고대 중국의 가족 서사와 변화된 감정의 구조 - 당송(唐宋) 애도 시문에 나타난 가족 애도 방식을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the family configuration and the structure of altered feeling in ancient China, analyzing the family mourning shown in Tang Song dynasty’s poetry and prose. It is not only an analysis on the mourning-related literature works, but also is a way for understanding the family configuration in ancient China. The writing method concerning Tang Song dynasty’s mourning works can be categorized into three phases. The first phase is the lack of emotion control, which means liberation from oppression of the past. Departing from the past customs, those works pursue free emotional expression on their family. The second phase is to show pity and lamentation feeling about the past things. The experiences shared with the deceased were presented in detail as essential part of the past. The third phase is the expression of habitual lethargy and frustration. Most of them regarded the passing-away of family members as severe crack in their daily life. Thus they did not try to overcome their sadness intentionally. This kind of research results concerning the mourning poetry and prose of the Tang Song Dynasty reflects the structure of altered feeling in ancient china. Accordingly, it gives a valuable chance to re-evaluate Tang Song Dynasty’s mourning works.
