退溪閒居組詩及其對漢文化的傳習與轉化

The Transmission and Transformation of Han Culture in Yi Toegye’s Suite of Poems Titled“Xianju”(Leisurely Living)

李滉（退溪，1501-1571）是朝鮮儒家的代表人物，除了思想論著外，同時喜好作詩。漢詩是他與師友交流的媒介，也是表達人生體驗和感悟的重要形式。本文聚焦討論退溪自題「閒居」的組詩，可歸納為三大主題：學問造詣之傳習印證、召喚同志之勸勉講論、閒居生活之諦觀實踐。而後說明他對漢文化閒居傳統的傳習與交融，從而彰顯〈和子中閒居二十詠〉的新意所在。最後指出退溪之後，朝鮮儒學者也通過唱和傳達對退溪學問的共鳴，開展出〈閒居二十詠〉系列寫作風潮。

Yi Hwang李滉(Toegye退溪, 1501-1571) was a representative Confucian figure in Korea. In addition to ideological treatises, he also enjoyed composing poetry. Classical Chinese poetry served as a medium for communication with his friends and as a significant literary form for expressing his life experiences and insights.
This article focuses on Toegye’s suite of poems titled“Xianju”閒居(Leisurely Living), which can be categorized into three main themes: the transmission and confirmation of academic attainments, encouragement and discourse with like-minded individuals, and the contemplation and practice of leisurely living. It furthermore elaborates on his integration and transmission of the Han cultural tradition of“leisurely living,”highlighting the innovative aspects of his“He Zizhong xianju ershi yong”和子中閒居二十詠(Responding to Zizhong’s Twenty Poems on Leisurely Living). Finally, it points out that after Toegye, Korean Confucian scholars conveyed their resonance with Toegye’s scholarship through poetic response, initiating a trend of writing series of poems such as“Xianju ershi yong”閒居二十詠(Twenty Poems on Leisurely Living).
