The Local Complex and Spatial Identity in Cao Xuequan's Travel Poems
Cao Xuequan,a prominent figure of the Min Poetry School during the late Ming Dynasty,em-barked on a journey north for an imperial examination in his youth and subsequently served as an official in the capital.His official duties led him to travel extensively to regions such as Wuyue,Bashu,Guangdong,and be-yond,spanning two capitals and eleven provinces.The compilation of his poetry and literary works,"Complete Works of Shicang,"serves as a poignant reflection of his passion for travel and rich life experiences.The con-cept of"local"not only offers an aesthetic lens through which to view Cao Xuequan's poetic endeavors but also acts as an emotional vessel during his journeys,unveiling his profound attachment to his homeland,his yearning for the imperial capital,and his pursuit of the poetic essence of Jiangnan.This attachment and yearning gradual-ly evolved into Cao Xuequan's distinctive"local complex,"giving rise to a profound emotional connection to specific locales.
