南宋 宮女詞 初探

Abstract

『QuanSongCi』included sixteen palace people’ Ci poems in the Southern Song Dynasty. Two of them are concubines and the remaining fourteen court ladies who were caught by Mongolian Army and were taken as prisoners to the north during the Southern Song Dynasty. Their works can be divided into five categories; first, the three Ci of imperial concubine Zhang Shu-fang; second,「Wangjianghong」Ci of Gong di(恭帝) 's court lady Wang Qing-hui and Zhang Qiong-ying; third,「changxiangsi」 Ci of Zhang Li-zhen and Yuan Zheng-zhen; fourth, ten「Wangjiangnan」ci known to have been written by Jin De-shu and other nine ladies to commemorate Wang Yuan-liang’s returning to the south; the fifth,「shuangtianxiaojiao」Ci of Wu Shu-zhen. Away from the poem writing tendency of female writers in the Song Dynasty with graceful style of women’ feelings as a main theme, their works became rich in the contents by dealing with Northern landscape and depression of national Subjugation and reflecting the tragic fate of the captivity of North palace and a feeling of homesickness, so it itself became as a record of women's history. Their Ci regarded as ‘contrast’ and ‘feeling and setting happily blended’ which express their feelings openly and vividly. Especially their Ci have ‘Generous and tight tone’, ‘Grief and indignation words’, ‘simple and straight express’, which are rare in the Song Dynasty women Ci and only expressed in the Southern Song Dynasty palace people’ Ci. This is of significance in terms of presenting the possibility that female writers are also able to write bold style Ci. In addition, initiative and truth shown in their Ci can be said to have made meaningful progress in the history of women's literature.
