On Li Ling's Millitary Tragedy

Under the background of the Chinese nation’s fusion and development in the Han Dynasty, the millitary event that Li Ling,leading his 5,000 privates, fought bravely in the remotest area and were entirely wiped out, has deep social and historical meaning and aesthetic value. The roots of his millitary tragedy lie in the conflicts between his ideal, pursuit and millitary ideas and the temporal emperor’s totalitarian will and millitary line. The tragedy not only has deeply influenced the temporal related events and figures, but also will influence the later generations’ literary creation and people’s aesthetic ideas and ethical concepts.
