| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The Santaishi (『三体詩』) was compiled in the Southern Song dynasty by Zhou Bi (周弼) (1194～?) as an anthology of poetry, primarily from the middle-to-late Tang dynasty. It was also read with great pleasure in Japan from the Muromachi period (1333-1573) to the Edo period (1603-1868). In this course, we will intensively read part of this collection, the "shichigon zekku" (Chinese poems of four lines with seven characters each). We will improve reading comprehension of classic poetry and prose, while also learning literature investigation techniques by drafting detailed translator's notes. Furthermore, we aim to cultivate a better understanding of Tang dynasty literature. | |||
| Course Goals |
・Learn the fundamentals of modern-style poetry forms and syntax. ・After closely examining authentic precedents and examples, learn methods for making detailed and exhaustive annotations. ・Deepen understanding of the life stories and literature of important Tang dynasty poets. |
