The Works in the lien-chu or "Strung pearls" form by Lu Chi and Yu Hsin--a comparative study
No full textYü Hsin 庾信 (513-581), who is generally regarded as the finest practitioner of belles-lettres in the late Six Dynasties, was quite good at writing pieces in the lien-chu 連珠 or "Strung pearl" form which had developed in the Han dynasty as a series of political aphorisms put together in paraller style. However, as some scholars remark, Yü Hsin's lien-chu works are fairly different from the traditional ones. This paper tries analyze this point, comparing Yü Hsin's work with works by Lu Chi 陸機 (261-303), the representative lien-chu writer before Yü Hsin. In the first place, the two poets definitely differ in their selection of topics. Yü Hsin in his lien-chu describes the history that he saw with his own eyes--the tragic history which started with Hou Ching's 侯景 revolt against the Liang government. And his main aim is to present his personal reactions to contemporary events. Lu Chi, on the other hand, deals with a topic more traditional in lien-chu work--the relationship between a man and his sovereign. In short, Yü Hsin's topic is of a more individual nature, while Lu Chi's is of a more universal nature. Next, this paper analyzes the structure of each style. In the case of Lu Chi, the sentences or words are arranged to distinguish the various aspects of the topic, while those of Yü Hsin are arranged to repeat the same aspects, which enables the latter's expression to be extremely effective. Finally, the difference both in the selection of topic and in the structure of the sentences results from the difference in the outlook on the world of the two poets. Lu Chi saw things from the traditional Confucianistic points of view, while Yü Hsin could not see things in a Confucianistic way any longer--he was an aesthete

A Contribution to the Study of Lu Chia's Hsin-yu 陸賈新語
No full textこの論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。Lu Chia 陸賈 was a Confucian statesman who flourished at the beginning of the Han dynasty. He dedicated the work by which he is known, the Hsin-yü, 新語 to Kao-tsu, 高祖 the first Han emperor, in the hope that it would lead to the establishment of a just government based on Confucian principles. Unfortunately, the present text of the Hsin-yü is replete with errors and omissions which render it virtually unintelligible. Various scholars, most prominently Sung Hsiang-feng have endeavored to restore the text by comparing it with fragments and passages which have survived as quotations in other works, for example, the Ch'ün-shu chih-yao 群書治要, preserved in Japan since T'ang times. Nevertheless, there remain a good many omissions and corruptions. The writer, therefore, has made a thorough emendation of the text in accodance with the demands of logic and style. Lu Chia was a successor of Hsün-tzu 荀子 who, during the Han, was considered the representative of orthodox Confucian thought. In particular, Lu adopted Hsün-tzu's hou-wang 後王 concept, that is, that "the later kings are superior to the former ones." Inevitably, therefore, he embraces a conception of history and of human society that is progressive. He regards Taoism as the friend of Confucianism but feels strong antagonism toward the Legalists 法家 and "the practitioners of the arts of immortality" 神仙家 both of whom had thrived under the Ch'in. The terms yin-yang 陰陽 ("positive and negative principles") and wu-hsing 五行 ("the five elements") do appear in the Hsin-yu, but they do not signify anything in the nature of fatalism or an inevitably recurring pattern. In general, his ideas were attuned to the main currents of thought of the Warring States period and they opened the door to the Confucian idealism of the Han period
