On the Relationship between Self-Annotations and the Lyrical Implications in the Tang-Dynasty Poetry
Abstract
Self-annotation is an important and a popular phenomenon in the history of the Tang-Dynasty poetry, and it creates a complex relationship with the inner lyrical implications of poetry. Different modes of self-annotations in different developmental phases result in different relationships between self-annotations and poetic sentiments. The relation evolves from estrangement during early Tang and Dali Reign, to integration in Middle Tang and to the final recession in the Late Tang. This evolution shows that self-annotations follow a trajectory around lyrical implication of the poetry with a centrifugal or centripetal movement. The paper concludes that the mapping of the relationship between self-annotations and the lyrical implications in the poetry may cast new light on understanding the evolution of Tang-Dynasty poetry.
