杜甫七言律诗中虚词运用研究

초록

This thesis aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the various ways Du Fu, revered as the “Poet-Sage” in the history of Chinese poetry, utilized function words in his seven-character poems and the aesthetic achievements thereof. Whereas previous research has largely been limited to exploring macro-level characteristics of Du Fu's poetry, such as its “deep, vigorous, and ever-shifting” style , this paper focuses on the micro-level linguistic element of function words, investigating how they operate as a concrete mechanism to shape Du Fu's unique poetic style. This paper clarifies that function words not only play the role of the “poetic eye” that captures the spirit of the poetry, but are also a core element in forming his poetry's characteristic modulated cadence and in creating a profound artistic mood through the “fusion of the abstract and the concrete”. Furthermore, by analyzing his linguistic experiments—such as the flexible use of word classes that breaks the boundary between content words and function words, the introduction of prose logic known as “writing poetry as prose”, and the bold adoption of contemporary colloquialisms —this paper elucidates how Du Fu pushed the expressive possibilities of seven-character regulated verse to their absolute limit.In conclusion, this thesis reveals that the greatness of Du Fu lies not only in his grand thematic consciousness but also in his perfect mastery over the subtle linguistic element of function words, through which he freely shaped the structure, emotion, and rhythm of his poetry. Future studies are encouraged to further synthesize humanistic appreciation and linguistic inquiry to reveal fresh layers of meaning in classical literature. This approach ensures that Du Fu’s poetic legacy remains vibrant and relevant, flourishing through its continuous engagement with the readers of today.
