WANG, Qiaochu. The Water in the Poetry of Nostalgia for the Hometown of Su Shi (Su Dongpo): Symbology and Context. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2024, vol.59, n.1, pp.69-87. Epub 01-Abr-2024. ISSN 2448-654X. https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v59i1.2873.
As a fundamental image of classical Chinese poetry, water assumes a remarkable importance in the work of Su Shi (Su Dongpo). In this paper, we analyze the meanings of this natural element in the compositions of Su Shi related to nostalgia for the hometown-one of the most representative themes in his poetic oeuvre-from the different psychological distances between the author and the image, which could be classified on three: evocation of nostalgia for the hometown, personification and spiritualization. Through translation and analytical observations, we study how the poet assimilates the literary tradition and then innovates with respect to the symbolism of water. The article reveals the influences of the Confucian and Daoist doctrines on the author, contributing to a deeper understanding of his inner world.
