寒山詩의 儒·道家적 양상 고찰

Abstract

This study is considerations of the Confucianist and Taoist aspects in the poetry written by Hanshan from the Chinese Tang Dynasty. To inquire into the quintessence of the poetry of Hanshan, it is reckoned that we must go through the process of reviewing the influences of Confucianism and Taoism on his poetry other than the Buddhist inclinations. For the purpose of this, the Part II of this study intends to inquire about the Confucian aspects of the poetry of Hanshan. In the first place, the first chapter plans to carry out studies oriented to the poetry with positive propensities of Confucianism. In the second chapter, the poetry of Hanshan with critical dispositions of Confucianism will be studied. The Part III intends to look into the Taoist facets of the poetry of Hanshan. The first chapter will carry out studies oriented to the poetry with positive inclinations of Taoism. The second chapter will focus on the poetry with critical properties of Taoism. The results of this study show that Hanshan, through his collection of poems, encourages his readers to discipline them with Buddhist Dharma and remove suffering (Dukkha) to move forward the path to true Buddhists. Nevertheless, on the other side of this, we come to understand that the dispositions of Confucianism and Taoism coexist in Hanshan. This manifests that his works are influenced both from the Confucian traditional education offered to Hanshan in his youth and the Taoist atmosphere brought from the surrounding environment of the forest where he lived in retirement.
