What is the relationship between Li Bai and Yang Guifei Is it true in the TV drama

What is the relationship between Li Bai and Yang Yuhuan? Is their relationship the same as portrayed in a TV drama? This is a question that many readers are quite concerned about. Let’s learn about it together with all the readers and give you a reference.
We have been learning ancient poetry since childhood, and in the process of our learning, we have come into contact with many poets. My favorite is Li Bai. Li Bai has three characteristics. Firstly, he carries his own fine wine with him and can take a sip wherever he goes; Secondly, Li Bai traveled far and wide with his sword, exuding great elegance and grace; Thirdly, Li Bai’s poetry is very bold and unrestrained. But some people say that there is a relationship between Li Bai and Yang Guifei? It doesn’t exist, don’t be misled by ‘Qingping Yue’ anymore!
When Li Bai was in his forties, his fame was already particularly great. Not only did the literati at that time understand Li Bai’s existence, but even the current emperor Tang Xuanzong heard of Li Bai’s reputation and read his poetry. In addition to his political skills, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also had a prominent characteristic of being proficient in music and many types of musical instruments. When Li Bai gained great fame, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, and Yang Guifei were immersed in the world of singing and dancing every day.
But they kept singing the same song, so they prepared to compose a new song and found someone to write the lyrics. And the person they are looking for is Li Bai. Li Bai had great aspirations since childhood, always wanting to become an official in the court, but this time Emperor Xuanzong of Tang issued three edicts to summon Li Bai into the palace. During the period after Li Bai entered the palace, some people believed that there was some undisclosed relationship between him and Yang Guifei, but in fact, this did not exist at all. Let’s take a look at what Li Bai did in the palace.
At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang made him a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but Li Bai was a relatively casual person. He did not often play in the Hanlin Academy, but often went to drink on the streets of Chang’an City. From this point of view, he did not have much contact with Yang Guifei. Even if they met face-to-face, it was when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked him to help fill in the lyrics. Afterwards, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took Yang Guifei out to play. In order to add fun, he brought Li Bai and asked him to write poetry to show their appreciation. Li Bai then accompanied them out to play.
So, Li Bai didn’t have much time to have any personal contact with Yang Guifei, let alone any improper relationship. If there was any relationship between them, it was that Yang Guifei was once a fan of Li Bai. And those who believe that there is a relationship between Li Bai and Yang Guifei are based on Li Bai’s description of Yang Guifei in his poem “Qingping Yue”. Although there is indeed Li Bai’s description of Yang Guifei in it, it was all written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, so don’t be misled by “Qingping Yue” anymore!
Li Bai and Yang Guifei not only had no intimate relationship, but also almost became enemies later on, also because of the poems written by Li Bai. Initially, Gao Lishi used Li Bai’s poetry to make Yang Guifei hold a grudge against him. It was precisely because of this incident that Li Bai left the palace and continued to live his life of wandering the world with swords. So after reading these, everyone should understand that there is no relationship between Li Bai and Yang Guifei. How do you view this matter?
