Tu Long (; Wade-Giles: T'u Lung, 1542–1605), was a playwright and essayist who lived during the Ming Dynasty. He was born in Yin county (now Yin county, in suburb of Ningpo city, Zhejiang). In 1577, Tu Long obtained the degree of jinshi. He later became the Chief Magistrate of Qingpu (now Qingpu county, Shanghai ). After he was libeled and quit his job, he concentrated on writing plays and essays. Tu Long rejected the adherence to strict ancient format, he advocated that a writer must write from his heart. == Works == * Drama: ''Tan Hua Ji'', ("The Story of Udumbara") * Drama: ''Cai Hau Ji'', ("A Tale of Colorful Feather") about the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai 李白 * Poems: ''Bai Yu Ji'', ("White Elm Collection") Tu Long is best known internationally for his work on the art of living: Kao Pan Yu Shi, (考槃余事, "Desultory Remarks on Furnishing the Abode of the Retired Scholar"), first published in 1606. ''Desultory Remarks'' has fifteen treatises:
The art historian Craig Clunas suggests that the ''Desultory Remarks'' is essentially a compendium, gathered from other existing sources, such as Gao Lian's ''Eight Treatises on the Nurturing of Life'', (for which Tu Long wrote a preface). Whether or not this is the case, Tu Long's discourses certainly had greater immediate recognition and influence; they were much more widely cited in later collections, and were a primary source for Wen Zhenheng's Treatise of Superfluous Things.〔Clunas is following the argument of Weng Tongwen, see ''Superfluous Things: Material Culture and Social Status in Early Modern China'', University of Hawaii Press 2004, ISBN 0-8248-2820-8, pp. 29-30.〕 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「Tu Long」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
