Eating soft food, gang fighting, mixing in the underworld, dreaming of slashing people in the downtown... Can such a ruffian image be equated with "Poetic Immortal" Li Bai? Tan Zuowen, a PhD in Classical Chinese Literature from Peking University and lecturer at the School of Chinese Language and Literature at Capital Normal University, believes that Li Bai was the number one ruffian in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he specifically wrote a book entitled "The Real Record of the Tang Dynasty's Number One Ruffian: Li Bai" to expound on his viewpoint.
