390 21 1 The Boundless Sea and other Poetic Images: Ch iu Feng-chia s State of Mind and Hopes While in Mainland China Hsu-Hui Ting Abstract This paper analyzes a group of metaphoric and symbolic images (the boundless sea, Ch iu-jan, Wei-t o, Ts ang-hai Chun and Cheng Yen-p ing ) that occurs repeatedly (69, 27, 34, 5, and 5 times, respectively) in poems written by Ch iu Feng-chia after he left Taiwan for mainland China. Through this analysis, we find that the image of the boundless sea is a metaphor for Taiwan that is indicative of Ch iu s profoundly tragic mood. At the same time, the frequent appearance of these images symbolizes his ideal of establishing Taiwan as an independent island nation. Even though the fact that he never actually attempted to carry out armed revolt meant that his ideals never progressed beyond utopian fantasy, the repeated imagery reveals his strong memories of and feeling of responsibility towards Taiwan and his protest against the lack of concern for Taiwan s fate shown by the Ch ing court. Keywords: Ch iu Feng-chia, Taiwan, boundless sea, Ch iu-jan, poetry * Hsu-Hui Ting is an associate professor at Fooyin University and a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chinese Literature at National Sun Yat-sen University.
