博士 === 國立中央大學 === 中國文學研究所 === 99 === For Literature research, literary theory, literary criticism and literary history are its core research topics. When these three categories all mention realistic poetry, their existences were proved; as a ‘model’ reader/researcher, we should dedicate ourselves into the atmosphere of the topic and come up with explanations for its importance and existing form. Although Chinese art has possessed the element of realism for a long time, it’s a little different from Western ‘realism’. Therefore in this paper, ‘realism’ was separate into ‘(Western) realism tradition’ and ‘realistic concept tradition/conceptual system’ for further analysis precisely. Besides, although scholars claimed lyric poetry can be on behalf of the flourishing Chinese literature, oppressive narrative tradition is still worthy to pay attention. Under the Western literature context, epic, drama and novels are inseparable; feature-length narrative is also regarded as a requisition of realism. Chinese realistic poetry certainly has fine pieces; however, they’re nothing to do with epics- no matter it is called epic, story poetry or feature-length narrative- and usually pile up words to build the realism effect. This thinking also reflects on relevant modern criticism. Therefore, according to this feature, the paper (Chapter 2 and 3) used ‘mimicking-realism’ and ‘satirizing-realism’ to integrate the criticism documents and proceeded research respectively. As for ‘the thinking of Tsu-Wei’ (the attempt to jump out the artistic position) mentioned in realism topic in the poetry, - ‘mimicking’ indicates painting rather ‘satirizing’ indicate novels- they’ll be clarified in Chapter 4. Moreover, we will review the misreading and erroneous judgments added on Chinese literary criticism. As for the question such as interpretation efficiency, potential research limitation and possibility of development, they will be reviewed in the final chapter. This paper aims to come up with a rigid interpretation for ‘The Realism Concept in Chinese Classic Poetry.’
