=======================
Literature is the expression of individual life value.
Liu Jianhui
From the perspective of modern psychology, everyone has the desire to realize self-worth, not to mention the literati in ancient China who actively explored the meaning and value of life?
The sense of value of literati's individual life is mainly the confidence of literati in their individual talents. They believe that they will show their abilities in society, even in politics, assist the king, benefit the people, and even turn against Gan Kun. In a sense, these thoughts are basically derived from Confucianism's active entry into the WTO, and this kind of thought will generally show positive spirit in poetry, and such poetry will often show birth, vitality, self-confidence and pride. For example, 42-year-old Li Bai sang: "Laugh and watch the sky go out. Are we Artemisia people?" Such a confident and arrogant poem was sent to Chang 'an by Xuanzong. Du Fu's early poem "Looking at Yue" also contains the heroic spirit of "reaching the top, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". ; Living in the chaotic politics of the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin also wrote a poem in the poem "Stabilizing the Tower", which revealed his concern for the national luck of the late Tang Dynasty and his great ambition in official career. Xin Qiji also expressed the heroic spirit of "seeing Wu Gou and shooting railings all over the ground" in "The Water Dragon Hides on the Sword and Kang Shang Xin Ting"; Mao Zedong also expressed in "Qinyuanchun Changsha" that "Who is in charge of ups and downs in the vast land?" Ambition and ambition. Wait, the list goes on. The self-confidence and pride of scholars who actively join the WTO are often too idealistic and easily crushed by social reality. When this sense of individual value encounters various setbacks, it is easy for literati to express frustration and dissatisfaction with society and kings in their poems. There are many poems with this emotion in our high school Chinese textbooks, such as Du Fu's Three Poems, Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, Li Shangyin's Jinse and Su Shi's Red Cliff Nostalgia.
In addition, there is another emotion that often appears in poetry and deserves our attention. That is, when the individual value of literati is frustrated in social reality, many literati will choose to be open-minded and live a chic life. For example, Su Shi's Ding Fengbo in high school Chinese textbook expresses the author's magnanimity in the face of life twists and turns.
