시연(詩宴)의 장(場)으로써의 신천원(神泉苑) -『능운집(凌雲集)』을 중심으로-

Abstract

The dominant view of poetry circles during Eras of the Konin’s reign was that literatures wereimportant for running a country. Emperor Saga held such a view that literary works should be takenas a basis for running the country, and his literary perspective was well attested in the classical Chinesepoetry works that he made published. Emperor Saga was an expert in poetry works enough to tutor hissons, the princes, himself. He also gave many royal banquets for poetry recitation. In the third collectionof the classical Chinese poetry works that Emperor Saga directed, it is stated that Emperor Saga hostedmany banquets for his nobles, mostly at Sinchonwon 'The Sacred Garden'. This study examined theforms and characteristic features of the poetry works produced at Sinchonwon 'The Sacred Garden',which was Emperor Saga’s favorite spot for meeting his subjects, and it discussed what Sinchonwonmeant to be as a place for literary works.
