ABSTRACT

This paper explores the insightful mental image in poems, which reflects the empty mind of the poet, mainly focusing on Sushi’s poetry. Sushi, a famous literati of the Song Dynasty, suffered from repeated ouster but eventually overcame the tribulation, as reflected in his work, through the self-transcendence that is achieved from unceasing self- examination. We investigate the transcendence aspects of the insightful mental image in Sushi’s poetry and categorize them into three insights; impermanence obtained from the contemplation of nature, non-self encountered in relationships, and dissatisfaction experienced from the his long period of political exile. We believe that this study on introspection and inner worlds of the poet allows us to step forward to the better understanding of the poetry.
