| dc.description.abstract | When mentioning the poetry from loses people, we put much more emphasis on their nationalism rather than seclusion, which is viewed as a passive attitude, in the history of literature. In fact, these people not only write but also taught, gathered in societies, and even joined religious activities when secluded. After reading “Complete Sung-dynasty Poetry”, I founded that it includes abundant Taoism elements. These loses people admired Taoism and some of them became Taoist. Meanwhile, the activities and affection of Taoism can be seen from the poetry.
The poetry of ten loses people are illustrated in this essay to discuss Taoism-related poetry. Firstly, I made a definition of “Nan-Song loses people” and “Taoism poetry”. In the second chapter, I analyses the admiration of Taoism-fashion at that time, and discussed the situation of “Taoist literaturlize” and” literature Taoism” from Nan-Song dynasty to early Yuan dynasty from two respects: developing by Taoism itself and encouraging by dominators. From the third chapter to the fifth I discussed the Taoism affection of loses poets from four aspects: “friendship”, “tourism”, “praying ceremony” and “making pills of immortality”. In the sixth chapter the meaning of loses people’s poetry are separated into three parts and discussed. One is the missing of last dynasty and the awareness of loses people; the sorrow of lost are hidden behind the description of nature and myth. Another section is the desire of being a celestial through the fantasy of dreams or other ways. Besides, the concept of seclusion is combined with celestial to show the scene of “paradise everywhere”.
The other is the dilemma between serving a government or not, which is also a dilemma between Confucianism and Taoism. In this part, I discussed the form of seclusion thoroughly for their lifestyle was not only deeply affected by Taoism but also showed Confucian spirit. In the seventh chapter, I focused on the discussion of the Taoism image and concept in the poetry’s. Multiple images of Taoism enrich the conception of Taoism, and they integrate the conception with appreciation of the beauty to show the characteristic of Taoism poetry.
