Li Bai's tomb has always been controversial in history. A common saying is that Li Bai lived at the foot of Longshan Mountain in Dangtu in his later years (now the site of Longshan Cement), and was hastily buried at the foot of Longshan Mountain after his death. Li Bai admired Xie Tiao, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie Tiao was buried in Qingshan. Therefore, Li Bai has the wish of "being buried in the green hills after death and living next to Xie Tiao". Li Bai died of poverty and illness, and for various reasons, he was unable to be buried in Qingshan. After 55 years (817), Tang Xuancheng's observation made Fan Chuanzheng help him realize this last wish. Fan Chuanzheng and Li Bai are both from the Tang Dynasty. His father once accompanied Li Bai in a banquet in Xunyang. When he was a teenager, he read many poems of Li Bai and admired him. During the Yuanhe period, Fan Chuanzheng went to Xuancheng as an observer, learned that Li Bai was buried unexpectedly, and when he found Li Bais Tomb, he saw that there were no graves and weeds everywhere, which made him feel sad. He told Zhuge Zong, the magistrate of Dangtu County, to try to find Li Bai's two granddaughters living in the countryside. "One is Chen Yun's room, and the other is Liu Quan's wife." The second woman said, "After the death of my ancestors, although my father Boqin was an cremation, he had no official position and died of illness, leaving three of my brothers and sisters. My brother went out and didn't come home. My two daughters were helpless, married to a farmer, and were made up to be a beggar. They were not allowed to farm and lived in poverty. " Fan Chuanzheng was moved by it and said to the second daughter, "It is planned to reset the sign of Li Gong's house with the ceremony of official burial." And told Zhuge county magistrate to distribute it to the second daughter Sangtian, exempting all corvees and treating them with courtesy. On the other day, I took the warlock to the sun of the green hills and chose a piece for Li Bai, "north by Xie Jiaqing Mountain, resting on the ground, facing Danze, leaning on Qinglong, 3 steps south by the post road, close to Xie Gongzhai, and far to Tongtian Road." A treasure trove of feng shui. The following year, on the 23rd of the first month, I welcomed God into the house. To this end, Fan Chuanzheng wrote more than 2, words of "The New Epitaph", including "Striving for strength, intended to be outside Wan Li, and dying in an empty valley. Only Yu Jungu, the price is heavy ... " "Late years old, crossing Niuzhuji, to the aunt, Yue Xie Guqing Mountain, there is a final ambition. Wandering around, I died here. His life is also a noble scholar of the sacred dynasty, and his future is also a descendant of Tu. " "Today's burial of a scholar-bureaucrat will aim at the tomb, and there will be a house of virtue and morality, and a monument will be built on the road. Yu Cai's skill is poor and empty, so it can't be achieved twice. Today, a new tomb inscription is made, and two stones are published. One is placed in the spring, the other is on the road, and the meaning of Hanchuan is also the first, and the sound of ordinary fragrance is not lost ... "When we look at it, it is only 3 kilometers from the east foot of Longshan to the Yang of Qingshan.
There is another saying about Li Bai's graveyard since the Tang Dynasty. The poem "Li Bais Tomb" by Bai Juyi, a poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty, says: "Quarrying Li Bai's grave by the river, the fields are surrounded by infinite grass and clouds; Poor barren ridges and poor springs, there have been earth-shattering texts. " It seems that Li Bai's tomb is in Caishiji. According to experts' calculation by year, Bai Juyi came to pick the rocky mountain only one year later than Fan Chuanzheng moved to Li Bais Tomb. It stands to reason that he should know that Li Bais Tomb has moved to Castle Peak. Why did he say "Quarrying Li Bai's grave by the river"? Jia Dao, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, has a poem "Niuzhu", which says, "There is a deep spiritual house under the great river; Cliff-prone rock, self-excited by echo; If you don't see the rhinoceros burner, you will remember the whale rider; Boarding the boat to the dangerous pavilion, the moth eyebrows look at the blue. " The "whale rider" in the poem refers to Li Bai, which means that after Li Bai fell into the river, he rode a whale to the sky. Mei Yaochen, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Giving Gong Fu under the Quarrying Moon": "I smell the fallen immortals under the quarrying moon and sit on a fishing boat in a brocade robe at night; Drunk, I love the moon hanging at the bottom of the river, and I turn my body over with my hands; You shouldn't be hungry, so you can ride a whale to the sky. " Li Bai's death is even more concrete and deified. Is Li Bai buried in Longshan (Qingshan) or Caishiji after his death? According to the local chronicles since the Qing Dynasty, Li Bais Tomb, a stone-picking city, is called the "cenotaph", and Castle Peak is the burial place of Li Baixian's bones. In my opinion, there is no contradiction between Bai Juyi's poems, Jia Dao's poems and Mei Yaochen's poems in memory of Li Bai. Caishiji is a military fortress and a scenic spot for literati. Caishiji is only a dozen kilometers away from Qingshan, and it is not a mistake for the poet to take Caishiji as the name of Qingshan. Some local people with good intentions read the poems of the ancients. In order to cater to tourists' desire to find Li Bais Tomb, it is also reasonable to set up a Li Bai cenotaph near Caishiji. According to reports, Li Bai's Yiguanzhong was originally in the middle of the playground of the First Primary School in Caishi Town. In 1972, it was moved to the middle of Cuiluo Mountain. This is the same reason that many places now claim to have found "the hometown of Liang Zhu", "the tomb of Cao Cao" and "the ruins of He Lv City". It is also necessary to develop the tourism economy!
