再论李白生卒年问题

A Restudy of the Year of Li Bai's Birth and Death

李白卒年,历来诸说纷纭,致其享年亦无定说。李士训《记异》中明白记载了李白“大历初”仍在人世的资料,却始终未被研究者重视。李文结合唐代诸家碑传、序文,考察李白系年诗文,证明李白应生于神龙初年(约705)、卒于大历初年(约766),享年62岁。

There have been various controversies about the year of Li Bai＇s death, and none of them is accepted as fixed answer. The author probes into the new unearthed historical datum that Li Bai was still alive at the beginning of Dali Period, tombstones and articles of the Tang Dynasty and the years of the poems and articles written by Li Bai, then draws a conclusion that he was born in the 2nd year of Shenlong period （705） in Jiangyou, Sichuan province and died in the 2nd year of Dali Period （766） when he was 62 years old.
