Li Bai belongs to the rich second generation, has literary skills, and regards money as dirt. From the gaps in his words, we can see his cynicism and arrogance. "Life is precious and we know each other, why bother with money and money? Situation does not wait for others, and it will turn into silk in a moment." The incense of the Li family finally fell into his hands.

Li Bai (701-762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi, also known as "Exiled Immortal", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was hailed as the "Poetry Immortal" by later generations. Du Fu is also known as "Li Du". The land of abundance is full of talented people. At the age of fifteen, Li Bai had already written many poems (715, the third year of Kaiyuan). He was praised and rewarded by some celebrities and began to engage in social activities. He also began to accept the influence of Taoist thought. He was good at swordsmanship and liked to be a knight.

To say that Li Bai spent his whole life traveling around the mountains and rivers is better to say that he was forced to have no choice but to wander all the way to become an official. When I married in Anlu when I was young, I also relied on my wife’s natal family. For a period of time, Lao Li lived in seclusion near where Princess Yuzhen was practicing, and he just wanted to be supported by Princess Yuzhen. In the end, he got his wish and stayed with the emperor for a while, but it was a pity that he was not the material for an official. Being so close to the emperor, the emperor would not know about a talented person. In the end, he got on the wrong side politically, completely blinded himself in the rebel army, and almost lost his life. His literary talent was impeccable and his political IQ was very low, which led him to be cynical and interpret the darkness of society with his sharp literary pen. He would apply the romantic techniques and ideas in his poetry to cold and realistic politics. How could he not fail?

Many historians and Li Bai experts seem to have never studied what Li Bai relied on to survive. What is his main source of income? Only Teacher Kang Zhen told some stories in "Lectures of Hundreds of Schools" and "Li Bai".

Li Bai went to the country with sword at the age of 25, left his relatives and traveled far away. When he came out, he brought 300,000 gold. Is this gold or copper coins? We all know that Li Bai is a big talker. It is estimated that it is 300,000 copper coins, not gold. Whether it was gold or copper coins, he lost all of them in two years. Mainly in Jinling, he provided food and accommodation for singing girls, drinking and having fun, and visiting famous families.

The records about Li Bai’s personal life anecdotes are also vague. According to records, in 727 AD, Li Bai was ill and poor. Li Bai was introduced by Meng Haoran and went to Anlu. He married the former prime minister in Anlu. Master Xu Yu's granddaughter, Mrs. Xu, is Li Bai's wife. In other words, Li Bai was probably dependent on his father-in-law for his survival during the ten years of Anlu's alcohol addiction. At that time, he had no name and would not have any so-called writing fees. Li Bai's alcohol addiction did not subside for ten years in Anlu. In 735 AD, Li Bai went to Chang'an once. Because he met He Zhizhang, he became famous in the capital. From then on, Li Bai had income from writing fees, and he could eat and drink for free.

Li Bai was addicted to alcohol for ten years in Anlu. Due to various reasons, mainly the internal fighting in the Xu family and rumors spread by Pei Changli, Li Bai came to Yanzhou, Shandong to investigate his life experience. When Li Bai came to settle in Yanzhou, he actually took refuge with a brother of his clan and bought Junyin farmland and real estate. It is estimated to be the money distributed by the Xu family and the proceeds from the sale of the house and residence in Bai Zhaoshan. After Li Bai's wife died, he entrusted his two children to a young Weaver Girl to raise. He traveled to Jiangnan and Kuaiji, Zhejiang, and made friends with the Taoist priest Wu Yun.

Because he wrote "Mocking Rufu" in Shandong, he offended many literati and was expelled. He went to Nanling to sell copper essence. Copper is a medicinal material for smelting elixirs and a material for making weapons. It was a peaceful time at that time, so the possibility of selling copper to make elixirs was relatively high. In Nanling, Li Bai married a prostitute, Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was probably rich at the time. Soon, Mrs. Liu eloped with others. It is estimated that Li Bai has lost his income at this moment. At this time, Li Bai went to Beijing according to the imperial edict, and served as an imperial edict. Being an imperial edict came with rewards and salary. During the three years of his junior year, Li Bai relied on his salary to survive, drinking, fighting cocks, and horse racing.
