杜甫と元結・「篋中集」の詩人たち

Abstract

The sudden upsurge of poetic spirit was a major factor in the flowering of poetry that marked the height of the T'ang. Among the men who, in the name of traditionalism, worked to encourage this revival of the poetic spirit, one of the most influential was Tu Fu's friend Su Yüan-ming 蘇源明 (d. 764). During the latter years of his stay in Ch'ang-an (754-758), Tu Fu became associated with Su Yüan-ming's traditionalist group, and was greatly influenced by them. Among the members of the group were Yüan Chieh 元結 (719-772) and the other poets represented in the anthology which Yüan Chieh compiled, entitled Ch'ieh-chung chi 篋中集. Yüan Chieh in particular enjoyed a close friendship with Su Yüan-ming. Tu Fu seems to have had no direct association with Yüan Chieh, but he was friendly with four of the Ch'ieh-chung-chi poets. The present paper discusses the connections between Yüan Chieh's associates and Tu Fu, and attempts to determine what influence they had on Tu Fu's work. The author has concentrated particularly upon the possible connections between Tu Fu's "San li" 三吏 "San pieh" 三別 and the twelve poems in Yüan Chieh's "Hsi-yüeh-fu" 系樂府. Among the latter, that entitled "Ch'ung-ling hsing" 春陵行 appears to have had a very significant influence on Tu Fu's late works.
