Li Deyu (787-849) was a distinguished statesman and literati in Late Tang Dynasty who gained comprehensively worship as a primer minister whereas trapped in factionalism, exiled to the remote Hainan Island in his late years and died there eventually, arising scholars' endless mourning and lamentation. Li wrote more than a hundred poems and thirty-two rhapsodies during his life among which the most frequent image was his Pingquan villa albeit Li himself presented perennial absenteeism of being there. Previous study deemed Pingquan as Li's life settlement, following the hermeneutic cycle of traditional Chinese hermit discourse that taking gardens and villas as literati's spiritual utopia for they could attain the balance of going out and into the secularity once being there. However, this paper stated that, Pingquan showed much more affluent significance due to its owner's unique identity and legendary experience. And Li Deyu, demonstrated an unconventional landscape aesthetics and survival an philosophy through his writings, which was, an interaction and integration between the Public (public politics) and Private (private space). On the Public side, Li manifested his prominence by listing the rare stones and marvelous plants in his garden in detail, vividly depicting how wondrous and unattainable those goods were, which was significantly different from the literati's garden-writing intertextuality. This was because the Garden was actually intricately and closely connected with the party struggle for the articles were almost tributes from inferior officials who tended to butter Li up. Moreover, Pingquan was a pragmatic media of expanding and consolidating official network. On the Private side, Li interpreted Pingquan Villa as his virtual hometown, showing his nostalgia and affection for it continually which enlarged the meaning of "Gui" (getting back home) in classical Chinese poetry. Also, the Garden supplied with mental and physical healing function for the plants served herbal medicines which cured Li's body and the scenery brought Li a cheerful state. |
