Abstract
Abstract:Ouyang xiu’s works displayed a kind of strong tragic consciousness, which can be found from his prefaces, epitaphs and memorial poems. The orphanhood in his early life, the work at his mid-life, and the passing away of his friends at his late ages all made his life consciousness heavy. Non-Buddhist and Non-Taoist as he was, sensuous pleasure became his way of relieving anxiety, which explains the motive of his writing plenty of amorous ci poems.
