The death of Li Bai has always been controversial. Generally speaking, there are three methods of death: drunk death, sick death and drowning.
The first method of death can be found in the Old Book of Tang, which said that Li Bai "died of drunkenness in Xuancheng after drinking too much". It should be credible.
The second method of death can also be found in the textual research of other official history or experts and scholars, and we should not be biased. When Li Guangbi's East Town was near the Huaihe River, Li Bai, regardless of his 61 year old age, went to ask for help to kill the enemy. He hoped that in his twilight years, he would try his best to save the country from danger and return halfway due to illness. The next year, he died of illness at Li Yangbing, the county magistrate of Dangtu and the most famous seal writer in the Tang Dynasty.
The third kind of death rule is often seen in folk legends, which is very romantic and very consistent with the poet's character. Believe it or not. It was said that Li Bai drank on the Dangtu River and drowned when he jumped into the water to catch the moon.
