말하지 않음의 미학 － 강기사(姜夔詞)의 정서 표현 방식 연구 －

초록

This study explores the unique aesthetic of Jiang Kui’s (姜夔) poetry through a detailed analysis of his emotional expression techniques. Jiang Kui employs tangible images such as plum blossoms, lotus flowers, and crickets to indirectly project his emotions, thereby creating deep and multilayered emotional landscapes without explicit articulation. He skillfully utilizes spatial voids and silence as expressive tools, developing an aesthetic of “emptiness” that intensifies the unspoken feelings within his works. Additionally, Jiang Kui’s distinctive use of prologues serves to gradually prime the emotional tone prior to the main text, naturally expanding the emotional scope and resonance. Ultimately, Jiang Kui’s poetry demonstrates a deliberate and refined aesthetic approach, wherein emotions are carefully distilled and elevated beneath subtle and layered expression. By neither evading nor idealizing pain and loss, he reconstructs these experiences with his unique poetic language, producing a timeless emotional impact. Jiang Kui’s works go beyond their historical context as representative Southern Song poetry to embody an “aesthetics of reticence,” continuing to inspire profound reflection and emotional engagement among contemporary readers.
