Finally married to the Song Dynasty.

Through this passage, we can see that Li Bai has four marriages, two normal and two abnormal. The other two paragraphs are "To Marry Liu" and "To Marry a Lu Woman". The latter gave birth to a son "Li Boli", whose surname is unknown. Because Hao Wei and Li Bai lived in the same era, this record is very reliable.

Therefore, after reading Li Bai's genealogy, many scholars think that the existence of Li Boli proves from the side that Li Bai's genealogy in Dongyinzhuang may be true, that is to say, the Li family in Dongyinzhuang may be the descendants of Li Boli.

There should be descendants of Li Bai. As for whether he is in Dongyinzhuang, it is difficult to verify. Because emotionally, if Li Bai, the only immortal who died in ancient and modern times, has no children, then Li Bai's life is even worse. God shouldn't treat Li Bai like this!
