Bai Juyi lived mainly in the middle of Tang Dynasty,in this period,classical tone of the traditional Confucianism,is not merely covered up by spiritual shade of Buddhism,and balanced by the romantic color of Taoism.From the great historical cultural environment,this paper has Mainly been adopted the internal verification approach which is "Bai juyi interpretated by himself ",in order to inspect Bai juyi's philosophy of existence for four levels,with complementary,we further studied his philosophy of existence compared with the intellectuals in his Times and Accepted by the intellectuals after his Times.The Chapter 1 of this paper is divided into two sections.Section 1 Perspectes through Bai Juyi's surname,name,the word,alias,we can see that Bai Juyi's surname,name,the word,alias, not only embodies a series of complex social and cultural relations and the social reality living environment,but also vividly embodies the individual whose survival state and psychological state,therefore,Bai juyi's philosophy of existence formed Cultural Psychology was initially emerged in front of us.Section 2 analizes the psychological processes of Bai Juyi's religious beliefs generally formed through the some psychological lack.Chapter 2 mainly discusses the thought origin and inside reasonable way of Bai Juyi's philosophy of existence.First of all,as "I am a Confucian"," Abiding by the Confucian and Zhougong",Bai Juyi passed imperial Examination three times in the decade.With a series of victories and three honor in succession,made Bai Juyi's summit in life experience.Therefore,the study of Bai Juyi's thought origin,from the relation between Bai Juyi and the imperial examination first,especially from Bai Juyi's poetic,prose and the fu's composition which correlated with imperial examinations as the starting point,it should be a very meaningful and valuable thing.Begin this logic starting point,we will see Bai Juyi's text resource of Confucianism mainly come from "Li ji","Zhou yi","Analects of Confucius","Mencius" and "the Book of Songs",etc.Certainly,while investigating Bai Juyi's Confucianism origin,the person living in concrete era,it is impossible for him to be free of his family and the tendency of his times,and must not ignore "his ancestor care about Confucianism earnestly" and the influence of ideological trend caused by the times.Meanwhile,through the investigation of Bai Juyi's poet of prose,we will see the subject that resources of Bai Juyi's Taoist thought mainly come from " Laozi" and " Zhuangzi",his Taoist life style and behavior receive distinguished and admirable influence of the Wei-Jin Dynasty's ideological trend mainly,but its Taoism faith should undoubtedly owe the credit to the era in vogue and the guidance of" week apt to join and contract "and his friends.In addition,as " studying the great multiplication of all the Buddha books and it's spirit ",Bai Juyi also "read all the famous tuber of thorough Buddha which passed ",so his text resources of Buddha and Zen are quite abundant too,he had read All of these like" linking and rubing "," stupefied gal "," alunite "," Saddharmapundarika Sutra ",etc.So,adding to the influence of the custom of era and friend of monk invariably,it brought up Bai juyi as" a monk at home " image in our heart.Chapter 3 is the study of Bai juyi's trace in his life mainly,from the three different aspects which including Confucianism,Daoism and Buddhism,we can analyze Bai Juyi's philosophy of existence which includes the shape of practice and external manifestation in society.As everyone knows,Tang XianZong who bent on making progress,it activated the honest intellectual's enthusiasm to participate in government affairs.Bai Juyi began his official career in such a special era justly.However,just as what he had wanted to" Help to build the foundation of peace", but the result was " the disgrace of dismissing at once".The demoting of Jiangzhou state in the tenth year of Yuanhe which let him recognize fully the dangerous and helpless in his official career,then his official's feeling is reduced greatly.The third year of Wenzong(829),Bai Juyi went to the East capital as an leisure official,at this moment,while he summarize his existence philosophy that yearned for "Zhongyin",Bai Juyi desalinized all the idea of his politic Confucianism to have.Bai Juyi exposed to Taoism and demonstrated enthusiasm of faith to it,for time,it began long ago.But his attitude toward Taoism,Bai Juyi wander between faith and suspicion from the beginning,but faced to the crisis of faith,he beyonded many channels.Finally, "it should be a poem monk in Bai Juyi's previous existence" and "make friends half among the monks",we can summarized 3 layers in Bai Juyi's realm of Buddhism faith which namely theory interest layer,utility practical layer and pious faith layer.But necessarily pointing out,these three aspect were often interweaved together,we can not separate them completely,because it was a three - one,one- three problem which unified in Bai Juyi' Buddhism faith.Chapter 4 analizes mainly the seven levels of Bai juyi's philosophy of existence,which is: "Middle man" and "Zhong yin","Feeling" for himself,from "Confucianist","Text-ru" to "Literati",among the relationship of "Can","When","Fame","Post" and "Fate",the inseparable relationship off"World","Super-world" and "Out-world","Homesickness" and "Yearning capital","Music can be ease "," Wine can be molded" and "Poems can be vented",through thinking of this seven level,we find that the foundation of Bai juyi's philosophy of existence which mode of thinking and behaviour patterns had been reflected complementary between Confucianism and Taoism fully,just from the Buddha and Zen,Buddhist beliefs,it is basically not the unique features of his philosophy of existence.However,it should be seen that as a "deeply influenced by Buddhism " man,it is not complete or can be said that it is very lacking,if studying Bai juyi's philosophy of existence separated from Buddhism and Zen.Chapter 5 focuses on a very prominent phenomenon which existed the history of literature in middle of the Tang,and that is,during this period the most important intellectuals,because of political,literary,personal friendship and other factors,are often said together to future generations,such as the "Han-Liu "," Yuan-Bai "," Liu-Liu"," Liu-Bai "," Han-Bai ",etc. They boarded the political arena in the same time at the end of Dezong Zhenyuan period,after Shunzong Yongzhen innovation and Xianzong Yuanhe Prosperity,it named together which marked Han Yu(768~824),Liu Zongyuan(773~819),Liu Yuxi(772~842),Bai Juyi (772~846),Yuan Zhen(779~831) to have a strong comparability.Through the horizontal comparison between them,no doubt,will be more conducive to further our understanding of Bai Juyi's philosophy of existence.Chapter 6 is the end of this paper,it focuses on Bai juyi's philosophy of existence which is posed by the relationship between him and Posterity,in other word,Bai juyi's philosophy of existence is how to impact Posterity.All of us know that,as a traditional personality type,the most profound of Bai juyi's philosophy of existence affected Posterity,it generally contains two aspects:First,his official way provide a magic weapon to be used as reference.Second,he created lots of excellent artistic works or aesthetic life for Posterity.Therefore,in the exposition of affecting by Bai Juyi's philosophy of existence,posterity will mainly from his aesthetic life as well as the official life,for a visit to the impact of specific targets,mainly on the Later Tang Dynasty poets and Early Song of poets who learned from Bai juyi,as well as the capacity of Su crowds.
