| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 文學系 === 101 === Born in Southern Song Dynasty, Gao Zhi was always regarded as a poet of Chianghu school of poetry. Though his poems are not considered the literary works of main stream, they do reflect the suffering of people in war and his personal viewpoints of the time. Unfortunately, the poems of Gao Zhi are often neglected by the studies on Chianghu school poets in general. Therefore, this study adopts the poetry of Gao Zhi as the study subject to serve as a reference for future studies on the poet and his literary works.
This study is aimed at exploring the nature, features, and aesthetic skills of Gao Zhi’s poems in six different chapters. The first chapter is concerning the study’s motivation, scope, limits, methods, and literature review, while the second chapter is regarding the poet’s background, interpersonal relationships, literary works, and relation with Chianghu school of poetry. The third chapter divides the poems of Gao Zhi into three types: personal feelings, nature, and traveling to discuss their contents, while the fourth chapter is concerning the characteristics of the poet’s literary creations: delicate, simple, and down-to-earth. The fifth chapter focuses on the aesthetic skills of Gao Zhi’s poems such as his colorful expressions, delicate citations, various couplets, and reduplications, while this study concludes the discussion concerning the nature and literature position of Gao Zhi’s poems in chapter six.
In conclusion, this study tries to analyze the poet’s position and value in Chianghu school of poetry. It is discovered that Gao Zhi is a poet dedicated his lifetime to conveying the yearning for family and country, his personal feedback of life, and the illustrations of Southern Song Dynasty, which is also considered the poet’s contribution to the time.
The poet keeps records of his personal life, feelings, and feedback of the time in the manner of poems. Though his talents are not appreciated by the emperor, the poet demonstrates his expectations of recovering the homeland in his poetry and holds the stance of integrity and humility in his daily life. Therefore, this study may serve as a source providing a better understanding of Southern Song Dynasty and Gao Zhi, whose characters are rarely seen among his fellow poets of Chianghu school of poetry.
