Do you know that Li Bai, the Poet Fairy, is a Han nationality? His original surname is Li, and his first name is Bai?

It was handed down from the Han people. Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, had no official name when he was seven years old. Li Bai grabbed the Book of Songs when he was over one year old, and ruined his father. He was also worried about the name: wouldn't it be a pity if his son really became a poet when he grew up? Father thought about it, but he couldn't think of it more and more.

One spring many years later, the father intended to test his son's talent, so he recited two sentences: "Spring breeze brings warm flowers, spring flowers bloom first ..." After two awkward words, Li Bai's mother replied: "Apricot trees are on fire, and red clouds are falling." As soon as his mother's voice fell, Li Bai pointed to the plum tree in full bloom in the yard and blurted out, "Li Bai is in full bloom."

Father was overjoyed: isn't the first word of this poem his own surname? Isn't the last word "white" a symbol of Li Hua's elegance and holiness? So he immediately decided to name his son "Li Bai". This name permeates Li Bai's life ideal and pursuit. "The son of heaven can't get on the boat and calls himself Brewmaster." Li Bai's later virtue of not being greedy for official career and despising powerful people is the best implication of his name.

The word "Taibai" about Li Bai comes from a dream that his mother accidentally had. It is said that Li Bai's mother dreamed of Venus before giving birth. The ancients thought it was auspicious to dream of Taibai Star, so Li Bai expressed the word "Taibai".

The origin of Li Bai's claim to be a "violet layman" is related to his love for lotus flowers.

Li Bai once lived in Qinglian Township, Changlong, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan), where Galois was abundant. Li Bai likes Galand very much and often mentions Galand's fresh personality. He once wrote many famous sentences praising utpala, such as "clear water gives birth to hibiscus, and carving is natural." Such famous sentences praise Udora, which is also the true embodiment of his noble character and bold personality. His self-name reflects his active pursuit of noble life.

In addition, Li Bai's name "Qinglian layman" is also related to his advocacy of Buddhism. Li Bai believes in Buddhism, and "violets" are sacred objects of Buddhism. Its color ranks first among blue, yellow, red and white lotus flowers, and its artistic conception is very high. A layman is a Buddhist who never becomes a monk. Therefore, "Violet Lay Man" can better reflect his attitude of respecting Buddha.
