ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate how Chinese classical literature is transfigurated in the field of cultural politics with focusing on the publishing process and its background of Allusions of Xi Jinping. Until the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese government began to explore ways to solve various social problems such as the widening gap between rich and poor and widespread corruption among officials, taking the human tradition as ‘now, here’ and encourages individual ethics. It is fully expanded the cultural politics through the classical literature by the Chinese government. I would like to consider a surface that has been used as a mechanism to classic literature to educate the moral consciousness of the people through the Allusions of Xi Jinping. First, I carefully examined the system and its contents of Allusions of Xi Jinping and analyzed the intertextuality between classical literature and political discourse. I have grasped the meaning of constructing a new combination of the method of citing the Xi Jinping classics centering on the heading sentence and speech and the scriptures. The reason why Chinese leaders, as represented by Xi Jinping, enjoys using classical literature in political discourse is that the quotation of the necessary poetry in the text that is “officialized” This is because it is possible to acquire “authority” by presenting that there is a “basis for”. Secondly, we analyzed the way in which the Chinese government uses the classics to inject governance ideology and ethics norms by using them as a mechanism of national personality education and moral education. In order to establish the legitimacy of governance, Xi Jinping introduced a moral model to the bureaucratic group and the public by explaining the humanistic spiritual virtue embodied in the classics at the official seats. Xi Jinping has given a new role to the era by choosing exemplary management from a historical point of view, and It can be understood that there is a willingness to persuade the opposing forces against government policies. Through this study, it will be possible to contribute to the understanding of China by understanding various aspects of cultural politics using the classics of Chinese government.
