明代 『靑樓韻語』의 편찬 의의

Abstract

『Qinglouyunyu(青楼韵语)』 attracts attentions that it is the only collected writings of the courtesans(妓女) among the poetry anthologies of the past dynasties. And it is very unique in the point that it collected poems according to the passages of the Canon 『Piaojing(嫖經)』, not taking the form of general classification. However, the so called 『Piaojing(嫖經)』 mentioned in 『Qinglouyunyu(青楼韵语)』 is not present as of now. It is very difficulty to identify the substantial contents. For the present we can just figure out the contents of 『Piaojing(嫖經)』 through 『Qinglouyunyu(青楼韵语)』 and 「Fengyuemen(風月門」 in the daily encyclopaedias(日用類書) of Ming’ Dynasty. We hope the relationship between 「Fengyuemen(風月門」 and 『Piaojing(嫖經)』 could be investigated through further research. And we’ll study if we can explain the poems of 『Qinglouyunyu(青楼韵语)』 according to the passages of the Canon 『Piaojing(嫖經)』 also.
