Exposing the Authorial Intent? Self-commentaries in Xie Lingyun’s Shanju Fu
Original language description
One remarkable feature of the early-fifth-century autobiographical poem Shanju fu 山居賦 (Fu on dwelling in the mountains)by Xie Lingyun 謝靈運 (385-433) is that the poet provided his verse with regular annotation in what he called "self-commentaries" (zizhu 自注). The Shanju fu, composed in the grand fu genre, was written after the poet, following his abruptdecision, not sanctioned by the court, to retire from office, settled on his ancestral estate in Shining in Guiji prefecture onthe eastern periphery of Song state. The poem provides extensive descriptions of the environment through the eyes of thepoet personally observing, discovering, inspecting, managing, and enjoying his estate. These descriptions are framed withbrief meditations on the general topic of living in reclusion, the lives of the poet and his ancestors, and his own pursuit ofDaoist longevity and Buddhist enlightenment. Unlike previous scholarship about the Shanju fu, I discuss the poem from theperspective of its self-commentaries and argue that they are an important structural device enabling the author to mitigate thepotentially dangerous rhetoric of political independence and sovereignty subtly expressed in the poem.
