Qu Yuan was born in a noble family, and he was good at managing chaos and adept at rhetoric. Therefore, he was deeply favored by King Huai of Chu in his early years. He was Zuotu and Sanlu doctor. In order to realize the great cause of the unification of the Chu State, Qu Yuan actively assisted King Huai in reforming and strengthening the country internally, and firmly advocated uniting Qi to resist Qin externally, which made the Chu State become rich and powerful, and powerful among the princes. However, due to sharp conflicts between Qu Yuan and the decadent aristocratic group of Chu state in domestic and foreign affairs, and due to the jealousy of Shangguan officials and others, Qu Yuan was later framed by a small group and alienated by King Huai of Chu.

So Qu Yuan was ordered to send an envoy to Qi to restore the old friendship between Qi and Chu.

In the twenty-fourth year of King Huai's reign, Qin and Chu formed an alliance with Huang Ji, and Chu State completely fell into the arms of Qin. Qu Yuan was also expelled from Yingdu and arrived in northern Han Dynasty.

In the 30th year of King Huai's reign, Qu Yuan returned to Yingdu. In the same year, Qin invited King Huai to meet at Wuguan. King Huai was detained by Qin and eventually died in Qin.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he migrated to Suiye City in Central Asia (near today’s Tokmak, northern Kyrgyzstan), where Li Bai was born. . When he was five years old, his family moved to Mianzhou Mingming County (now Jiangyou, Sichuan). At the age of twenty, he left Sichuan alone and began to roam extensively, reaching Dongting and Xiangjiang River in the south, Wu and Yue in the east, and settled in Anlu (today's Anlu City, Hubei Province). He traveled around, hoping to make friends and meet celebrities, so that he could be recommended and climb to a high position to realize his political ideals and ambitions. However, after ten years of wandering, nothing was achieved. He continued to travel north to Taiyuan and Chang'an, to the east to Qi and Lu, and settled in Rencheng, Shandong (now Jining, Shandong). At this time, he had made friends with many celebrities, composed a large number of excellent poems, and his poems were famous all over the world. In the early years of Tianbao, he was recommended by the Taoist Wu Renjun. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty summoned him to Beijing and ordered him to serve the Imperial Academy.

Li Bai lived in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the common people" and "anli yuan", and worked hard to realize this ideal throughout his life. His large number of poems not only reflected the prosperity of that era, but also exposed and criticized the dissoluteness and corruption of the ruling group, showing his positive spirit of contempt for the powerful, resisting the constraints of tradition, and pursuing freedom and ideals. In terms of art, his poems have novel imagination, strong emotions, majestic and magnificent artistic conception, and fresh and bright language.

( Regarding Li Bai’s death, there have always been different opinions, and there is no consensus. Generally speaking, it can be summarized into three ways of death: one is death by drunkenness, the other is death by illness, and the third is death by drowning. The first way of death can be seen in The "Old Book of Tang" says that Li Bai "died in Xuancheng due to excessive drinking", which should be more credible. The second method of death is also found in other official historians or experts and scholars, and it cannot be believed that Li Guangbi died. When he was in Linhuai, East Town, Li Bai ignored the 61-year-old age and went to ask for a tassel to kill the enemy after hearing the news. He hoped that in his twilight years, he would do his best to save the country from danger. He returned due to illness and died of illness the next year. The third method of death is often found in folk legends, which is very romantic and consistent with the poet's character. It is believed or not that Li Bai jumped into the water to catch the moon due to drunkenness while drinking on the river in Dangtu. But no matter which way he died, it was directly related to his participation in Yong Wang Li Lin's rebellion. Because Li Bai was exiled to Yelang and ended his legendary and troubled life shortly after being pardoned. This is an indisputable fact. Facts. Looking at Li Bai's three ways of death, the author believes more in the "Old Book of Tang")
