Why are most of China's ancient writers and great talents frustrated in officialdom?

As we all know, in ancient times, those intellectuals were not successful in officialdom, which was caused by many factors. For example, Qu Yuan is unwilling to go along with others and be excluded by others. Jia Yi was jealous of his success as a teenager, but Sima Xiangru was not taken seriously because of his stuttering and poor health. However, the main reason why these people are frustrated in officialdom is their personality defects. We all know that there are many things that affect a person's personality, so ancient people are frustrated in officialdom.

Let's talk about Li Bai again. Li Bai was recommended to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was conferred the title of Hanlin. This was originally an opportunity for Li Bai to make great achievements, but what Li Bai didn't expect was that Tang Xuanzong only regarded Li Bai as a writer and didn't intend to reuse Li Bai. In addition, Li Bai's personality is not the same as that of those powerful people, and he was soon framed by others. At that time, Li Bai had to leave the capital, and since then he has stopped being an official and devoted himself to literary work.

It can be seen that a person's personality determines whether he can stay in officialdom. Just like Li Bai, he is not suitable for being an official at all, and he can only concentrate on learning literature in the end. It's not that Li Bai can't be an official, but it's really a pity that Li Bai is an official. Therefore, it may be god's arrangement to deliberately prevent Li Bai's literature from being buried in useless officialdom, which is why people like Li Bai are frustrated in officialdom and will not let them become officials.

So this is caused by bad luck and their own personality, which leads many of them to be frustrated in officialdom, so after being frustrated in officialdom, they have no intention to be an official and can only concentrate on literature.
