The top ten lay people in ancient China:

Qinglian layman Li Bai, Xiangshan layman Bai Juyi, Liuyi layman Ouyang Xiu, Dongpo layman Su Shi, Huaihai layman Qin Guan, Yi'an layman Li Qingzhao, Shihu layman Fan Chengda, Youqi layman Zhu Shuzhen, Liuru layman Tang Yin, Liuquan layman Pu Songling.

Li Bai (February 8, 701 - December 762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi, also known as "Exiled Immortal". Cheng Ji, a famous romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, Han nationality, whose ancestral home is Longxi. Born in Suiye City (then part of the Anxi Protectorate), he later moved to Sichuan. At the beginning of Tianbao's reign, he entered Chang'an and was recommended to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, waiting for imperial edict. Later, he wandered around the rivers and lakes, and was hired by Yong Wang Li Lin as his staff. Lin raised an army, was defeated, and was exiled to Yelang (in today's Guizhou Province). He was pardoned on the way, and when Tu Yi Li Yangbing arrived, he died soon after. He died of illness in Dangtu, Anhui in 762 at the age of 61.

Li Bai’s lyrics are already legendary among the Song people (such as the first volume of Wen Ying’s "Xiangshan Wild Records"). This is proved by Cui Lingqin's "Jiaofang Ji" and the Dunhuang scrolls handed down today. The lyrics already existed in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. However, it is difficult to determine whether the chapter in this biography actually originated from Taibai. I still record one song each from "Bodhisattvaman" and "Recalling Qin'e". Li Bai was hailed as the "Immortal of Poetry" by later generations, and was called "Li Du" together with Du Fu. The overall style of the poem is fresh and elegant, which not only reflects the prosperity of the times, but also exposes the dissoluteness and corruption of the ruling class, showing contempt for the powerful and the positive spirit of pursuing freedom and ideals.

Bai Juyi (772-846), named Letian, was a native of Taiyuan (now Shanxi). In the third year of Yuanhe (808), he worshiped Zuo Shiyi, and was later demoted to the Sima of Jiangzhou (now part of Jiangxi), and moved to Zhongzhou (now part of Sichuan) to be the governor. Later, he was the governor of Hangzhou, and then the governor of Suzhou and Tongzhou (now part of Shaanxi). He became the minister of the Ministry of punishment. He lived in Luoyang later in life and called himself Mr. Zuiyin and Xiangshan layman. In his early years, his poems were as famous as Yuan Zhen and were called "Yuan Bai"; in his later years, he was as famous as Liu Yuxi and were called "Liu Bai". His poetry has a wide range of themes, diverse forms, and simple and popular language. He is known as the "Poetry Demon" and the "Poetry King". He became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a doctor of Zuo Zanshan. There are not many words, but it has a great influence on later generations. There is "Bai's Changqing Collection". Representative poems include "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", "Charcoal Seller", "Pipa Play", etc. The Bai Juyi Former Residence Memorial Hall is located in the suburbs of Luoyang.

Posthumous title: Wenzhong. There are "Ouyang Wenzhonggong's Modern Yuefu" and "The Drunkard's Musical Interests". Jiguge's original version of "Six Words" is roughly the same as "Jinti Yuefu". Ouyang Xiu loved reading since he was a child, and often borrowed books from the Li family in the south of the city to copy and read. He was talented and hard-working, and often the books could be recited before he finished copying them. Seeing the hope of revitalizing the family, he once said to Ouyang Xiu's mother: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the poverty of the family. Your child has a genius! Not only can he start a business and bring glory to his family, he will definitely be famous all over the world in the future." Ouyang Xiu's prose is rich in content and diverse in form. Whether it is discussion or narration, it is all done with intention and emotion.
