出塞と何園の連章詩

Abstract

Among the more than 1400 poems by Tu Fu, we find almost 120 series of poems centering around a single theme. His mastery of poetic technique is evident in all of them, but of particular interest are the groups of two series each which bear the titles "Leaving for the Frontier" and "General Ho's Forest Villa." The contrasts between these two groups are also worthy of note, the former expressing the poet's severe criticisms of war, the latter dealing with his appreciation of the beauties of nature. The purpose of this paper is to study these contrasts and to explain Tu Fu's versification.
