Taibai Poetry and Swordsmanship

After watching Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles, I always felt overwhelmed by the banishment of the immortal. The following is the Qinglian Sword Immortal in my heart. Under the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, undercurrents were already surging. Li Bai, a genius who amazes the world with his poetry and is a knight with his swordsmanship, breaks into Chang'an with the ambition of "helping the people and stabilizing the country". However, his background as a merchant was the original sin engraved on his official career, and his wild personality was incompatible with the strict hierarchy. Xuanzong appreciated his poetic talent, but only regarded him as an actor who decorated the prosperous age. In the splendid cage of the Hanlin Academy, he wrote the splendid chapters of "Qing Ping Diao" and also experienced the humiliation of "imperial literati". The iron hoof of the Anshi Rebellion crushed his dreams of prosperity and ignited his last passion. He joined the Yongwang shogunate in his dying days, dreaming of turning the tide like Xie An, but he was trapped in the whirlpool of royal power struggle and became a victim of politics. During the years in prison and on the road to exile, he carried the old sword that had witnessed half his life's honor and disgrace, and on the edge of life and death, he completed his transformation from a knight who "saw injustice with a sword" to a philosopher who "bears suffering with poetry." This is a spiritual epic of Li Bai that strictly follows historical facts. It does not mythologize the poet, but deeply depicts the eternal tear between his "poem" and "sword", "official" and "hidden", "arrogant" and "humble". Against the bloody background of the collapse of the empire, a real Li Bai comes to us - his failure illuminates the complex truth of the transformation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty; his poetry has become a spiritual monument that transcends the times.
