Li Tian lived from 601 - 690 AD. His actual birthdate was likely April 18 - currently a day when offerings are made to the monk and fireworks are set off in his honor.
There seems to be some lost-in-translation-type misinformation around the internet that places Li Tian's life a couple hundred years after this, but facts regarding his acquaintanceship with The Emperor Taizong help support the notion that this is simply untrue.
It's interesting to note that a temple was erected in his honor during the Song Dynasty, those dates are the likely source of the confusion.
