A Study On The Image Of "You Ren" And The Mentality Of Literati In Northern Song Dynasty Poetry

This paper takes the image of "You Ren" in the poetry of the Northern Song Dynasty as the research object,and investigates the mental process of the literati creating the image text of "You Ren".The full text is divided into four parts,the main content is as follows:the first chapter Outlines the Han to the Tang " You Ren " imagery and literati mentality.Firstly,the meaning and classification of " You Ren " are traced back to the source.Secondly,the image data of " You Ren " from the six dynasties to the Tang Dynasty are sorted out,classified and analyzed.It is concluded that the number of "You Ren " has surged in the Tang Dynasty,and its connotation has changed from specific to general.Then,this paper probes into the changes of literati mentality in different stages of Tang Dynasty,and points out that this trend is caused by the changes of the current situation and the experience of official career.The second chapter is a case study,which mainly discusses the creation of " You Ren " image and the change of literati mentality under the influence of the party rivalry in the Northern Song Dynasty.Firstly,this paper divides Su Shi’s official career into four stages,and sums up his attitude from the characteristic of "scolding" in his poems after he became an official,which also lays the foundation for the "Wutai poetry case".He pointed out that the decline of Huangzhou was the turning point of his life and mentality.However,Su Shi’s old habit of not forgetting to "talk about current affairs" caused his contradictory mentality,which was eased and balanced after learning Buddhism and Taoism.Secondly,based on the relegation of Su Zhe in his official career,the author explores the evolution of his mentality with the clues of the party struggle.This paper divides Su Zhe’s official career into three stages,analyzes his state of mind through the investigation of poetry creation and intercourse in each stage,and points out that Su Zhe dealt with the party’s disaster with the attitude of "deep silence" and "sitting quietly behind closed doors" after learning Taoism,so as to ease the official’s feelings.The third chapter is still a case study,exploring the change of mentality of the official and reclusive literati groups,taking Wang Anshi,Lin Bu and Wei Ye as examples.Firstly,the author combs Wang Anshi’s life experience,which can be divided into three stages.From the early years of "striving for success" to the implementation of the new law in the Xining period,Wang Anshi was in a state of "vigorous".It is also pointed out that the failure of the new law became the turning point of his mentality,and the investigation of Wang Anshi’s social situation and literary creation shows that his mentality changed from "difficult to be in love" to "self-adapting" after worshiping the Buddha.The next was Lin Bu,a reclusive scholar,and Wei Ye,who proved his reclusive attitude of indifference to fame and wealth by making friends with nobles and nobles rather than seeking an official position and refusing to be recruited by the court.Later,he pointed out that Lin Bu Bu did not make poetry,did not set foot in a city,and his unique way of seclusion was also a reflection of his elegant and reclusive attitude.The chapter four analyzes the literary ecological factors of literati mentality based on the image data of "You Ren" in the Northern Song Dynasty.First of all,it is revealed that the characteristic of "discussing current affairs" of the Song Dynasty literati is caused by the policy of "eliminating Wu and improving literature" of the Song Dynasty rulers,and points out that the party rivalry is the main reason for the relegation of literati and scholastic officials.Secondly,it summarizes that the literati and scholastic officials approach the Taoist thoughts in order to relieve the ambivalence brought by the party struggle in order to achieve spiritual liberation,and also to further promote seclusion to ease the affection of the official.
