Historical Examination of Li Bai's Political Tragedy

Article Summary   by:TsingHua     Original Author: Journal of Hengyang Normal University
ª
 
Grant titles and relieve the world"was Li Bai's long-cherished wish which could never come into reality for the deficient of his political ability and quality in the objective situation of political darkness and rough official career in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It was not only a personal political tragedy of Li Bai,but also the reflection of the scholars' weakness in the political tragic lot of the flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai was the typical scholar of the classic intellectuals with fine qualities and bad habits. He exposed his natural weakness of the poet and was unable to find a foothold when he set foot in the cruel and the strange official carrer. But when he deverted himself from political struggle into his beloved poetry,the poet's patriotic feeling, his good character, his urrestrained expression, his natural gift and his subjective spirits naturally came out as waters into the sea,and as the milt oar out of the volcano. His poems ranked as poetic masterpieces through the ages. Li Bai couldn't become Fan Li or Zhang Liang in political circles in the flourishing age of the the Tang Dynasty,but a Mount Taishan and Big Dipper in the history of poetry. The price of Li Bai was unexpectedly incarnated to the greatest extent at last.
