Abstract
Chivalry and its social and cultural behaviors in the society of the Tang Dynasty have stage characteristics, which was positive in the early and prosperous Tang Dynasty but gradually deteriorated since the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Faced with this situation, the literati in the middle and late Tang Dynasty began to explore the noumenon attribute of chivalry and started a discussion about chivalry, among which Chivalry Theory written by Li Deyu has the most typically theoretical significance. This ideological movement about chivalry also affected the overall image creation of chivalrous servants in Tang legends. Authors combined servants with chivalrous men based on their realistic connections, which made the image of chivalrous servants in Tang legends have both the loyalty of servants and the freedom of chivalrous men, responding to the chivalrous view in the middle and late Tang Dynasty in the form of literary works. This kind of chivalrous spirit contained in the “chivalrous servants” in Tang legends also provides a broad vision for shaping the characters of chivalrous novels in later generations.
