The Mystery of Li Bai (209-2) || Li Bai's poems repeatedly write about what kind of feelings did Confucius convey to him?
Some people say that Li Bai despises Confucianism and looks down on "Confucianism". Even if Li Bai wrote a poem "Mocking Confucianism", it does not prove that Li Bai despised Confucius and Confucianism. Because this Ruru "asked about economic strategies and fell into smoke at a loss", his thinking was rigid, his behavior was pedantic, and he did not know how to change the world, let alone help the world. I only know that I am full of food all day long, and put on a smelly shelf of a reader, which is the "Kong Yiji" who parasitized in the Tang Dynasty. He also had similar ridicules elsewhere: "Stir up chaos is a heroic saint, and the common Confucianism can be tong? ("Dengguangwu Ancient Battlefield Huaigu") "Yu is a strong man of Chu, not Lu Zhusheng. ("Huaiyin Shuhuai Send Wang Zongcheng") Such a "reckless man" is neither an ordinary literati son who has a deep heart for the world, nor a sage and ancestor like Kong Qiu. Li Bai "mocked" the pedantic among the readers. Such a person will surely become the object of ridicule of the world. These people, even if they spend their entire lives reading Confucian works, are meaningless to the world.
In fact, Li Bai couldn't help but respect Confucius, emulated Confucius and actively used the world, and has always used Confucius's Confucianism as a yardstick to measure his virtue. He said: "White delusional people, can Aneng compare?" Hang the ridicule of "National Style" on the top, and the fear of "Zhou Yi" to follow the tiger. ("Shang'an Prefecture Li Changshi Book") hopes that his appearance will be consistent, and his words and deeds must conform to Confucian standards. Sometimes, he also regarded himself as a Confucian: "You must also take the black head from the Fang Bo, and the white head must be a Confucian student." ("Song of Sorrow") constantly reminds himself, admonishing himself to cherish the Chinese year, not to waste time and become a Confucian. Sometimes there is some self-defeating: "The gold is scattered and cannot be delivered, and the white head is the Confucian body is light" ("The Twelve Cold Nights of the Answering King"), "Confucianism is not as good as the ranger man, and the white head is restored to He Yi" ("Walking and Hunting"), thinking that this life is a "Confucian" abandoned by the times, despised by society, and persevered hard all his life, and the result is "He Yi", nothing has been accomplished. So single-minded, so inactive, will not be too wronged yourself. And doubt is only a temporary confusion, and after a short "rest", it is manifested in the determination of faith and perseverance.
If you remove the Confucian thinking component of Li Bai's body, Li Bai's temperament is more flowing and wild, no matter how immortal wind and Dao bones, the posthumous independence, the frank and true character is, no matter how light the prince, the proud and powerful, or the impersonal peerless feather guest, regardless of the world's real wandering immortals or hermits; Or a chivalrous man who comes and goes without a trace, this chivalrous is also very likely to be a murderous and unblinking, evil-stricken, and cursed grass curse, mountain king and the like.
It can be seen that it was Confucianism that armed Li Bai's soul, formed a lifelong outlook on life, guided his thoughts and deeds, and constituted the foundation of his humanistic spirit.
