Abstract
Liu Zongyuan’s landscape literature won high praise from the Sung to the Ching Dynasty. Most studies of Liu Zongyuan’s literature concentrate on his landscape prose. By comparison, his landscape poetry has long been left in disregard. For this reason, this thesis focuses specifically on Liu Zongyuan’s landscape poetry, and investigates the interrelation between the poet and the landscape in the poetry, its rhetoric, and the formation of Liu’s style. I hope this study would reveal the peculiarities and accomplishment of Liu Zongyuan’s poetry.
This thesis adopts a variety of method from different disciplines. The spatial experience in Liu’s landscape poetry is analyzed by recent studies on atmosphere and object-chanting poetry on the one hand, and cognitive linguistics’ redefinition of metaphor on the other. The expression and formation of style is expounded through study in rhetoric and other related theories of psychology and aesthetics. Besides, in order to define the characteristics of Liu Zongyuan’s work, I also compare Liu Zongyuan’s landscape poetry with that of other poets, such as Wang Wei、Meng Hao-ran and Wei Ying-wu.
This thesis consists of five chapters and a conclusion. Chapter 1, the preface, explains the motive, range and methodology of this thesis. It also clarifies the relevance of this thesis with other studies of Liu’s literature, and introduces the creative background of Liu Zong-yan’s literature. Chapter 2 and 3 studies respectively the formation and the transformation of atmosphere, and the genesis and the projection of perception. In Chapter 4, I investigate how Liu Zongyuan conveys his personal experience into poetry. Chapter 5 studies the style of his poetry and its formation. In the Conclusion, I summarize my discoveries in preceding chapters, and raise certain related questions which require further investigation.
