A New Perspective for Awakening the World - Twelve Towers Revisited / 覺世新編:重訪李漁十二樓

碩士 / 國立中央大學 / 中國文學系碩士在職專班 / 100 / Li Yu made a difficult decision to give up an official career by the way to pass official imperial examination as he went through a major historical event named Chia-Shen Chih- Pien. Finally, he decided to went his way which was much different from official career to realize his ideal in troubled times.
He was known not only for Drama creations but also for Colloquial Fiction with unique style, including “The Silence Drama”, “Twelve Towers” and “Liancheng Bi”. However, during the period of exchanged-dynasty, He was also widely misunderstood as he was so expert at marketing of his creations and as his complicated creative ideas.
Besides Li Yu’s Dramas and Theories have long been interested by researchers, some researchers are gradually focus on the study of his Vernacular Novels. We may clearly see Li Yu’s deeply concern for worldly affairs through love affairs and other common things described in his Dramas or Novels.
First Reason for me to study “Twelve Towers” is that this is a creation with little dispute and also his final one of Vernacular Novels. Secondly, Du Ju respectfully called Li Yu as a “Awaken Man” when he annotated “Twelve Towers”, and added that “Twelve Towers” not only have dimly edifying effect on the world but also guide people who lost the way.
Even though more researchers show their interest in the Novels study of Li Yu, they still focus on Narrative Analysis or Women''s Studies. Different from those topics, this essay will discuss how Li-Yu expressed his sincere care to awake the world by reference to the preface of “Twelve Towers” written by Du Ju and named as “A new perspective for awakening the world - Twelve Towers Revisited”
