The Psychological Exploration Of Yu Xin

Yu Xin was a great literature scholar in the South and North Dynasties. He was born in a great age that regime changed frequently. He waywardly spent the first half of his life in Liang dynasty which was peaceful in fifty years and the sad second half in the Northern Dynasties. Under this specifically historic environment, Yu Xin involuntarily became a emissary of the South and North cultural blending.Yu Xin's life could be divided into two periods by the year 554 in which he moves to the North. During his later life, his feeling, thinking and behavior is full of contradictions. As a nostalgic man, on one hand, he feels regretful for his wronged service in Wei and Zhou dynasties. On the other hand, he does not refuse the benefits supplied by the royal court; on the other hand, he even flatters them deliberately to show his gratitude. The conflict between his moral worship and his manners in his later life embodies his split personality. Not only the conflict between ideal personality and external personality exists in Yu Xin's mind, but also the conflict of his attitude toward ideal personality and external personality exists.Among all of them, the conflict between his attitude towards life and his value leads to his latter's life's betrayal to his moral courage as well as his service to the adversary. However, the formation of each ideology, values and behavior patterns has its own specific historical and cultural backgrounds and its own objective foundation in which it can form and develop.Many of Yu Xin's t work reflect his inferior mentality. He from the south to the north writes the words after hometown, and subjugation, their emotions, and life of cataclysmic upheaval, which is inferior mentality fully reflected. YuXin's in life met with strong breakthrough, realized on history, on reflection of social life, and gave high praise, a spiritual poverty and lack of unique character and think, is generally not have such a spirit of the crisis, and no experience in the breakthrough with pain, with reason to reflect on life.
