ABSTRACT

This study tried the interdisciplinary blended approach among the literary world, the religion, the thought, and the education of Su Shi (蘇軾, 1036-1101) - the great writer of the Song Dynasty. The purpose of this study is establishing Su Shi's public values toward the Ren thought and the Compassion thought - the virtues of humanistic education - from a complementary standpoint and analyzing the source and the practice aspects of the two thoughts. Su Shi lived a tough life while experiencing mental and realistic sufferings as the politically underprivileged person due to party strifes. However, even staying in a limited boundary during exile, he always thought of the people first and actively tried to share pain and joy with them. The root of his thought of loving people is different from the literary people of the ordinary political noblemen. The main points of the ideology by Su Shi are difficult to understand since it ranges over the entire three ideologies - Confucianism (儒), Buddhism (佛), and Taoism (道). The studies which have been carried out so far have fragmentarily looked into his individual ideology or put focus on Confucian ideology even it was a blended study. Su Shi overcame life's hardships through Zen (禪) and mastered the meaning of blending. 'Blending' is combining after melting. This study understood the ideological characteristics of Su Shi, comparatively examined his Selflessness (仁) and Mercy (慈悲) Ideology, and looked into cases of practicing blending ideology. This study established the boundary and relationship of selflessness (仁) and compassion (慈悲) and this study was conducted by focusing on flexibly combining blended relief projects by Su Shi with the political and social circumstances of the time based on the finalized meaning of selflessness (仁) and mercy (慈悲). This study will expand the research boundary of Su Shi (蘇軾) and open a new horizon in exploring blended humanitarian ideology of selflessness (仁) and compassion (慈悲) based on interdisciplinary connection. In addition, this study can be utilized as an exemplary educational material in the aspect of 'respect and consideration', which are essential in the community consciousness of we live together during personality education associated activities.
