Abstract

Li Bai has left his glorious poems and essays for thousands of years. Exploring his poems and essays, we can find that the ideas embodied in his works are complex, among which the most important ones are Confucianism and Taoism. Li Bai’s life was a positive and enterprising life. Under the influence of Confucianism’s advocation to “serve the society”, he cherished the ambition of serving the country and pursued meritorious service, and this ambition never decreased a bit in his life. However, Li Bai’s life is also a life of failures and setbacks. The poet has been pursuing and failing all the time. It is known that his frustration and depression are deep and extensive, and the Taoist thought of pursuing individual freedom has just become a placebo for his frustration and depression, so that he can recover from repeated defeats and continue to move forward. Confucianism and Taoism, as soon as they entered the world and were born, interacted with Li Bai and jointly made Li Bai’s legend.
