Seo Chung-kyung - Joteikei

A Chinese poet from the mid-Ming period. His pen name was Changgu. He was from Suzhou (Jiangsu Province). He was a Jinshi (official scholar) in 1505 (18th year of the Hongzhi era). He was a doctor of state. He liked Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, and enjoyed the erotic poetry of the Six Dynasties. He was called one of the Four Talented Poets of the Wuzhong Dynasty along with Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin, and Wen Zhengming. Later, he became acquainted with Li Mengyang and He Jingming in Beijing, and began to study the Han, Wei, and Tang dynasties. He was the only one from Jiangnan among the Former Seven Sons who advocated restoration, but he died at just 33 years old, and his talent was greatly missed. His works include "Di Gong Collection" and "Danyilu," the latter of which was loved by the Qing Dynasty poet Wang Yuyang (Shi Zhen) as a refreshing treatise on poetry. His biography is recorded in the "Ming History," Wenyuan Biography 2.

中国、明(みん)中期の詩人。字(あざな)は昌穀(しょうこく)。蘇州(そしゅう)（江蘇省）の人。1505年（弘治18）の進士。官は国子博士。詩は白居易(はくきょい)、劉禹錫(りゅううしゃく)を好み、六朝(りくちょう)の艶詩(えんし)を喜び、祝允明(しゅくいんめい)、唐寅(とういん)、文徴明(ぶんちょうめい)とともに呉中四才子と称された。のち北京(ペキン)で李夢陽(りぼうよう)、何景明(かけいめい)らと交わって、漢魏(ぎ)盛唐を学ぶようになった。復古を唱えた前七子(ぜんしちし)のなかでは唯一の江南出身者であるが、わずか33歳で死に、その才華を惜しまれた。著に『廸功(てきこう)集』『談芸録』があり、後者は清新な詩論として、清(しん)の詩人王漁洋（士禎(してい)）に愛された。伝は『明史』文苑(ぶんえん)伝2に記される。
