In order not to be an official and do something out of the ordinary, the emperor not only did not blame him, but waved a big hand: let him go

Welcome to see this article on history of xiaobian, if you can bring you a little knowledge and analysis, it is the honor of xiaobian, let's take a look at it with Xiaobian!

Since ancient times, under the influence of the concept of "learning and excellence", everyone dreams of becoming an official, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was a bunch of "disgusted officials" who did not want officials. The literati of the Tang Dynasty had clear barriers, one was to sharpen their heads and drill into the official field, and the other was to regard the official position as a plague god, avoiding it, and the way they escaped from the official field was even more unimaginable.

Pretending to be ill was a common excuse for the Tang Dynasty 'tired of officialdom' to get out of official positions, and even worse, when they heard that officials climbed over the wall, they ran. Cui Xinming's younger brother was on an errand under Dou Jiande, and in order to attract talents, Dou Jiande ordered his brother to persuade him and promised a good seat, and cui Xinming, upon hearing of this, fled over the city wall to the depths of the Taihang Mountains.

At the beginning of the new century, Lu Haoran's erudition reached Xuanzong's ears, Xuanzong recruited him, Lu Haoran did not dare to resist the will, came to the eastern capital Luoyang, Xuanzong hurriedly put on a banquet to entertain, in the conversation, said to give a seat of advice to the doctor, asked him if he would do it? Haoran said firmly, do not dry. Emperor Xuanzong was helpless and issued an edict to return it to the mountain.

Among the many literati, there are people like Luo Binwang who don't want to be an official and don't quit, and there are people like Lu Yu who slip away. There is also a more cattle person, who took the imperial examination just to verify his talent, such as the talent Shi Shoulder Wu. In the fifteenth year of Yuan He, Lu Chubang Jinshi and the First Empress left a poem in his thanks to Chen Shilang of the Rebbe: "There are no relatives in the Nine Cities, and the only surname of shi among the eight hundred people is Shi." Before the appointment came down, he said home.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were roughly several reasons for the emergence of "official-weary families":

The first is the character of the literati. Many literati in the Tang Dynasty were quite confident and resigned if their official positions did not meet the ideal requirements. On the surface, it seems that they hate being an official, but in fact, they are showing a dissatisfaction or accumulating chips through resignation. In addition, the wandering skeleton and wandering the rivers and lakes were the fashion trends of the literati at that time, and many people followed the trend, were obsessed with the rivers and lakes, and were not interested in official positions.

The second is the livelihood of the family. During the Kaiyuan period, many literati could basically live a satisfactory life, they did not have to work hard in the official field to fish for oil and water, and it was a pleasant thing to chant and sing in the poetry altar, so some literati regarded the official position very lightly.

Third, the situation is turbulent. Zhongjun thought implied that literati could not dance with thieves, so many literati heard the change of official color when the situation was turbulent and did not want to be high. Some literati who are not politically sensitive often mistakenly enter the thief's ship and have difficulty maintaining their integrity, as is the case with Li Bai. However, the "official-weary family" can protect themselves wisely.

The fourth is the darkness of the officialdom. The tang dynasty officialdom was varied, the harsh rule of wu Zetian during the period, the Yang clan in the Xuanzong period, and the participation of officials and eunuchs in different periods in politics, so that some literati saw the sinisterness of the officialdom in the hook and the corner. History proves that many literati were short-lived in the political arena of the Tang Dynasty, and many of them ended up in a very tragic end, either exiled to the frontier or killed and imprisoned, which made some talented people who saw through the red dust afraid in front of the official position. Therefore, living in seclusion in the mountains and away from official positions has become the best choice for some literati to escape from reality.

In order not to be an official and do something out of the ordinary, the emperor not only did not blame him, but waved a big hand: let him go

In short, the background of the emergence of the "official-weary family" in the Tang Dynasty is complex, and the reasons are also manifold. Among them, it is commendable that the arrogance and demeanor of the "officials-weary clan" of the Tang Dynasty seem to be a kind of wordless whipping for those who bend their waists when they see five buckets of rice, and have weak legs when they see the official hats.
