| Abstract |
Tseng Yong-Yi, Academician - Humanity & Social Science of Academia Sinica, an achieved scholar in traditional Chinese opera, is also a prominent essayist and playwright who is influential not only within the academic community but also in the public. Based on his scholar-writer status, and from the viewpoints of the classical Chinese poetics, the cultural landscape, the verbal definition/ analysis, the nature of lightheartedness and the shaping of life identity, this essay goes through his eight books of essays to study his writing style, leading to a recognition of his social concerns as an intellectual, and the undying ‘scholar as creative writer’ tradition. |
