沈亞之 문학 창작 배경 및 유형 小考

Abstract

ShenYaZhi(781-832) was one of the literary writers, who belonged to the person of the Mid-Tang period. The genre of his literary works were so eclectic that it ranges from ChuanQi[傳奇] to proses[散文] or poems[詩歌]. He also belonged to HanMenDizi[韓門弟子], but despite of the position, he does not seem to be the center of attention since then, and this is quite an interesting one. In this essay, I researched ShenYaZhi himself and his background, especially the background of his whole life and of the atmosphere of literary world during Mid-Tang, and tried to find out the connection between his literary works and some backgrounds around him, and by extention, find out the reason why he was undervalued and why he has little historical data. If we take a look at his whole life, his short life was full of agonies and mischances, and it is certain that these factors affected him and his writings. And according to the collection of ShenYaZhi's works [沈下賢集], we can sort his works into five form groups. In this essay, the form of poems was more lighlighted than other genres, because there have been a tendency that his poems attract less attention than other genres, such as ChuanQi [傳奇]. In this essay, I tried to find out not only the clue about literary person ShenYaZhi himself, but the clue about ShenYaZhi as a human being. I hope this research will be able to be the background data for the following convergence researches regarding ShenYaZhi.
