Bunka Shureishu - Bunka Shureishu

This is an imperially commissioned anthology of Chinese poetry and prose from the early Heian period. It was compiled and compiled in 818 (Kōnin 9) by King Nakao, Sugawara no Kiyokimi, Isayama no Fumitsugu, and Shigeno no Sadanushi. It uses a novel method of classifying the poems into 11 sections: pleasure trips, banquets, farewell gifts, gifts, historical poems, reminiscences, erotic sentiments, music, Buddhist poetry, sorrows, and miscellaneous poems. As it is an imperial anthology, it contains many poems that were submitted to the Emperor (poems submitted at the Emperor's command) or to the Emperor's will (poems submitted to the Emperor with rhymes), and there is a large proportion of seven-line poems (47 five-line poems and 96 seven-line poems), as well as long poems similar to fu. It includes 26 poets and 148 poems (though only 143 exist). Many of the poems included in the collection include Emperor Saga with 34 poems, Kose no Shikihito with 20, and King Nakao with 13, but it is noteworthy that Kayano Toyotoshi, who had 13 poems included in the Ryōunshū, did not have a single poem included in the collection.

平安前期の勅撰(ちょくせん)漢詩文集。818年（弘仁9）仲雄王(なかおおう)、菅原清公(すがわらのきよきみ)、勇山文継(いさやまのふみつぐ)、滋野貞主(しげののさだぬし)らによって編纂(へんさん)撰進された。詩を分類するのに、遊覧、宴集、餞別(せんべつ)、贈答、詠史、述懐、艶情、楽府(がふ)、梵門(ぼんもん)、哀傷、雑詠の11の部立てを立てるという斬新(ざんしん)な方法を用いている。勅撰集であるため応製（天皇の命によって詠進した詩）、奉和（天皇の詩に韻をあわせて奉ったもの）の詩が多く、また五言詩が47首、七言詩が96首と七言詩の比重が大きくなっており、ほかに賦(ふ)に近い長編の詩がとられている。所載詩人26人、詩数148首（ただし現存本は143首）。嵯峨(さが)天皇34首、巨勢識人(こせのしきひと)20首、仲雄王13首などが多数の入集(にっしゅう)者であるが、『凌雲集(りょううんしゅう)』に13首とられていた賀陽豊年(かやのとよとし)が一首も入集していないのが注目される。
