方回의 「和陶詩」 小考

Abstract

Tao Yuanming, as a great poet from the Eastern Jin dynasty(東晉) to the Liu Song dynasty(劉宋), has played an important role in the history of Chinese poetry and culture. He wrote a set of ‘twenty drinking poems(飮酒詩20首)’ Cherishing his personality and poems, a lot of people such as the relegated, bureaucrats in high position, hermits, adherents of a former dynasty and monks wrote poems in response to his ‘twenty drinking poems’ through the ages and dynasties. This poetic response became a cultural phenomenon, and this phenomenon not only has proved that Tao Yuanming has an enormous influence on the later writers, but also has led them to chase him with a strong feeling of identity and worshipping. After Song dynasty’s destruction Fang Hui, who once was an official of Song dynasty, served Yuan dynasty of different race for a certain period. Retiring from official position, on one hand he felt a very tranquil life, but on the other hand he regretted the fact that he bended a moral integrity during that period. Like the former poets he expressed this kind of feeling responding to Tao Yuanming’s ‘twenty drinking poems(飮酒詩20首)’ This paper tries to analyse Fang Hui’s thematic consciousness expressed in his ‘Poems in Response to Tao Yuanming’s twenty drinking poems(「和陶淵明飮酒二十首」)’ systematically, dividing them into four categories as ‘Yuanming Admiration(淵明追慕)’, ‘Rural Tranquility(田園閑寂)’, ‘Past Regret(往事後悔)’, ‘Life Impermanence(人生無常)’
