Actually, it is the culture attitude of Mr. Li n, an assortment of both east and west cultures. The way that Mr. Lin process his culture choice and culture recombination is a modern way. Mr. Lin explored the culture resources of modernity from the origins of both east and west cultures and then modernized them.This essay will explore Mr. Lin's culture attitude from three levels and try to localize it in modern way.First, on the life level, Mr. Lin had a leisure culture attitude with perfect taste which advocated a poetic life of wisers. Wisers who hold enthusiasm to the world take the mediocre everyday life as a standard and on this basis seek the poetic living.
