A Search for the Common Poetry Mind & Literary Mind : A Study on the Appreciation and Literary Critic of On the Art of Poetry by Qian Zhongshu
보편적 시심과 문심의 추구 ― 전종서 『담예록』의 리취론과 문학비평을 중심으로
『담예록(談藝錄)』은 첸중수(錢鍾書, 1910-1998)의 문예비평서이자 중국 최초의 중서(中西) 비교 시학서이다. 첸중수는『담예록(談藝錄)』집필 과정에서 동서고금의 문예 전반을 아우르는 주요 현상 및 쟁점을 정리, 그 속의 오류를 밝혀내어 학술적으로 바로 잡고자 했다. 또한 방법론적으로는 중국과 서양의 고전 및 문예이론에 대해 상호 비교(參較), 상호 참조(參互)를 진행하여 동서고금의 문예 전반을 포괄적으로 아우르고자 했다. 이에 근거하여 본 논문은 크게 ‘감상(appreciation)’과 ‘평론(critic)’의 문예학적 시각을 통해 양자(兩者)의 접점이『담예록』에서 어떻게 구현되었는지, 첸중수 학문 연구의 궁극적 지향점인 ‘시심(詩心)’과 ‘문심(文心)’ 의 ‘보편적’인 ‘문예심리(文藝心理)’가 『담예록』에서 어떻게 발현되었는지 고찰하여 학자 첸중 수와 그의 학문에 좀 더 다가설 수 있는 발판을 마련해보고자 한다.
On the Art of Poetry談藝錄 written by Qian Zhongshu錢鍾書 is a book of literary criticism and the first book of Chinese and Western Comparative Poetics. In the course of writing, Qian concluded the major phenomenons and issues of literature of at all the times and in all lands, who are able also to debunk some problems.

I think that Qian did his research in his separate ways and own idea, established his own independent domains. Chapter three, tried to analyze about Qian’s critical viewpoint of literary criticism. Qian take the reader on a voyage between ancient and modern, and between Chinese and Western canons, thereby gradually building a methodology and different thought process towards literary & scholarly writing that gave Qian’s critic work a unique style.

Qian discussed about a lot of theme in his book, it is not only the style of the poet, but also writing style, temperament, talent and learning, romantic charm, rhetoric, at all times and in all lands, old and new, a state of poet. Qian tried to thoroughly the discourse of literature all the time, and he enlarged the horizon of literature criticism. As Qian said, poetry mind and literary mind has become a literature actual appearances of all time. Between Chinese Literature and Western Literature, Qian used in the theory of merging, tried to solve the fundamental problem of Chinese literature and literary theory. Qian’s On the Art of Poetry shows that literary criticism is possible outside of the classical criticism, and it is provided new insight into Qian’s academic achievement.
