Abstract

Chinese philosophy has its profound exploration of the understanding of life, and most of the literary works are presented with the life consciousness of the literati as their own feelings, among which the vigorous life consciousness in Li Bai’s poems in the Tang Dynasty is particularly prominent. Taking his Yongxia poems as an example, the life consciousness of being positive and high-spirited and free of merit runs throughout, but from the high-spirited and willful heroes of his youth to the frustration of middle-aged officialdom and then to the tossing and turning of his later years, these life experiences have brought great changes in Li Bai‘s thinking and creative style to the creation of Yongxia poems. Li Bai’s life consciousness and creative focus have gradually developed from focusing on individuals to more in-depth thinking in society, from expressing youthful and high-spirited ideals to showing more dual thinking of ideals and reality, showing the continuous enrichment of Li Bai‘s life consciousness. As an important type of Li Bai’s poems, Yongxia poetry shows the unique life consciousness of Li Bai and Confucianism and Taoism, which is of great value for the study of Li Baixia‘s personality and the formation of his romantic poetic style. At a time when utilitarian thought is prevalent, Li Bai’s chivalrous spirit and vigorous life consciousness also have important reference value for the growth of individual personality and the shaping of national spirit.
