Yu Xin and the Sixth-century Literary World
No full textThis dissertation offers new perspectives to explore the writings of Yu Xin 庾信 (513-581 CE), one of the most prominent and representative writers in sixth-century China. Through a combination of close reading with a knowledge of current theory of persona criticism and particular attention to the historical and intellectual contexts of the sixth century, it examines the diversity of ideation and thematic patterns in the writings of Yu Xin. This dissertation centers on two sets of questions: 1. how did the dominant poetic image of Yu Xin as a nostalgic poet come into being? Did his contemporaries see him this way? How is this image constructed in his writings, and in what way did later readers and commentators help maintain and shape this image? 2. Apart from the traditional reading strategy that links his tragic experience with his writings, what are the other lenses through which we can understand the rich poetic corpus of Yu Xin? The two parts of this dissertation are respectively informed by these two sets of questions.
Part I, comprised of chapters 1 and 2, traces the historical reception of Yu Xin from the Northern Zhou to the early Five Dynasties by focusing on key historical moments that were significant in shaping historical context and providing interpretative framework to understand the poet. It shows that the mid-eighth century witnessed a shifting attention from the text of Yu Xin to his authorial image, with Du Fu being a major figure in this shift. Part II, comprised of chapters 3, 4, and 5, seeks to reorient our perspective on the poetic collection of Yu Xin and to uncover its polyvocality achieved by shifting language registers, voices, themes, and perspectives. Exploring the theme of state and wars, reclusion, and the religious realm respectively, the three chapters aim to unfold the literary craft of Yu Xin by exploring the complex relation between him and the textual traditions of classics, literature, and Buddhism as Daoism. Yu Xin was not only one of the best writers of the sixth century, but the most avid reader of the Classics, the literary texts, as well as religious scriptures, folklores, and ritual practices. This readerliness of Yu Xin’s corpus is represented by the extensive incorporation, transformation, and recreation of these earlier literary and religious canons into his writings.
The main purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: 1) to explore how and when the conventional authorial image of Yu Xin came into being, and 2) to discover alternative lenses to reexamine his poetic corpus. In so doing this dissertation seeks to gain a fuller view of the diversity and inventiveness of the poet. By placing him in the social and intellectual context of the sixth century, this dissertation aims for a clearer understanding of the reading and writing practice in this period

Savoirs traditionnels et pratiques magiques sur la route de la soie
Full text linkC’est à travers quelques exemples rendus révélateurs que l’on appréhende le mieux la circulation des objets culturels d’un bout à l’autre de l’ancien « Turkestan oriental » : un humble légume recèle des mystères ; la physiognomonie du cheval relève d’un art divinatoire dont témoignent des ouvrages sur lattes de bambou ; des poupées retrouvées le long de la route de la Soie conservent la mémoire de pratiques d’exorcisme… Surtout, l’archéologie de la Chine médiévale apparaît intimement liée à la question de la transmission de l’écrit. On a retrouvé à Turfan des versions différentes de textes aussi fondamentaux que le Livre des Han, ouvrant des perspectives nouvelles sur la philologie des Classiques qui s’y trouvent cités. Par touches successives, Yu Xin dégage les caractéristiques d’une archéologie prometteuse, celle de ces territoires désertiques du nord-ouest de la Chine qui, reliant le pays au reste de l’Eurasie, furent de brillants foyers de civilisation au temps de la route de la Soie

The Grave Memoirs by Yu Xin
Full text linkWhen we read a literary work which has described a figure of some person, we can find out two sorts of expressions of "individuallity" (個). One sort is a description of an individuallity of the objective character, and another one is a reflection of the individuallity of the writer himself. In this study, especially by means of examining the works of the Grave Memoir style--here, this term contains all styles that pay a tribute to the memory of a person, such as the Epitaph (碑), the Dirge (誄), the Lament (哀), the Grave Memoir (墓誌) and so on--by Yu Xin 庾信, trying to investigate the construction of the expression of those two "individuallity". Yu Xin, one of the most distinctive writer in the Northern Zhou dynasty (北周), has producted more than thirty pieces of works of the Grave Memoir style. It is a rare case in this genre that such a good number of the works which have been producted by a specific writer remains now. So they are worthy of examining as an important clue to clear up various characters of the history of the parallel-style porse (Pianwen 駢文). Of course, the Grave Memoirs by Yu, as most of pieces by the other writers in the Six dynasties (六朝), mostly are parallel-style. Although most of those pieces have been made in response to consignations from persons of ranks, which may be the ideal evidences to prove that Yu has been regarded as a fine writer in the Northern Zhou, we can distinguish a few pieces from the others, and can find out very interesting tendency on this point. The few, such as the Grave Memoir of Wu Mingche 呉明徹 and Liu Xia 柳遐, are which have described the persons who had some backgrounds in common with Yu. The difference between them and the other pieces for the person in direct descent from the Northern dynasties (北朝) is especially remarkable in the formation of the parallel phrase. Both in the part which tell about the career of the objective person, and in the most eulogistic part, Yu has often formed a single phrase before or after parallel phrases, and such formation has effectively brought about a broke meter. Certainly, Yu Xin's works of this genre are caharacterized by the combination of parallel phrase and nonparallel phrase. Moreover it may be said that it had been the turning point which distinguish Yu's works from the other's in the Six dynasties
