Abstract

This paper analyzes the characteristics of communication revealed in the process of questioning and answering the giving-and-answer poems of the Tang Dynasty. First, 'xingjuan(行卷)', 'tongbang(通榜)', 'tongyou(同遊)', and 'shiyan(詩宴)' were examined regarding the formation of society through poetry and political relationships among writers. Second, with the theme of ‘multi-cubic of love', how people create a 'semantic space' through giving-and-answer poems and how they develop a dedicated 'channel' are analyzed. Third, under the theme of 'intersection' between art and practical culture, various reactions when giving-and-answer poems collide with practicality are analyzed. Finally, the idea of how to apply the various practical functions and social and cultural meanings of gift-and-answer poetry as a mutual communication system in our lives and societies are considered. The ways communication can be accepted as a culture and ‘gift-giving poetry’ can be developed into the conditions and possibilities for living art are examined from the viewpoint of truth, goodness, and beauty.
