After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, Confucianism became a university question, in the long history of nearly two thousand years, the Tang Dynasty seems to be the most open and inclusive era, living in the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan prosperous era, once wrote a criticism of "Lu Ru", how these Confucians provoked Li Bai, let this romantic and free immortal personally go down, and countered this famous poem that has been passed down through the ages.
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty
I believe that in addition to the Tang Dynasty, in other periods after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if anyone criticizes Confucianism in this way, he will be pointed out by thousands of people, and only the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can tolerate Li Bai's arrogance and arbitrariness.
It should be known that the times have not always progressed, and it is impossible to be as tolerant and open as the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to lack one; the Tang Dynasty perfected the imperial examination and also followed the basic disk of Confucianism, but the Tang Dynasty had its own special situation, and it has not restricted the development of other doctrines.
Li Tang Dynasty traced the Taoist Lao Tzu as its ancestor, the tang Dynasty Taoism and Taoism have developed very well, there are many people who seek immortals, Li Bai has traveled to the mountains and rivers several times, visiting immortals; Li Shimin was helped by the Shaolin Temple when he was fighting, Zen Buddhism was also developed at this time, and the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Wuzong Dynasty, was very friendly to Buddhism.
Tang Dynasty society also allowed the free development of other religious ideas, and in such a society, it nourished Li Bai, a romantic chivalrous guest, who killed one person in ten steps and fought the sword to the end of the world. If Li Bai hadn't lived in such an era of inclusive and open thinking, he really couldn't imagine that his talent could be as free as this, and perhaps he could only be like Liu Yong, who was attached to the Qinglou ChuGuan.
Li Bai", "Mocking Ru"
Li Bai lived in Confucius's hometown in the Kaiyuan period, and the people in the hometown of Confucius and Mengmeng, and the poet immortals of the world, will naturally receive different attention, just like cultural celebrities like Yi Zhongtian, no matter what they do, they have attracted the attention of countless others, and Li Bai's innocence has been enthusiastically responded to by the "elites" there.
Li Bai is a "Hu'er will come out to exchange for fine wine", every day is to drink with friends and indulge, laughing proud of the rivers and lakes; Confucian students in the land of Qilu look at it, this guy says every day that he has great talent in the heavens and the earth, just like this, day by day like an alcoholic, he also likes to hold a sword everywhere to show off, he does not know convergence at all, people like him, will spend the day and wine, take something to Kuang Jun to assist the country, to benefit the community and the people.
Li Bai was very unhappy when he heard this, and directly shot back, "Lu Suo talked about the Five Classics, and the white hair died. Ask for economic policy, like smoke falling. On a long trip, he wears a square scarf for the first time. Slowly walk from the straight, before the line to pick up the dust. The Qin family is a chancellor's mansion, and it does not re-praise people. Junfei Uncle Sun Tong, and I Ben Shu Lun. Current events have not yet arrived, and they belong to the waterfront of The Ploughing Wen. Don't you like to laugh, and look at your own virtues, can you still laugh?
In Li Bai's eyes, these Lu Ru are simply a bunch of old-fashioned, completely without any thoughts, everything will be rigid, and they are not all the way people, they live in this Tang Dynasty, famous in the world with their talents, these people are not even worthy to carry their shoes, or go to Wenshui to farm for the rest of their lives!
Li Bai is the weather of the Tang Dynasty gave him the soil for an inclusive life, if he lived in the Ming and Qing dynasties, people like Li Bai are estimated to be unable to go out of Shandong, Li Bai's arrogance of "wielding a sword to break the floating clouds, and the princes come to the west" should be grateful for living in the era of the Kaiyuan dynasty, he added icing on the cake to the times, and the times also created Li Bai's glory.
epilogue
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty made Tang poetry embark on the peak of literature, and countless poets bloomed their talents here, and it was precisely this soil that allowed Li Bai to write countless masterpieces, leaving behind the poems of immortals, giving everyone an imaginable Chang'an weather.
