초록

This paper attempted to analyze love poetry in China and investigate the concept of love in ancient China, the main themes of love poetry, and the typicality and emotions of love poetry by period. For this, a representative poems were selected and a topic modeling study was conducted by analyzing the TF-IDF index.
Topic modeling is a statistical model for identifying the subject of a particular text. TF-IDF is a method of approaching the subject of poetry by analyzing the frequency of poetic words. Since there are no separate documents collected only from ancient Chinese love poems, this paper selected 164 love poems several documents by period and made separate documents for TF index analysis. The documents for IDF index analysis were made into 942 poems contained in three documents containing about 300 poems by period. For these poems, I secured a list of the top 50 TF-IDF indices for topic modeling.
In ancient China, love is a concept closely related to the social system of marriage. Therefore, it is difficult to explain with modern love theory that values only the emotional aspect. As the theme of ancient Chinese love poems shifted from Pre-Chin(先秦) to Tang(唐) Dynasty, the theme of ‘breakup’ was strengthened rather than ‘passionate love’. Overall, ‘思’ which means ‘missing’, was found to represent the characteristic aspect of ancient Chinese love poetry. Sub-topics of love poetry include ‘Breakup’ and ‘Worry’. This is not because the concept of love has changed, but rather because the perception that love poetry should also be the result of intellectual actions has become stronger.
The typicality of love poetry of each period was explored by dividing 164 love poems by period and examining the TF-IDF index. Pre-Chin’s love poems are characterized by many works that sing pure love, and female speakers are the mainstream. Although women appear as the main characters in the love poems of Han-Wei and Six Dynasties, it is evaluated that indirectness or figurativeity has increased in that most of the poets were men. The breakup quickly emerged as a major theme and the description became more delicate. In love poetry of the time, the ingredient of resentment was strengthened, and the theme of betrayal was often mentioned. It is also noteworthy that ‘tears’ was frequently used.
Among the top 50 words in the TF-IDF index, those that do not overlap with each period were analyzed to see how the expression representing the emotions of love poetry changed. As a result, the role of ‘heartache(傷)’ in the Pre-Chin, ‘worry(憂)’ in the Han-Wei and Six Dynasties, and ‘resentment(恨)’ in Tang dynasty stood out. Pre-Chin’s love poems often expressed heartbreaking emotions that he/she could not be with his/her beloved. The love poems of Han-Wei and Six Dynasties dealt with the worries of the wife or husband who were engaged in staying alone due to separation or bereavement. The love poems of the Tang dynasty have been embodied several times in which they resent and lament the situation in which love is difficult to achieve amicably.
