《Chang An》The root cause of Li Bai's unsatisfactory career

A video shows that Li Baigan paid homage to the powerful, but the reason why the powerful did not want to see and worship him: - The Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty - it is stipulated in the Six Codes of the Tang Dynasty that officials and colleagues who have achieved great success, are personally engaged in industry and commerce, and have specialized in their own business are not allowed to become officials.《Old Tang Book - Zhiguanzhi 》 also said: Industrial and commercial families should not be given to scholars.In a word, industrial and commercial people, not only can you not be an official yourself, but also your close relatives, right?The son cannot become an official either.So in this case, if Li Bai wanted to take the imperial examination, there was no way, it was as simple as that.Therefore, if Li Bai wanted to become a Hanlin bachelor in the end, he would have to rely on Princess Yuzhen's recommendation. He would not be able to participate in the imperial examination.

Literati in ancient times diligently pursued fame and fame. This was the traditional ideal of the literati class in feudal society. They cultivated themselves, managed their families, governed the country, and brought peace to the world. Intellectuals had the world in mind and hoped to participate in the national process and make great achievements in politics.During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, poets' enthusiasm for fame reached a new peak.

On the one hand, the imperial examination system has been stable and mature in the Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination system broke the solidified class structure of %no poor families in the upper class and no gentry in the lower class, allowing children from poor families to have opportunities to become officials. Many talented scholars were optimistic about their future and believed in their own talents.Talents will definitely be put to use.On the other hand, besides the imperial examination system, there were other channels for talent selection in the Tang Dynasty, such as the recommendation system, where dignitaries could directly recommend talents to the court.In order to win the favor of dignitaries, many poets would promote themselves to them. Ganye poems (equivalent to self-recommendation letters written to celebrities) also reached their peak in the Tang Dynasty.

No matter Li Bai, Du Fu or Gao Shi, they all wrote a lot of poems about dry greetings. Li Bai wrote especially many, and his writing was particularly straightforward - he not only praised himself for his hard work, but also praised the other party (for flattering the other party) for his hard work.A controversial scene in the movie is when Li Bai was rejected after sending a poem to him, he became angry and danced his sword and scared passers-by, but then quickly calmed down and drank away his sorrows.

After that, the movie further depicts in detail how Li Bai wants to be an official and loves being an official from Gao Shi's perspective.For example, Li Bai married into a wealthy family to get rid of his identity as the son of a businessman and find a shortcut to enter the official career; for example, Li Bai finally got the recommendation and paid an audience with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Chaotian Palace. Li Bai, who was at the peak of his official career, drank and caroused and was arrogant; after repeated setbacks,, Li Bai resolutely stated that he wanted to join the Taoism, but a few years later Gao Shi heard the news that Li Bai had married again; what was even more fatal was that after the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai chose the wrong political camp and entered the service of King Yong, writingThe flatterer《Yongwang Dongxunge》is charged with beheading...

In short, the movie's presentation of Li Bai's love for being an official is not exaggerated - although there is a certain deviation from the Li Bai we know in textbooks.Historically, even though Li Bai was exiled due to the Yongwang incident, he still remained obsessed with being an official and continued to write many poems in greetings until the end of his life.
