The subject of this paper is the poet Liu Yung (987-1053) and his tz'u. Tz'u, a type of Chinese poetry originally intended to be sung, was a dominant poetic genre in the Sung Dynasty (960-1279). Liu Yung was not only the most popular tz'u poet in the Sung but also an important landmark in the historical development of the tz'u genre. The body of this paper is divided into two main parts. The first part reconstructs Liu's life based on the limited and scattered existing sources. This will present an outline of his activities as well as sketch his personality all of which will shed some light towards a better understanding of his poems and of his ability to change the tz'u genre. The second part, which constitutes the main body of the paper, explores the various characteristics of his poems emphasizing his various innovations in the tz'u genre. In the course of the discussion, comparisons and contrasts are made with the tz'u of the T'ang and the Five Dynasties in order to show how Liu departed from previous tz'u tradition. At the same time considerable attention is devoted to comparing Liu's tz'u with the Tun-huang folk songs in order to show how Liu was influenced by folk literature. More specifically, the second part uses a quantitative and analytical approach to examine in detail the form, content and technique of his tz'u. In particular, this part first examines Liu's most significant contribution to the tz'u genre--his use of the man-tz'u tune-patterns. Here, emphasis is placed on Liu's innovative role in expanding and developing the use of the longer tune-patterns in the writing of tz'u. The second part next explores the three "worlds" or the three main thematic categories of Liu's tz'u--poems on women and love, poems on separation and rootless wandering and poems on city life. Besides comparing and contrasting them with the Tun-huang folk songs and with the tz'u of the T'ang and the Five Dynasties, emphasis is also placed to show how Liu broadened and deepened the content of tz'u. Thirdly, the second part looks into Liu's diction including his use of images, various comparison and substitution techniques and creative imagery. Special attention is directed towards Liu's innovative use of colloquialisms, something which later greatly influenced the language of tz'u. Fourthly, the second part focuses on how Liu creates a strong sense of rhythm and continuity in his tz'u, partly through the conventional technique of repetition of sound (rhymes and tones), words (alliteration, rhyming and reduplicative disyllables) and lines (parallelism). Here, special attention is paid to his unique technique for creating rhythm and continuity—the use of lead-words and enjambment. Fifthly, the second part examines how Liu uses his particular expansive technique in his two types of poetic presentation—the direct narration of events and psychology and the fusion of emotion and scene. The general conclusion is that despite the fact that Liu was harshly attacked by orthodox scholars for his direct mode of expressing love and boudoir themes and the use of colloquialisms, still his various important innovations in the form, content and technique all of which greatly influenced the development of tz'u make him a pivotal figure in the history of tz'u. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

Net cages are mainly located on the coastal areas of Peng-hu and Ping-tung counties. Generally, there are two kinds of disasters occurred in the fish farming industries: one is caused by typhoon attack, while the other is caused by human vandalism. This paper is focus on how to prevent the damages induced by poaching or vandalism. Since high-valued fish are raised in the net cages, they are often become the targets of illegal intruders for stealing at night, especially when the net cages are lack of security system. Under such unsecured situation, entrepreneurs would not dare to invest in this industry and may keep a suspicious attitude towards it. Compare to land aquaculture, marine aquaculture is far more complicated in terms of techniques involved in production progress. Surely over-fishing has serious deplete the stock of biomass in the sea in the past decades. Recently, the skyrocketed oil price even deteriorate the fishing industry to such a level that fishing boats can only operate for a season in each year and end up losing money. However, Fisheries Agency has planned to recycle commercial fishing boats, and hopefully by doing so, this aquacultural industry will turn into a new trend in the near future. This research looks into 700 hectares of net cage park, Southern Oceanic Park, and suggests that the fishery authority turn this area into special district, adjust the fishery law, designate San-fu port as the park¡¦s operation center, finally set up a security system, then we may reduce the damage caused by unlawful activities. The geographical make-up of Liu-chiu provides ideal conditions for the present net cage area. The sea waters outside of San-fu port are also blessed with the same geographical advantage. This research looks at ¡§man-made calamities¡¨, namely vandalism and theft, so as to prevent damage and loss and protect resources and equipment. The areas chosen for this study include the surrounding sea waters of Liu-chiu aquaculture zone and the highly representative San-fu fishing port. There are also discussions on the installation of automatic alarm system in the eventual marine park. As an officer in a law enforcement administration for coastal affaires, my past contact with net cage fishermen revealed the damage and loss they have been undergoing and their sense of helplessness. On top of that, relevant documents turned out to be insufficient. Therefore, this research aims to figure out a way to fill this security gap by integrating public power from governmental services with protection and safety solutions on the part of individuals. To put this initiative to work, it is necessary to map out a special marine park where security mechanism could be automatically triggered by local facilities. This will then allow public power and personal endeavor to work simultaneously in the special zone and prevent any illegal activities. With its high applicability and pertinence, the eventual security system will hopefully entice more entrepreneurs, thus maintaining a sound net cage aquaculture.
