Abstract

Modern technological development has brought about severe natural environmental problems, and the resulting train of global events such as the ecological crisis, nihilism, population problems and the nuclear threat has caused indelible damage to people in modern society. Traditional moral values have been subverted, a wave of capitalism has swept the world, and enlightenment has become a myth to paralyze modern man. Modern art and postmodern thought have failed to save people from sinking under nihilism. Nihilism has re-emerged in the 21st century as the most serious ideological dilemma of the post-modern era, disintegrating people's beliefs like a chronic disease, giving rise to ideas such as money worship and hedonism, causing human beings to hurt and isolate each other, eroding human civilisation and values, and generating anxiety and depression in society. The postmodern, as a splinter of modernity, is unable to face up to the weaknesses of modernity, and the spiritual dilemma of the postmodern seriously haunts everyone. By reviewing the poetry and thought of the Lake Poets during the first industrial revolution, the study unearths their life attitudes in the face of the dual impact of nature and spirituality and explores the solutions to the crisis of postmodern nihilism faced by people in the present society: use contemporary to avoid postmodern.
