Chang-An and Lou-Yang were two important dwelling places of Bai JuYi. But he showed totally different attitudes and affections towards these two cities. From the perspective of urban practice, he "overlooked" Chang-An and took it as a space of strangeness. However, he "walked through" in Lou-Yang, taking it a paradise for permanent dwelling place. He wrote Chang-An in a tone of alienation rarely involved in the scene, as an onlooker of Chang-An. On the contrary, he repetitively claimed his wild entertainment as an addicted player in Lou-Yang. This paper is based on the basis of urban practice, discussing the alienation in poems of Chang-An and the addiction of poems in Lou-Yang. Then, with the defense mechanism and composition in psychology, I analyze the anxiety and self-defense of Bai JuYi’s poems of two cities, and in the end, the final curing. When the priority of life value was altered, the relationship between the poet and the quality of environment was undergoing a changing process.
