Lecture 2: Anna SHIELDS 田安 (Princeton University 美國普林斯頓大學): Daoism in Poetry from the Late Tang through the Early Northern Song: Losing the Way
In this lecture, we will examine the role of Daoism in poetry from the ninth century through the early Northern Song, with a focus on the ways that Daoist themes pervaded key strands of the poetic tradition, with attention to how these interests were erased in later views of the Tang poetic canon. Scholarly debates over the influence of Buddhism and Daoism on Tang poetry are often shaped by disciplinary boundaries, producing disparate conclusions about the relative role and importance of religious belief and practices on poetry, and the standard literary historical narratives of the Tang often marginalize writing on religious topoi. In the short pre-assigned readings and lecture, we will consider how we might read across such boundaries and put poetry treating Daoist topoi back into a broader literary historical understanding of the Tang, and also into conversation with poetry on Buddhist themes, sites, and figures.
