制御された逸脱 : 杜甫七言拗律論

Abstract

Du Fu is known as the most significant Tang poet who completed the style of seven-syllabic regulated verse, presenting the prosodic rules through his several writings concretely. Although, this elaborate style was occasionally broken down by Du Fu himself, then he created an original style of the "skewed" seven-syllabic "regulated" verses such as: "The Highest Tower of White Emperor Castle 白帝城最高樓." Some critics postulated that these "skewed" verses were not completed perfectly because Du Fu was becoming indifferent to meter, but this explanation cannot account for the very strict rhyme scheme seen in the "skewed" verses. The author argues that the poet was weaved the "skewed" prosodic pattern in cautious and intentional manner, it was a "controlled Anomie." The "skewed" verses were the fruit of a kind of poetic linguistic experiment for Du Fu himself. He would have considered that his "Autumn Meditations, eight poems 秋興八首", "Generals, five poems 諸將五首" and "Poetic Thoughts on Ancient Sites, five poems 詠懷古跡五首" were his own best seven-syllabic regulated verses.
