ABSTRACT

The Concept of Satire and its Methodical Features Ji, Shin-Ho This report will discuss the concept of the eastern satire and its methodical features which is somewhat different from the Western one, looking into modern concepts of the eastern and western satire. Until these days, established studies have sometimes shown that the eastern literature theories were less logical and analytic, therefore many researchers have borrowed the western literature theories to investigate eastern literatures. In the eastern literature tradition, the satire is not only the rhetoric method done by the idea of correcting foolishness of the objects or contradictions of the society, but also more positive way of expression having significances in treating human nature and restoring the right one through the works of good contents. In terms of the satiric methods, successive writers and critics have understood ‘bu’[賦, a prose poem] ‘bi’[比, comparison] ‘heung’[興, arousing feelings] to be equally important ones in the discussions of the composing satiric poems. Even thought the ‘bu’ looks less satirical externally, it can reveal deep feelings of allegory internally. So we should think of the satirical way of ‘bu’ as a more positive method. Also, in terms of the attitude, the eastern writers have not criticized the objects strongly in an morally high position pointing out their errors, but made them to be aware their mistakes by themselves explaining earnestly to them who didn't have the right moral standard.
