Liu Zongyuan is a writer who led a new literary movement in the middle Tang Dynasty. The outcome of the literary movement leading to the Song Dynasty has led Liu Zongyuan to be called the eight great Tang and Song Dynasty prose writers’. His writings, which are prized by posterity, were written after being relegated to the provinces of Yongzhou. He dissolved his anger and pain in the natural surroundings of his lord. His attitude toward this life was notable and highly respected by scholars. The scientist also noticed this point. So far, research on Liu Zongyuan especially, that on his prose writings, has been studied focusing on the characteristics of content and expression through stylistic classification. However, we can say that it is difficult to observe the background of literary proses across the Yongzhou era with an approach of concentrating on the individual style of writing. Thus, this article refers to the literary aesthetic achievement of individual proses discussed in the research of traditional style of writing, and seeks to observe the Youngzhou experiences and consciousness of Liu Zongyuan in the framework of the prose creation in Yongzhou. This writing investigates the aspect of consciousness of Liu Zongyuan in proses of his Yongzhou period. Therefore, the main points of this analysis is his perception of Yongzhou and Changan and the changes formed by his personalizing and assimilating Yongzhou area. Also, by pursuing the characteristics and changes of Liu Zongyuan's consciousness during Yongzhou period, we endeavored to grasp how his proses' features of this period are arranged. The primarily considered outputs are as follows. Firstly, we identified that Liu Zongyuan during Yongzhou period seemed to consider Yongzhou and Changan as the place whrere he can isolate himself and his soul. Secondly, it is notified that he can experience various emotional changes through the process of making diverse places in Yongzhou his own place during his stay in this area. Thirdly, we analyzed that by means of experiencing his assimilation with Yongzhou's nature during this Yongzhou period, he can relieve himself of disparaging pain. We assume that although Liu Zongyuan's belittling agony in Yongzhou is not completely relieved, his attitude toward life as a nobleman and various awareness formed in this place are thought to be projected onto his creation of proses and thus making the originality, literary nature, and artistic value established in them during this period.
