In May this year, the Culture and Entertainment Department of People's Daily Online and the People's Literature Publishing House launched a series of live broadcast activities of "Traveling around the Former Residence of Everyone". They "clocked in" the former residences of Lao She, Bing Xin, Lu Xun, Shen Congwen and many other famous artists, returned to the literary scene and felt their literary demeanor closely.

On November 15, "Wandering in Your Former Residence" set off again after three months of absence. This time, we selected four representative former residences of famous classical writers Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Li Qingzhao's former residence, Sansu Temple and Li Bai's former residence to present a month long cultural feast for everyone.

On December 8, we came to the fourth stop of the series live broadcast - the former residence of Li Bai in Jiangyou, Sichuan.

Li Bai (701-762), known as Taibai and Qinglian Jushi, was a romantic poet in the high Tang Dynasty, and was later known as the "Poetry Immortal" and "Li Du" together with Du Fu.

Speaking of the most famous poet in ancient times, many people may blurt out Li Bai. His poems are bold and unrestrained, fresh and elegant, rich in imagination and wonderful in artistic conception, which have a profound impact on the poetry creation of later generations. Yu Guangzhong, a scholar, once commented on him: "When wine enters Haochang, seven percent of it will become moonlight, and the remaining three percent will become sword like. When embroidery is spit out, half of the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous."

Li Bai's poems often use imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques to create a magical and colorful, magnificent and moving artistic conception; At the same time, in his poems, he also expresses his feelings without concealment and restraint, expressing his emotions. Throughout his life, Li Bai has left many famous poems to later generations——

The Sword Pavilion is towering and steep. One man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.

——Difficult Path to Shu

Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

Don't you see that the mirror in the high hall is sad and white, and the morning is like green silk, and the evening is like snow.

——Going to Drink

It's hard to travel! It's hard to travel! How different is the way?

I will mount a long wind some day and break the heavy waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea.

——Difficult Travel

Sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in Qianchuan from a distance.

Flying down three thousand feet, I suspect the Milky Way is falling nine days.

——Watching Lushan Waterfall

There is a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without dating.

Raise your glass and invite the moon to form three people.

——One of the Four Songs for Drinking Alone under the Moon

Lang rode a bamboo horse to get green plums around the bed.

If you live together for a long time, you can guess.

——Changganxing - One of them

Li Bai's former residence is located in Qinglian Town, Jiangyou City, Mianyang, Sichuan Province. Li Bai Memorial Hall was built in 1982. The memorial hall, surrounded by water on three sides, is elegant and quiet.
