白居易前期思想存在如下内在矛盾:儒家思想与佛道思想的矛盾,政治身份与文人身份的矛盾,世俗才子与士大夫身份的矛盾,白居易的儒家思想自身局限性。这些矛盾使他长期徘徊于“兼济和独善”、“仕与隐”之间,也即徘徊于“庙堂与江湖”之间。 There are inherent contradictions in Bai Juyi ’s early thought: the contradiction between Confucianism and Buddhism and Taoism, the contradiction between political identity and literati status, the contradiction between the secular genius and the identity of the literati, and the limitations of Bai Juyi’ s Confucianism. These contradictions made him wander for a long time in the midst of “harmony and independence” and “official and hidden”, that is, hovering between the “temple and rivers and lakes”.
