≪唐宋八大家文鈔≫를 통해 본 王安石 墓誌銘 고찰

초록

This study analyzes the muzhiming (funerary inscriptions) of Wang Anshi, a prominent Song-dynasty writer, in order to clarify the narrative principles and stylistic features that define their literary and ideological significance. Wang Anshi regarded muzhiming as public records, emphasizing factual accuracy, formal structure, and moral instruction, while rejecting emotional embellishment and private requests. He departed from the conventional chronological arrangement to focus on the subject’s spirit and ideas, employing xujing (虛景) to convey emotion with restraint and depth. Moreover, his muzhiming exhibit a critical and discursive character that reflects on the social systems and moral values of his time. This analysis demonstrates that Wang Anshi’s muzhiming transcend simple commemorative writing, emerging as complex texts that combine factual record with philosophical reflection and offering an important example of the transformation of Song-dynasty prose.
