よりよく生きる為の糧として古典作品を味読します。
Perusal of classical literary works to live a better life.

中国文学の魅力は、懐の深さにあります。中国古典文学全体でいえば、人間が生きていく中で生じることについてはほとんどすべて誰かがどこかで作品にしていますから、考えるための題材が豊富です。一篇一篇についていえば、その作品ができるまでの文化をまとっているのが普通ですから、様々な深度での解釈が可能です。使われる言葉も一筋縄ではいきません。有名な杜甫の「春望」にある「三月」という2文字をどう捉えるか、「三ヶ月」なのか「陰暦三月」なのか、その違いだけでも、詩全体のニュアンスが変わってきます。当コースでは、作品の面白さにじかに触れて言葉に対する感性を磨き、人間に対する理解を深め、よりよく生きる道を模索していきます。
The Chinese literary works intrigue us with their greatness in coverage. Taking the Chinese classical literary works as a whole, almost all things that arise in one’s course of life are dealt with and put in the works somewhere by somebody, as such there are abundant items and materials useful for giving thoughts. Taking each literary work, it usually carries along the culture of the times up to when it was written, thus is susceptible of multiple ways and depths of interpretation. The words and phrases used in the works are also far from simple. For example, how do you understand the word of “three month” that appears in the “Chun Wang”, the Spring View, written by the highly reputed poet Du Fu and expressed in just two Chinese letters? “Three months” or “the month of March under lunar calendar”? This difference alone can lead to derivation of different nuances of the whole poem. This Area provides an opportunity for students to develop sensitivity to words and phrases by directly touching on the marvels of the literary works, deepen insights into the human beings and explore the ways of living a better life.
