Why are most famous writers in history officials? How to eliminate the influence of politics on literature?

Excellent study leads to being an official, and being an official leads to learning. This is the Ming rule of that era!

However, there is also an old saying that "poverty makes a poet". Some famous poets and writers are neither officials nor real officials. All kinds of torture and human feelings in poverty will also stimulate the creation of literati.

For example, the poet Li Bai has never been an official (or he doesn't want to be an official).

Du Fu, a poet and sage, has never been an official. He wasted ten years in Chang 'an, was down and out in the war, and was down and out in Shu, which became the theme of the poet's creation and made him a famous poet.

It is said that Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, was extremely down and out before his death.

But in a word, the deep-rooted influence of politics on literature cannot be completely eliminated. Because, a person's works can't be separated from the era in which he lives, and the most profound and significant events that affect each era are closely related to the politics of the era.
