Taibai Tower in She County

　　    Taibai Tower is situated west of Taiping Ancient Bridge and lies along the route from Huangshan to Qiandao Lake. It is a two-story pavilion with overhanging beams and upturned eaves, representing a typical example of Huizhou-style architecture. The tower houses inscribed stone tablets from various dynasties, reproductions of ancient ink rubbings, and couplets written by celebrated figures throughout history. Legend has it that during the Tianbao era of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Li Bai searched for the hermit Xu Xuanping in She County but missed him at the shore of the Lian River. To commemorate this event, later generations built this Taibai Tower at the spot where Li Bai once drank wine. Visitors ascending the tower can enjoy panoramic views of the western mountains, waterscapes, ancient bridges, and pagoda silhouettes.

　　

　　Li Bai (701~762)　　    The Poet Immortal Li Bai (February 8, 701 – December 762), courtesy name Taibai, also known by his art names Qinglian Jushi (Hermit of the Green Lotus) and Zhexian Ren (The Banished Immortal), and nicknamed "Li the Twelfth", was a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty, often mentioned alongside Du Fu as "Li-Du". Li Bai’s literary works are compiled in the "Collected Works of Li Taibai", with masterpieces including "Quiet Night Thought", "Drinking Alone under the Moon", and "Dreaming of the Goddess of the Luo River".

His achievements in yuefu poetry, song-style verse, and quatrains are considered the most outstanding; his style is bold and unrestrained, fresh and graceful, rich in imagination, with marvelous artistic conception and language, embodying a clear romanticism and well-defined themes. There are various theories about the circumstances of Li Bai's death, none of which have reached a definitive consensus... Details+
