What did Bai Juyi hate the most in his life?
Bai Juyi hated his family the most in his life. He was born into a bureaucrat family, but his father and brother died one after another, making him lose his support and protection. During the Tang Dynasty, the families of bureaucrats often had family power and corruption, which made Bai Juyi deeply dissatisfied and indignant. He once wrote in "Farewell to the Ancient Grass" that "the grass on the plains withered and flourished every year. The wildfire never ends, and the spring breeze blows, it grows again. The far-off fragrance encroaches on the ancient road, the clear green connecting the deserted city. And send the prince to the lush garden to bid farewell." This poem expressed his dissatisfaction and indignation towards his family's power and corruption, as well as his reverence and cherish for nature and life.
