Leaving Baidi Town Early - Li Bai (Tang Dynasty) signed and with seals, 51" x 12" sheet on 75" x 15" blue brocade scroll.In 755 AD, a rebellion against the government led to the abdication of Emperor Xuanzong. Li Bai, a renowned poet at the time, sided with Prince Lin, the emperor's 16th son, who fought for the throne. However, after Lin was defeated and executed, Li Bai was exiled to Yelang. A year later, when Emperor Xuanzong died, Li Bai was pardoned. Thus, Li Bai wrote this poem when he was sailing back home on the Yangtze River, finally released from his exile.
