| Research Abstract |
The literate has played an important role in the field of culture throughout centuries in China. Dr.Masaru Aoki has referred that the general type of the literate's life was established in Han, Wei and the Six dynasties, and that the taste of their life changed in the Song dynasty. It seems that the literate, one of the types of human being, has reached consummation in this age. However further study suggests us that there is an obvious change between Northern Song and Southern Song, even in the same Song dynasty.
Ci, deriving its origin from popular ballad in the Tang dynasty, not only matures as one of the literary style of elegant rhymes, but also becomes an important style of self-expression of the literate who are very proud of their taste. This complicated process of the rise of Ci must have something to do with the change of literate class who are the main poets of Ci.
Our project clarified the distinction of the literate in Northern Song through Su Shi, as well as the character and the Ci works of Jiang Kui who is one of the Ci poets in Southern Song. We conclude that Jiang Kui is a typical literate who has embodied the spirit of literate in very pure way, and that his works of Ci represent one of the most refined of its style. And both his way of life as the literate and his works are inseparably related as well.
"A Study of Jiang Baishi's Ci-lyrics" is the main result of this project. Incidentally we have settled the long-discussed problem on Shi and Ci from the point of human types of the literate and the officials, and have got new knowledge about the literate's life in Southern China after the fall of the Southern Song dynasty.
