문학을 통한 슬픈 공간의 창조 -李白의「秋浦歌」와 杜甫의「秋興」을 중심으로

Abstract

This study set out to analyze the spatial characteristics embodied in Song of Qiupu and Autumn Meditation and investigate how space, a background in a literary work, would be filled with what symbolic images and recreated as a unique place containing a poet's internal sadness. The research efforts led to the following conclusions:First, there was the structure of deung-go-im-su, which implies the symbolism of parting in literary works since Nine Changes by Song Yu during the Warring States Period. In those works, it was often used as spatial composition to express a sad feeling. Second, there was another structure that placed the basic spaces of mountain and water and then included natural features with the symbolism of sorrow. They placed the monkey's cry, and the sound of bird and hujia in the mountain and a boat, fish, and old man in the river to express a poet's sad feeling. Third, the poet used his own figure with grey hair and white natural features. Grey hair is accompanied with despair and sad sentiments towards death and offers an image equal to melancholy. White symbolizes innocence and purity and further autumn in the Five Elements. In literature, autumn often represents solitude. In those words, a sad image is conveyed through white in the white heron, monkey, cloud, and frost. Fourth, Du Fu often used the historical images and contrasting expressions of Giju and Jangan in his Autumn Meditation. Such historical images as Begjeseng and Gonmyongji displayed the poet's internal depression more prominently. Contrast between past and present, flamboyance and war, and center and margin in the two places expresses the poet's yearning and despair more clearly. Fifth, the poet often moves his eyes from the upper part of space to the lower part in order to describe his loss of hope and internal despair, thus showing his depressed and solitary sensibility.
