李白卒年新论

Discussion on Li Bai's Year of Death

李白的卒年,依据李阳冰、范传正所记的李白生年和李华所记的李白享年即可确定为大历元年。从曾巩到王琦,对此提出了异议。但他们所提出的依据没有一条是信实可靠的,包括他们认作铁证的《为宋中丞自荐表》,编在至德二载也是不可靠的。要正确地确定李白的卒年,还是要回到李阳冰、范传正和李华那里去。

Li Bai＇s year of death might be the first of Dali,based on Li Yang-bing and Fan Chuan-zheng＇s record and Li Hua＇s record.Nevertheless,Zeng Kong and Wang Qi have raised questions on it though none of the evidence is reliable,including proof from Self-recommendation for Song Assistant Minister of Justice that they have their strong belief is also untrustworthy.To find out Li Bai＇s exact year of death,correct answer might come from Li Yang-bin,Fan Chuan-zheng and Li Hua＇s records.
