A Stylistic Analysis Of "tong-moon-seon"

The current research on the traditional Si Ku by Chinese scholars includes "classic","history" and "physicalist",while the studies on "belles-letters" just started.There are fifty-two genres in Tong-Moon-Seon which are classical Chinese poetry, prose poem, poetry, etc. There are ten subfield genres which are five-character classical poem, seven-character classical poem, five-character regulated verse, six-character regulated verse, etc. In general, there are only two or three mistakes in classifying poetry genres in Tong-Moon-Seon, i.e. taking "Ci" for poem, and the confusion between the ancient-style poetry and modern-style poetry. Comparatively, there are more mistakes in genres, such as titles, formats, contents, and even the false genre-"Shangshu", which all the researchers need to pay attention to. The layout in Tong-Moon-Seon is in the order of rhyme, prose, and rhyme-prose. The genre is in the order of ancient poem, regulated verse, and quatrain. In the poems, the layout is not completely in the order of authors. Some are edited according to the genres and the content. Especially the antiphon is before the poems with the same rhythm. The stylistic awareness in the preface and post Script to the Tong-Moon-Seon embody the Confucian literary concept. Lots of stylistic awareness are embodied clearly in Tong-Moon-Seon in the style of sub-indexing, articles arrangement and choosing the authors.Tong-Moon-Seon is full of spirits which contains Chinese collection and Korean Historical ones. On the stylistic origin, it is said that Zhao-ming Anthology has great influence on Tong-Moon-Seon. After a complete comparison, we find out that there are16similar genres in both Tong-Moon-Seon and Zhao-ming Anthology, there are6roughly same ones in genre. The maximum similarity in genre is less than50. The unique genres in each of them are26and17. Concerning genre, there are lots of Songs of Chu, Hanfu and parallel prose of six Dynasties in Zhao-ming Anthology, and the poetries in antithesis and verbal parallelism such as the works from Yan Yanzhi and Xie Lingyun. There are lots of memorial, commentary, notes and annotation in Tong-Moon-Seon, and lots of antithesis and verbal parallelism regulated verse, including some long regulated verse. Therefore, those conclusions of the previous researches are questionable. Comparatively, the writing rules in Tang-Wen-Cui, Song-Wen-Jian, Yuan-Wen-Lei have great influence on the layout of Tong-Moon-Seon. For example, there are twelve genres in both Tong-Moon-Seon and Tang Collection. Prose poem is before the poetry, and focus on Confucian literary concept. Tong-Moon-Seon and Song-Wen-Jian both take the order of prose poem-poetry-literacy in the whole book, and the order in ancient poetry-regulated verse-quatrain in genre, including five-character classical poem, sever-character classical poem, etc. In addition, there are both Miscellaneous Poems. The layout of Tong-Moon-Seon and Yuan Genre are helpful in social convention. Half of genres are similar in the two books. Besides, the influence of the Wen-Xin-Diao-Long, the Shi-Ji and the Hou-Han-Shu is quietly pervasive. Their native historical books have the obviously impact on it. The poetries in Tong-Moon-Seon came from the Sam-Guk-Sa-Gi, i.e. five-character classical poem, one five-character quatrain, two memorials, two memorials to the emperor, and four documents. There are22from Go-Ryeo-Sa, i.e. three seven-character classical poems, one imperial edict, one notice, one war proclamation, thirteen memorials to the emperor, and one bamboo kook. One distinctive character is that two names of Sinlla kings are disappeared, and personal collection alternative is chosen and absorbed. For instance, two genres of CI and movement from Jeong Deo-jeon’s Sam-bog Collection have been given up, and "Qing Ci" in Gwan Jin’s Yang-chon Collection has been chosen. The poetries are further classified in eight less-grand divisions in Dong-guk-yi-sang-guk Collection, i.e. five-character classical poem, etc. It changed the slogan into address, or two genres into one.The distinguish impacts of genre in Tong-Moon-Seon are embodied clearly in the "Hetao Poetry ", the "Poetries for Eight Xiaoxiang Views" and "Jiazhuan".
