唐代关中士人普遍具有的内直外方的性格特征，不仅是唐代关中士人的处世方式和人生态度，而且与忠奉社稷的爱国情怀密不可分；关中士人在时局险恶、仕途蹭蹬的际遇下，则移情临泉山野，隐匿寺观庭院，在归隐之中彰显生命的个性，张扬生命的旷达，以曲折的方式显现了唐代关中士人的内直外方的精神风貌。“,”The Tang Dynasty scholars in the central Shaanxi plain were characterized by being straightfor?ward inside and self-disciplined outside,which is not only their way of conducting themselves in the society and attitude towards life,but their patriotic sentiment of being loyal to the nation.
