唐朝时期，社会上出现了一些不良风气，例如一些人沉迷于享乐，不顾社会责任，甚至做出一些有伤风化的事情。韩愈看到这种现象后，忧心忡忡，上书皇帝，指出这些行为有伤风败俗，会败坏社会风气，建议皇帝采取措施整顿社会风气，弘扬正能量。他认为，只有这样才能维护社会稳定和国家的长治久安。韩愈的谏言得到皇帝的重视，随后皇帝颁布了一系列政策，加强社会管理，打击各种不良风气，使社会风气逐渐好转。
During the Tang Dynasty, some bad social trends emerged, such as some people indulging in pleasure, ignoring social responsibilities, and even doing some things that hurt social customs. After seeing this phenomenon, Han Yu felt worried and wrote to the emperor, pointing out that these behaviors were immoral and would corrupt social customs. He suggested that the emperor take measures to rectify social customs and promote positive energy. He believed that only in this way could social stability and the long-term peace of the country be maintained. Han Yu's advice was taken seriously by the emperor, and then the emperor issued a series of policies to strengthen social management, combat various bad social trends, and improve social customs gradually.
