| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines how ancient Chinese people perceived the sites,
implements, and actions associated with wells, and how authors reflected the symbolic character of those things in poetry, from a folklorist perspective. To this end, its chief objects of consideration will be depictions of wells in Chinese classical literature, their related implements, and the act of“circling” around wells. Yet, as the present study is thought to have made clear, in poetry at least,up to the Tang Dynasty, there existed shared concepts regarding tools, places, and rituals, including wells, buckets, winches, the practice of circumambulating, etc.
