The late Ming artist and poet Xu Wei (1521-1593) is most well known for his self-representation as a cultured "mountain hermit" and "eccentric", pursuing the literary ideals of originality, simple language and direct emotional expression. His wild ink-brush paintings, mental instability, numerous suicide attempts and the murder of his third wife all helped to consolidate Xu's image as China's Van Gogh. However, later hagiographies of Xu as the "patron saint of eccentrics" have led to a one dimensional view of Xu. This thesis presents Xu as someone who explored and wrestled with different and sometimes contradictory self-representations against a thorny political and social backdrop. It moves away from Xu's "eccentric" persona, instead examining his writings within the political context of the 16th century. Against the backdrop of Mongol and pirate invasions, Xu's close friend Shen Lian was executed by the Chief Grand Secretary Yan Song and his clique. Yet only a month after his friend's execution, Xu switched sides and worked as a ghost-writer for Hu Zongxian, a protégé of Yan Song. Yet with the fall of Yan Song in 1562 and the arrest of Hu Zongxian, this became an embarrassment for Xu. Fearing that he would be implicated with the Yan Song clique, Xu distanced himself from his flattering ghost-written poems. Overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, he explored the complexities of loyalty and identity in his poetry. Xu's career is representative of many Ming scholars who were frustrated by examination failure and the inability to find an official post. His literary ideals contradicted with lived reality. Xu is unique among Ming literati in voicing these contradictions.

杜甫詩是中國古典文學的經典，其經典地位奠定於有宋一代。本文以宋代詩話為考察對象，分析文學批評和杜詩經典化的關係，主要內容如下： / 首先，本文將討論文壇領袖對杜詩的讚賞，如何演化為整個文壇的普遍觀念。文中指出蘇軾和黃庭堅是杜詩的發明者，二人對杜詩的評價，得到宋詩話的熱烈回應，意義不斷得到擴展和深化，由個人詮釋演化為宋人的集體認知，從而確立了杜詩的典範性。蘇軾「一飯未嘗忘君」的評語，經由詩話的討論和闡釋，最終令杜詩得「詩中六經」的評價。黃庭堅「無一字無來處」的評語，也促使詩話研究杜詩出處和用事手法蔚為風氣，不僅確立了杜甫好用事的特徵，也使杜詩成為宋詩風格的模範。 / 其次，本文探討宋代政治和文化背景對宋人接受杜甫的影響。在「李杜優劣」此一議題上，杜詩得到凌駕李白的地位，批評家看重詩歌內容的社會意義多於藝術性，反映唐宋人期待視野的轉移。宋人對杜甫「詩史」的讚譽，也與宋型文化和南宋戰禍連年有密切關係。宋詩話特別重視杜甫和安史之亂有關的詩作，因為安史之亂與宋代歷史背景有不少相似之處，宋人藉著詮釋杜詩的義理，投射了對胡人的痛恨、戰亂中的自傷之情和淑世理想。宋人憑藉認同杜甫，達至自我認同；通過詮釋杜詩，而完成自我呈現。杜甫在安史之亂中的遭遇，使他成了盛唐詩人中最能引發宋人共鳴者，也為宋人的詮釋提供了前提。宋詩話慣以比興和用事手法解釋杜詩，也使杜詩的詮釋空間擴大，更能貼合宋人的情感寄託。 / 此外，本文就宋詩話的本質和批評形式，如何在一定程度上掌握文學經典化的權力進行探討。詩話是新興於宋的詩歌批評形式，「摘句批評」和「論詩辨體」是其慣用的表達方式。在詩話的批評形式下，宋詩話出現了以杜詩為中心的價值取向：評估杜詩的價值，展示杜詩的多元性，樹立杜詩的正統意義，確立杜詩較他人優勝的觀念，凸顯學杜之必要。詩話的批評形式確立了杜詩經典化的重要價值，又憑藉詩話的詩法指導功能，規範了時人的價值判斷和創作。 / 最後，本文考察杜甫在宋代唐宋詩之爭的詩統建構中所處的位置。「宋詩」詩統藉著「一祖三宗」的論述，加強和杜甫的連繫，鞏固自身的正統地位。「唐詩」詩統同樣以杜甫為正統，其論述反而著重否定「宋詩」和杜甫的關係。唐、宋詩同樣以杜甫為正統，使杜詩超然於後世受唐宋詩之爭，對杜詩經典價值的延續有深刻意義。 / Since its inception in the Song Dynasty, Du Fu 杜甫 ’s poetry has been firmly regarded as a canon in the field of classical Chinese Literature. The process of which, however, has not been clearly examined. Based on Song Dynasty’s Remarks on Poetry 詩話, this thesis is devoted to analyzing the relationship between literary criticism and canonization of Du’s poems. / First, this thesis discusses how literary leaders’ commendation on Du’s poetry has become the general view of the Song literati. It particularly highlighted the evaluations of Du’s poems from Su Shi 蘇軾 and Huang Ting-jian 黃庭堅. Their comments were widely quoted and re-interpreted by subsequent authors of Remarks on Poetry, which confirmed and reinforced the importance of Su and Huan’s thoughts. The transition from Su and Huang’s personal interpretation to becoming a widely-held view amongst the literati, affirmed the canonical status of Du’s poetry. Through discussion and interpretation by Remarks on Poetry, Su’s comments on Du Fu as “a ever-loyal official 一飯未嘗忘君 contributed to the commendation on the Du’s poems as “Six works of the Confucian Canon in poetry 詩中六經. Huang commented Du’s poetry as “not a single word [in them] does not have its sources 無一字無來處. This promoted a more in-depth study into the origins of Du’s habitual use of allusions. This not only reaffirmed the intense use of allusions as one of the characteristics of Du’s works but also as the model of Song-styled poetry. / Second, this thesis investigates the impact of Song politics and cultures on the Song people’s reception of Du’s poetry. When comparing Li Bai to Du Fu, Du’s works were have consistently received a higher ranking as commentators often value social meanings more than artistic value. This demonstrates a shift in value system from Tang to that of Song dynasty. The Song people’s acclamation of Du as Shishi 詩史 was related to Song culture and the prolonged war in the Southern Song. Remarks on Poetry paid special attention to Du’s works related to An Lu-shan rebellion as this rebellion shared similarities with Song history. In Remarks on Poetry’s interpretation of Du’s poems, it reflected the Song people’s grievance towards foreign tribes and warfare. By agreeing with Du Fu, the Song people can develop its self-identity; through interpreting Du’s poetry, they can self-actualize. Du Fu’s encounter during the An Lu-shan rebellion made him well-received by the Song literati, and gave them the premise for interpretation of Du’s poems. Remarks on Poetry adopted an analogical way of expression, bixiang 比興, and allusion to study Du’s works and this provided more perspectives for interpretation and space for emotional sustenance. / Third, this thesis investigates the nature and format of Remarks on Poetry, and why it remains authoritative in literary canonization, despite its apparent arbitrary nature. Remarks on Poetry was a new form of poetry criticism in Song Dynasty. “Commentaries on isolated sentences drawn out from poems, zheju piping 摘句批評, and “Discussion on poetic form distinction, lunshi bianti 論詩辨體, are its usual presentation. Under this new style of critique, Remarks on Poetry developed a kind of value judgment with Du’s poetry as its basis: evaluating the value of Du’s poetry, demonstrating the diversity of his works, establishing an orthodox meaning for his poems, reinforcing the concept of higher ranking of his poems, and highlighting the importance of studying Du’s works. Such a style reinforced the canonical value of Du’s poetry. Coupled by the Remarks on Poetry’s nature as an authoritative reference text it defined the value system of those times and dictated the way in which literary works are to be made. / Fourth, this thesis puts Du Fu squarely in the conflict between Tang-styled and Song-styled poetry. Based on the theory “one ancestor and three predecessor, yizu sanzong 一祖三宗 , the Song-styled poetry strengthened its connection with Du Fu and reinforced its orthodoxy. The Tang-styled poetry also set Du Fu as its role-model but its discourse emphasized disconnecting Du’ works with the Song-styled poetry. Despite the conflict between the Tang-styled and Song-styled poetry, Du’s works were still highly recognized as an orthodox example by both groups and this contributed immensely to the continued canonical status of Du’s poetry. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 朱寳盈. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 230-241) / Electronic reproduction.
