According to the legend of later generations, Li Chunfeng's master was Yuan Tiangang, but this is not the case.
In the second year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, Li Chunfeng was born in Yong, Qizhou. He was smart and studious since childhood, and was well-read, especially proficient in astronomy, calendar, mathematics, etc.
Li Chunfeng's father, Li Bo, served as a minor official in the county government during the Sui Dynasty. Due to his low rank and lack of ambition, he abandoned his official position and became a Taoist priest. He was quite learned and named himself Huang Guanzi. He annotated and wrote ten volumes of local chronicles, etc. Li Chunfeng, who was known as a "child prodigy" since childhood, was well-read under the influence of his father, and was especially fond of astronomy, geography, Taoism, and the study of yin and yang.
In the seventh year of the Sui Dynasty, nine-year-old Li Chunfeng went to Jingyun Temple in Nantuo Mountain to worship Taoist Master Yuan as his teacher. In the fourteenth year of Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and Li Shimin was granted the title of King of Qin. In the second year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng, who was seventeen years old, returned to his hometown. Recommended by Li Er's friend Liu Wenjing, he became a member of the Qin Prince's Office and joined the army.
In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng was awarded the title of General Official and served in the Taishi Bureau. In the Taishi Bureau, which holds the responsibilities of astronomy, geography, calendar making, and history compilation, he fully demonstrated his talents. Once he entered the Taishi Bureau, he dedicated himself to it for forty years!
"Yan'er, actually, my father didn't want you to enter Yanhuang Academy. You have been extremely smart since you were a child, and you are quite spiritual. If my father's expectations are correct, you will definitely inherit my father's mantle in the future. But now you have gone Yanhuang Academy, it’s really hard to say in the future!”
In the study, Li Chunfeng glanced at his son and sighed.
Li Yan was about to speak when he heard his mother's voice from outside: "Yan'er, husband, dinner is ready, come out and eat!"
"Okay, mother!"
Li Yan responded quickly, and Li Chunfeng smiled when he saw this, and then took his son out to eat.

"Guanyin Maid, look at how this article is written~?"
West Garden of the Imperial Palace, Li Zheng Hall.
Li Er put down his writing brush, picked up a piece of rice paper on the desk, walked to the bedside, and smiled at Queen Changsun.
"When His Majesty came over, he focused on the book desk. I have wanted to take a look at it for a long time~!"
Changsun chuckled lightly, took it, unfolded it, and was surprised: "Ah! Your Majesty's calligraphy has improved again~"
"Really~? Haha~!"
Li Er felt proud and simply sat down, holding Empress Changsun's waist, and started watching with her.
"Old people often think about the past, and young people often think about the future. Only thinking about the past..."
Changsun smiled, and then focused on the content of the text. After seeing the beginning clearly, she couldn't help but read it out softly.
As he continued to read further, the surprise on the eldest grandson's face became more and more intense. He read, "The wisdom of young people makes the country wise, the richness of young people makes the country rich, the strength of young people makes the country strong, the independence of young people makes the country independent,... Red Sun When it first rises, its path shines brightly; when a river emerges from its undercurrent, it plunges into the vast ocean; when a hidden dragon soars into the abyss, its scales and claws fly." During this majestic parallelism, Empress Changsun's breathing became a little rapid, until the end, "Beautiful is my young China, and the sky. "I am not old! I am a strong Chinese young man, and I have no borders with my country." When Queen Changsun seemed to feel the heart-rending roars and thunderous shouts of the person who wrote the article, her whole body was trembling, and the person next to her was shaking. Li Er could feel the trembling on her body.
"Your Majesty, this, this article is so shocking! I am a prostitute. After reading this article, I can't help but feel excited!"
Empress Changsun took a few deep breaths to calm down her turbulent heart. Then she looked at Li Er and said.
Li Erxiao asked: "Haha~! This is not shocking. It would be shocking if someone could read it out! Guanyin Maid, guess who wrote this article?"
Queen Changsun's gentle eyes turned slightly, and then she smiled and said: "I guess this article was written by Li Zexuan, right~?"
Li Eryi was startled and asked curiously: "Guanyin maid, how do you know?"
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "Looking at your Majesty's reaction, it seems that I guessed it right!"
Then she explained: "No one in the court could write such a passionate and passionate article, and besides attending the morning court today, His Majesty went to the Yanhuang Academy outside the city to attend the opening ceremony. So this article must have been read by Xiaoxuan at the opening ceremony, right?"
After listening to Empress Changsun's analysis, Li Er exclaimed: "The empress is still thoughtful. I got Guanyin, this is a great blessing in my life, haha~!"

Fangfu, study.
"This Li Zexuan is so courageous!"
Fang Xuanling looked at the words on the desk and sighed with his hands behind his hands. The content of the word "Fu" is exactly what Li Zexuan gave his speech in the afternoon.
Fang Yizhi, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement: "After listening to this in the afternoon, the child admired Li Ze... the mountain chief. It is unimaginable that he is not yet fifteen years old!"
Fang Xuanling turned around, looked at his eldest son, the most "reliable" among his sons, and said:
"Whether it is the line of civil servants or the line of military officers in the court, our descendants are hard to compare with Li Zexuan! Since you, Yi Zhi, have been admitted to Yanhuang Academy this time, you can study there. If It’s great to be able to learn 10% of Li Zexuan’s knowledge! What’s more, His Majesty wants to strongly support Li Zexuan and Yanhuang Academy! The Fang family’s current glory is all given by Your Majesty, so we must always follow Your Majesty, go!”
Fang Yizhi said respectfully: "My child understands, please forgive me father!"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Well, I have always been at ease with you as a father, but Yi Ai, you have to urge him to study hard in the future so that he doesn't hang around with Du He and King Lu all day long. You can teach him when you have time." Once I teach him the lessons from Yanhuang Academy, I will be relieved if he can be admitted to Yanhuang Academy next year. I heard that Li Zexuan is quite good at studying."
Lao Fang's thinking is a bit like some modern parents who think their children are too noisy and are eager to send their children to school to be disciplined by teachers.
A hint of helplessness flashed on Fang Yizhi's face. He was obviously troubled by this disobedient brother, but in front of Fang Xuanling, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only say: "Yes, father, the child will pay attention." !”
At the same time, he mourned for Li Zexuan in his heart, thinking that if Fang Yiai also entered Yanhuang Academy in the future, Li Zexuan would be the one who would have a headache.
"Well, that's very good! But don't neglect your studies, as your father is getting old, and the Fang family will have to rely on you in the future! I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that you can live a healthy life~ !”
Fang Xuanling sighed with emotion, then hunched his back and left the study. Fang Yi looked straight at his father's back, inexplicably seeing the sadness of a hero in his old age, and his nose felt a little sore.
