A Study of the Weng Fanggang 翁方綱 Edition
of the Shi Gu zhu Dongpo shi 施顧註東坡詩
Lo-fen I
Abstract
During the Southern Song dynasty, Shi Yuanzhi 施元之 and his son
Shi Su 施宿, together with Gu Xi 顧禧, composed the Shi Gu zhu
Dongpo shi 施顧註東坡詩. Published in 1213, this is the first work that
provided an annalistic review and annotations on Su Shi 蘇軾’s poetry.
Only a portion of the Weng Fanggang 翁方綱 edition of the text has
survived to the present, and it is currently found in the National Central
Library in Taiwan.
This paper examines the seals, inscriptions and paintings contained
in the Weng Fanggang edition of the Shi Gu zhu Dongpo shi. The
inscriptions and paintings found in this work date from the 18th
century to
the 1940s, and they provide an important window for examining how
poetics changed and developed during this period.
This article demonstrates that, from the 18th
century, the annotators
of the poems displayed a tendency to override the poet. The annotator
shaped the image of the poet, which became more influential than the
content of the poems themselves.
