ABSTRACT

This paper studies Tang poets' aversion to southern China by analyzing Tang poetry containing the geographical image ‘zhang’ (瘴, miasma). This kind of hatred mainly generated from three factors. First, Tang poets had prejudice against southern region due to their inheritance of literary tradition. Second, the difference in geographical environment between southern and northen China made them unfamiliar with southern China. Third, some of the them suffered from the peculiar endemic disease in southern China. Therefore, from these three aspects, this paper examines how Tang poets' repugnance to southern China comes into being. It also explores, from both literary and literary geographical perspective, how 'zhang' was depicted in specific poems, how 'zhang' collaborates with other poetic images to reflect poets' aversion to southern China, and how poets express their feelings and thoughts by using 'zhang' as a medium.
