Liu Kezhuang was a renowned polymath of the Southern Song Dynasty, but most studies focus on his poetry and lyrics, with little attention given to his role as an essayist. There is also a lack of a nuanced examination of the overlapping aspects of his multiple identities. Therefore, this paper uses Liu Kezhuang's epitaphs written for his poetic friends as a starting point to connect his dual identities as a poet and essayist, and also offers a glimpse into his writing style and characteristics through these epitaphs. The paper consists of three main sections. First, it explores Liu Kezhuang's identity as a poet through the contexts of“jianghu”and“Putian”, identifying two stages in his life and reflecting on how he defined his poetic friends in the role of the epitaph writer. Second, key terms such as ''official career,'' ''poetry,'' and“poverty”are extracted from these epitaphs to examine the historical and dialectical changes in Liu Kezhuang's understanding of the relationship between these three elements. Finally, based on an understanding of Liu Kezhuang's change in attitude, the paper further analyzes the active authorial consciousness present in his epitaph writing. This includes moments where he integrates lyricism to reflect on past events or adopts historiographical techniques, revealing his intention to elevate the name of the deceased through his writing. |
