Relegation, as a common phenomenon in ancient times, not only had a certain impact on the official career of literati, but also profoundly affected their spiritual perception and creative style. Liu Zongyuan, as an outstanding writer in the Middle Tang Dynasty, lived in exile all his life, especially he was banished to Yongzhou, Liuzhou and other remote areas twice, which had a great and profound impact on his thought and literary creation. This paper investigates the change of Liu Zongyuan’s mentality during the period of relegation and the spiritual characteristics of this change in his literary works, and probes into how the relegation shaped the inner world and literary style of the literati.
