Spring Silkworms and Stopping Drinking: Tao Yuanming's Poems from the Perspective of Intertextuality
by Fan Ziye
About This Novel
This book is the first academic monograph in Chinese academic circles to use the theory of "intertextuality" to study Tao's poetry. The core of this theory is that any literary text is not self-sufficient, but is produced on the basis of absorbing literary texts created by predecessors and contemporaries. Therefore, any text implies other texts. This book deeply analyzes the text generation mechanism of this group of poems in both vertical and horizontal directions, and completely dispels the fog that has shrouded this group of poems throughout the ages. The elucidation of the poem "Zhijiu" in this book also reveals the artistic origin and far-reaching influence of the poem "Zhijiu" in the artistic form, and shows the relationship between the "Zhijiu" style and the "Zhijiu complex" of ancient Chinese literati. Through in-depth research on these classic Tao poems, this book makes up for the shortcomings of Western "intertextuality" theory that emphasizes content over form, and shows the importance of "intertextuality" in artistic forms for literary construction. The three appendices at the back of the book are by-products of the author's study of the "intertextuality" of Tao's poems, providing richer literary text evidence for the theoretical interpretation of the book.
