Gaoqi was born in 1336 and died in 1373 at age 39. In the history of literature, he was a poet as famous as Songlian and Liuji in the Ming Dynasty and lived in an extremely unruly time. Only a few theses about him can be found in Taiwan, i.e. the Study of Gaoqi¡¦s Poetry by Liu Long-hsun and the Study of Gaoqinqiu¡¦s Poetry by Tsai Mao-hsiong. More theses have been written in China, but in general, there is not much information about this great poet. Information on the Plum Blossom Poems is similar with all of Gaoqi¡¦s poems, i.e. not much literature can be found.
The study took Gaoqi¡¦s Plum Blossom Poems as the main subject, but since its development was continuous, the Plum Blossom Poems from another period are also discussed. The diverse characteristics of the Plum Blossom Poems in different Dynasties were studied, so that the creative thinking characteristics and artistic performance of Gaoqi can be further understood.
There are sixteen parts in six chapters in the thesis; its description is as follows:
Chapter I: The introduction. It includes a foreword of the study and Gaoqi¡¦s autobiography. The project¡¦s motivation, relevant literature, and study methods are introduced. Gaoqi¡¦s background and his experiences are also described.
Chapter II: The development of the Plum Blossom Poems from the South-North Dynasties (420-598) to the Yuan Dynasty. The famous poems are introduced and analyzed.
Chapter III: Thoughts on Gaoqi¡¦s poems and inheritance. Discussion regarding the artistic inheritance of the Plum Blossom Poems from past periods and its creative techniques.
Chapter IV: Gaoqi¡¦s Plum Blossom Poems (part I). There are a total of 33 poems. The poems, each consisting of eight lines, are discussed. They include nine poems on plum blossoms, five poems of chanting plum blossoms that follow the rhyming word that ends a line of verse written by Yianshi and two poems of chanting plum blossoms that follow the rhyming word that ends a line of verse written by Xiyuangong.
Chapter V: Gaoqis¡¦ Plum Blossom Poems (part II). Discusses another poem¡¦s style including ancient poetry and poem of four lines with an analysis of Gaoqi¡¦s poems.
