The Remonstrating Minister Consciousness and Literary Practice of"Yuan-Bai"
The system of remonstrance reached maturity in the Tang Dynasty,with a strict and clear division in the remonstrance court and officials,which provided a relaxed environment and great power to launch the remonstrance activities.However,the emperors'fatuity and social turmoil in the middle and late period of Tang Dynasty greatly hindered the implementation of the remonstrance system.As remonstrating ministers in the middle Tang Dynasty,both Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi had a strong sense of remonstrance,which was reflected in their remonstrating activities and literary works.The remonstrating activities of"Yuan-Bai"left behind a large number of highly distinctive literary works,which can be divided into three stages.Stage one,before the inauguration,the literary works of"Yuan-Bai"have strong remonstrating minister consciousness;Stage two,during the tenure,the literary works of"Yuan-Bai"have the linguistic art of remonstrance;Stage three,after the dismissal,"Yuan-Bai"carried out literary creation with a mentality of"remonstrating with poetry".
