The Influence of Legalist Thought on Li Bai

The influence of legalism on Li Bai is as follows:

1, pragmatism:

Legalist thought advocates pragmatism as the core and pursues practical effect and utility. This emphasis on pragmatism can also be seen in Li Bai's poems.

For example, the poem "Where the eagle is in hand, the gray head may be destroyed by the falling flowers" in Into the Wine shows the poet's heroism and passion, but it also implies his understanding of the brevity and impermanence of life and emphasizes the practical significance of life.

2, authority and law:

Legalist thought advocates the importance of authority and law, which is the key to maintaining social stability and order. In Li Bai's poems, we can also see the characteristics of this heavy weight method.

For example, "Looking for him in the crowd, looking back suddenly, people are there, and the lights are dim" in Into the Wine shows the poet's respect and awe for authority and law, and also shows his concern for social order.

However, it should be pointed out that although Li Bai has been exposed to legalism, legalism does exist in his ideological system. In addition, Li Bai's poems and songs also expressed his dissatisfaction with social reality and his criticism of Confucianism. Therefore, the influence of legalism on Li Bai is limited, and Li Bai's ideological system is a diversified synthesis.

Li Bai's life story:

1, Introduction of Li Bai

Li Bai (February 28th, 7065438+0—65438+February 762) was born in Changlong County, Mianzhou, Shu County (now Qinglian Township, jiangyou city, Sichuan Province) and Longxi. He was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, known as "Poet Fairy", and was also called "Du Li" with the poet Du Fu.

Li Bai's life story is rich and colorful.

He spent most of his life roaming around China. He made many celebrities and wrote many excellent poems. However, he did not enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, but relied on his own talent and the recommendation of others to embark on his official career.

Appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Chang 'an, he served as an academician sacrifice, and his articles became famous all over the world. However, because he couldn't meet dignitaries, he gave up his official position and continued his wandering life after only three years in Beijing.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Bai was filled with indignation and had participated in the Wang Yong shogunate Li Lin. Unfortunately, Wang Yong and Su Zong competed for the throne. After the defeat, Li Bai was dragged down and exiled Yelang. After being forgiven on the way, he continued his wandering career. In his later years, he lived in Lingli's home in dangtu county. Last year, he died at the age of 62.
