Abstract

Abstract:

Leading a comfortable life was a popular custom during the Han Dynasty. As a result, "pleasure" became a noticeable word in poems of that period. Those descriptions of life including clothes, food, housing, travel, recreation and sex in the Han poetry all manifested the people's idea of pursuing pleasure. Approximately, such an idea could be divided into two patterns: contented and luxurious. It had a tendency to spread, strengthen and extend, which was also shown in the poetry. From the idea of pursuing pleasure - a new angle of view, we may see a new world in the Han- dynasty poetry.

Key words: hedonist philosophy, the Han poetry, contented - oriented pleasure, luxury - oriented pleasure
