According to Anqi's Notes on the Chronology of Li Bai's Complete Works and Yu Xianhao's Selected Works of Li Bai, Wang Tianmen Mountain was written at the turn of spring and summer in the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (725). At that time, Li Baichu, who was 25 years old, left Bashu and took a boat to Jiangdong via Dangtu (now Anhui) for the first time.

Li Bai once presented the Hanlin in the first year of Tianbao, Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (742). Once the emperor was drunk and asked Li Bai, "What was the dynasty between me and Tianhou?" Bai said, "The queen of heaven has many political affairs, and the country is fortunate to be raped. Just like the melons in the children's market, you don't choose the fragrant ones, you choose the fat ones; I am the one who gets the essence of anyone, such as gold from washing sand and stone from cutting stone. " Xuanzong laughed after listening.

But because of his unruly personality, he left Chang 'an in less than two years. It is said that it is because he has not been reused.

Later, he met Du Fu, another famous poet in China in the Tang Dynasty, and became good friends. After the An Shi Rebellion broke out, in February 65438 +756, in order to quell the An Shi Rebellion, Li Bai was invited to be a staff officer.

After Wang Yong angered Tang Suzong and was killed, Li Bai was also found guilty and imprisoned. Soon after, he was exiled to Yelang (now Tongzi, Guizhou). He was pardoned in exile at the age of 59. According to the official book Old Tang Book, although Li Bai was pardoned and exiled, he died drunk in Xuancheng because of excessive drinking on the way.

Li Bai wrote a large number of poems in his life, and there are more than 900 poems that have been handed down so far, mainly including Difficulties in Shu Dao, Difficulties in Going to Heaven, Jiang, Thoughts on a Quiet Night and so on. , and discipline. His poetry creation involves a wide range of China classical poetry themes, and there are many excellent works on many themes.

His favorite genres are mainly ancient poems, including ancient poems and Yuefu poems, but there are also many swan songs in modern poetry genres such as metrical poems and quatrains. Two words that were not popular in the Tang Dynasty are considered to be Li Bai's works, namely, Bodhisattva Man and Qin Yi 'e, which were called "the ancestor of one hundred generations of lyrics and songs" by Huang Sheng in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are also a few people who suspect that Li Bai did not do it.
