觀念的流動 -朝鮮宗唐詩風興起與明人復古思潮之關聯-

Abstract

There are several similarities between the rise of Chosŏn Tang-style poetry and the Ming Archaist movement in the early and mid-16th century that have been neglected by early scholarship. The Chosŏn literati who launched Tang-style poetry advocated the poetry of the High Tang and the prose of the Western Han as literary models (詩尚盛唐，文尚西京), which is similar to the literary slogan of the Ming Archaist movement. The Samdang Poets (三唐詩人) of Chosŏn composed Tang-style poems in quatrains under Yuefu (樂府) titles, which had rarely appeared in Koryŏ, early Chosŏn, or Song and Yuan China, but became popular with the Archaist movement. Around the same time, a poetry identification game popular among the literati of the Archaist movement spread to Chosŏn and gained popularity in the social circles of the Samdang Poets. These multiple similarities, from the dissemination of the Archaist slogan to the substantial content and peripheral cultural phenomena, suggest relations between the rise of Tang-style poetry in Chosŏn and the Ming Archaist movement, reflecting a process of “the flow of ideas.” The similarities had already formed before the earliest extant recorded date of the spread of collections of the archaists’ works to Chosŏn, indicating that a comprehensive understanding of “the flow of ideas” between Chosŏn and Ming in the 16th century cannot be based entirely on the extant records of the exchange of books. The channels and time lag of literary exchange are therefore worth reassessing.
