Discourse under Crisis：Introduction and Shijing 詩経

This study, intended to be published as a series of papers, explores “Discourse under Crisis” in Chinese classical literature. This paper provides an introduction to “Discourse under Crisis” and discusses it in the context of Shijing 詩経.
　“Discourse under Crisis,” within the context of this study, refers to verses and proses produced or utterances spoken under situations of crisis. The subject of discourse, that is, authors of proses and verses or speakers, cannot avoid these situations since they are not given the option to refuse to participate in them.
　The introduction presents the method and framework of reading the discourse in this study through analyzing Confucius’ utterances and Du Fu 杜甫’s poems under their respective situations of crisis.
　In the context of Shijing, this paper classifies songs as follows: songs related to “prison litigation (trial, court),” songs in an environment of “repression and oppression,” songs in “crisis of life,” and songs when exposed to “language of violence” such as calumny; it also discusses various aspects and characteristics of songs as “Discourse under Crisis.”
