陶淵明의 道德 喪失의 時代 認識과 直面 — 彭澤令의 辭職 問題를 兼論하여 —

Abstract

Tao Yuanming is a poet who was influenced by the trend of Xuanxue(玄學) in the era of Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming fused the issue of ‘morality’ discussed in Xuanxue(玄學) of Jin Dynasty into literature, and he made the moral life and moral character as core themes that penetrated his life and literature. The emotions Tao Yuanming experienced while surviving as a bureaucrat from the age of 29 to 41 are feelings of isolation and resentment in human relationships. Tao Yuanming interprets the cause of the negative emotions he experienced as a social person and the inevitable cause of his political resignation as a loss of morality and moral insensitivity at the end of east Jin Dynasty. One of the two reasons that Tao Yuanming defines the end of east Jin Dynasty as an era of moral loss is that he diagnosed that the morality of the Confucian family was out of action and that a ‘great lie’ engulfed the era. The other is that as human nature is divided into beauty and evil, the incarnation of immortality and evil changes shape and appears as a gentleman of hypocrisy, This is because he diagnosed that the evil person who did evil had eroded the era of the end of east Jin Dynasty.
