姜夔, 『白石道人詩說』의 3단계 作詩論과 ‘四高妙說’

Abstract

Jiangkui, a poet of the NanSong dynasty, wrote The Poetry Theory of Baishi Daoren to inherit and overcome the poetics of the school of Jiangxi Poetry. The Poetry Theory of Baishi Daoren contained a unique and systematic three-stage poem writing theory. Jiangkui said that in order to write a poem, a poet must first cultivate knowledge and morality and use it as a source of poetic material. Next, he said that the work should be conceived through deep thought and spontaneous enlightenment. And the last is the stage of language expression, and various creative methods according to the length and structure of the text and the object of expression were presented. Furthermore, Jiangkui divided the ideal state of poetry pursued by this poem writing theory into four subtleties. The concepts of "subtle" and "realization" of these four subtleties, which informed the influence of Zen Buddhism, later contributed greatly to the development of Song Dynasty by influencing Yanyu's Notes On Poets and Poetry.
