Li Bai’s travel experience, here are a few examples, the more detailed the better

In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan (725 AD), Li Bai left Shu, "went to the country with his sword, said goodbye to his relatives and traveled far away". He took a boat out of the gorge along the river, and gradually went further and further away. The mountains of his hometown gradually disappeared and became unrecognizable. Only the water flowing out of the Three Gorges still followed him, pushing his boat forward and taking him to a strange and distant place. Go to the city.

1. Fortunately meeting Sima Chengzhen in Jiangling: Li Bai did not expect to have an extraordinary meeting in Jiangling. He actually met Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist priest revered by three generations of emperors. Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist priest from Tiantai, not only learned a complete set of Taoist spells, but he was also good at writing seal script and his poems were as elegant as immortals. Xuanzong respected him very much. He once summoned him to the inner palace to ask for advice on Buddhist scriptures. He also built a balcony for him and sent his sister Princess Yuzhen to learn Taoism with her. Li Bai was naturally very happy to see this favored Taoist priest, and even sent his poems and essays for his review. Sima Chengzhen admired Li Bai's majestic appearance and extraordinary talents at first sight. When he read his poems and essays, he was even more amazed and praised him for his "immortal style and spirit that can travel to the eight extremes of the world." Because he saw that Li Bai not only had extraordinary appearance and bearing, but also had extraordinary talents and writings, and he was not obsessed with the honors and officials of the world. This was a talent he had not seen in the government and in the public sector for decades, so he used the highest Taoist Praise him with words of praise. This means that he has "immortal roots", that is, he has the innate factors to become an immortal. This is similar to He Zhizhang's later praise of him as an "immortal", which means that he is regarded as an extraordinary person. This is the general impression that Li Bai's demeanor and poetry style give people.

Li Bai was delighted by Sima Chengzhen's high evaluation. He is determined to pursue an eternal and immortal world like "Wandering to the Eight Extremes of the Divine World". When he was excited, he wrote a great poem "Ode to the Dapeng Encountering a Rare Bird", using the Dapeng as a metaphor for itself and exaggerating the size and speed of the Dapeng. This is Li Bai's earliest famous article. From Jiangling, he began his journey of thousands of miles.

2. Friends buried in Dongting Li Bai went south from Jiangling, passed through Yueyang, and then went south, then he arrived at one of the destinations of his trip. However, while boating in Dongting, an unfortunate thing happened. Li Bai's traveling companion from Shu, Wu Zhizhi, died of a sudden illness (or was beaten to death). Li Bai was so grief-stricken that he fell beside his friend and cried loudly, "all his tears were followed by blood." Because he cried so painfully, passersby shed tears when they heard him. Encountering such misfortunes on the journey, Li Bai had no choice but to temporarily bury Wu Guide at the Dongting Lake and continue his eastward journey, determined to carry his friend's bones after his southeast trip. Li Bai came to Lushan and wrote the popular "Looking at Lushan Waterfall".

3. Journey to the South of the Yangtze River

Li Bai arrived at Jinling, the ancient capital of the Sixth Dynasty. The mountains and rivers here are majestic, tigers and dragons sit on top of each other, and the experience of the palaces of the Six Dynasties is vivid in my mind. This not only aroused many emotions in Li Bai, but also aroused his pride in the era in which he lived. He believed that the capital in the past was in a state of decline, and there was nothing to admire, and it was not as good as the peaceful scene that the current emperor ruled from the top, and the world was peaceful. Although Jinling's domineering power has disappeared, the children of Jinling received Li Bai affectionately. When Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, Wu Ji poured wine, and the children of Jinling greeted each other attentively and frequently raised glasses to encourage people to drink. The farewell feeling was like a river flowing eastward, flowing through people's hearts and making it unforgettable. After Li Bai bid farewell to Jinling, he headed for Yangzhou from the river. Yangzhou was an international city at that time. Li Bai had never seen such a lively city before, and spent some time with his fellow travelers. In midsummer, Li Bai and some young friends "tied their horses to hang under the willows, holding cups on the side of the road. They saw green water in the sky and green mountains in the sea." It was very pleasant. In the autumn, he fell ill in Huainan (where his governance was in Yangzhou). Lying ill in a foreign country, he had many thoughts. He lamented that his hope for success was slim, and he missed his hometown deeply. The only thing that could bring him some comfort were letters from friends far away.

After Li Bai recovered from his illness in Huainan, he went to Suzhou again. This is the place where King Wu Fu Chai and the beautiful lady Xi Shi sang and danced day and night. Li Bai felt nostalgic about the past and wrote an epic poem "Wu Qi Qu". This poem was later praised by He Zhizhang, saying that it "can make ghosts and gods weep". From this point of view, although Li Bai's Yuefu poems sometimes use old titles, they often have new ideas. The historical relics in Suzhou certainly aroused Li Bai's nostalgia for the past, and the beautiful and innocent Wu Ji and Yue Nu made Li Bai even more admirable. At the foot of Nitaluo Mountain in Huansha, Xishi in the past, Li Bai left beautiful sketches of the Yue girls on the Huansha Stone with his wonderful pen. Li Bai returned from Yuexi and returned to Jingmen. He stayed in Jingmen for three months. Although he was homesick, he had no achievements in his career and felt it was difficult to return home. Finally, he decided to wander again. First, he came to Dongting Lake and moved Wu Guanzhi's bones to Jiangxia (today's Wuchang, Hubei). He met Seng Xingrong in Jiangxia and learned about Meng Haoran's personality from him, so he went to Xiangyang to meet Meng Haoran, and thus wrote the famous five-rhythm poem "Gift to Meng Haoran". Soon, Li Bai arrived in Anlu, in Xiaoshou Mountain. The Taoist temple stayed. However, living in seclusion here was not a long-term solution. He still wanted to look for opportunities to advance in his official career. While living in seclusion in Shoushan, Li Bai used lobbying methods to make friends with officials and improve his reputation. Li Bai's literary talent was appreciated by Xu Yushi, the prime minister of Empress Wu, and he was recruited as his son-in-law. Li Bai and his wife Xu lived a happy married life under the Peach Blossom Rock in Baizhao Mountain, which was close to Xu's family.

However, the beautiful married life did not weaken Li Bai's ambition to wander around in pursuit of success. Based on his wife's family in Anzhou, he traveled several times and got acquainted with some officials and noble princes. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan (734 AD), he paid an audience with Han Chaozong, the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Xiangzhou.
