''Nineteen Old Poems'' (), also known as ''Ku-shih shih-chiu shih'' is an anthology of Chinese poems, consisting of nineteen poems which were probably originally collected during the Han Dynasty. These nineteen poems were very influential later poetry, in part because of their use of the five-character line (or, ''wuyen shi'').〔Watson 18-19〕 The dating of the original poems is uncertain,〔Watson, 19〕 though in their present form they can be traced back to about 520 CE, when these poems were included in the famous literary analogy ''Wen Xuan'', a compilation of literature attributed to the Liang Crown Prince Xiao Tong. The ''Nineteen Old Poems'' have been supposed to date mainly from the second century CE.〔Watson, 19〕 The gushi, or old style, poetry developed as an important poetic form of Classical Chinese poetry, in subsequent eras. The authorship of the "Nineteen Old Poems" is anonymous, however there are indications as to the authorship in terms of class and educational status, such as the focus on "the carriages and fine clothing, the mansions and entertainments of the upper classes", together with the literary references to the ''Shijing''.〔Watson, 19 and 31〕 One of the tendencies of these poems is towards a "tone of brooding melancholy."〔Watson, 30〕 :::::::::::-- Burton Watson, describing the ''Nineteen Old Poems'', as quoted in his book ''Chinese Lyricism''.〔Watson, 32.〕 ==See also== *Classical Chinese poetry *Gushi (poetry) *Han poetry *''Wen Xuan'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nineteen Old Poems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
