History

Li Bai died in 762, during the ruling of Emperor Suzong (756–762) of Tang dynasty (618–907). Li Yangbing, the then magistrate of Dangtu County and relative of Li Bai, buried him at the eastern foot of Dragon Mountain (龙山). In 817, Fan Chuanzheng (范传正), son of Li's friend, alongside Zhuge Zong (诸葛纵), the then magistrate of Dangtu County, reburied him at the western foot of Green Mountain (青山).
