ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the five areas of ‘Baqiao(灞橋)', ‘South port(南浦)’, ‘Bridge on river(河梁)’, ‘Turning point(岐路)’, ‘Farewell pavilion(離亭)’, which are frequently mentioned in the Tang dynasty’s poetry. First of all, these five places can be found in the primary symbol in that the departure is most frequently done in Tang poetry. Separation is done regardless of the place, but the material used in the poetry plays a role in making the meaning of separation better. The five places are separated from each other with different local characteristics in terms of bridges, port, crossroad, and station, and the features utilized in the poetry are also comparable. ‘Baqiao(灞橋)' is a place that stands out as a representative place to leave the Chang'an(長安) in the Tang Dynasty. ‘South port(南浦) is a farewell place with a background of water, so it often depicts a farewell departing aboard by ship. ‘Bridge on river(河梁)’ is a place where one person can feel any kind of connection because it is a place where the shape of the bridge that passes through the water is located. ‘Turning point(岐路)’ is a good place where the synergy of sad emotions can be achieved due to the conflict that need to be separated on several roads and choose one side. It is meaningful that ‘Farewell pavilion(離亭)’ is a place that the farewell feeling is more abundant due to alcohol, song, and farewell in the moment of staying. The above place of separation has been mentioned in the general meaning category in the previous poetry, and it can be said that it becomes a kind of stereotyped by gradually adding various emotions through the Tang Dynasty. Through the poetry, the parting places that have made the deepening of the meaning represent the typical meaning of the poetry, singing the farewell with each symbolism. The significance of these five places is fully meaningful because they can be different according to how they use these materials in poetry.
