 note = {紀要論文, In Natsume Soseki’s novel Gubijinsou, the word “Piaomiao” has been used twice in describing the main character Kouno’s ideal world.
“ Piaomiao” is a word originated from Chinese Classics with the meaning of“ high, distant and faint” and has been connected to the thought of Immortals afterwards. This word is not only used in Gubijinsou, but is also being used intentionally in other Soseki’s works. Therefore, this word is considered to be used to describe the world which is distant from the reality world.
And then we turn an eye on Soseki’s another novel Kusamakura. Although Nagoi, the locale in Kusamakura, has many similarities with the fairyland in the novels of the Six Dynasties, it is not a real fairyland since it does not contain the essence of a fairyland. Furthermore, fairyland-like Nagoi and Kouno’s “Piaomiao” ideal world have the same“ vague” image in common, which is considered to be the characteristic of Soseki’s fairyland in his works.
The “vague” image of his fairyland shows the conflict in the intellectuals who tried but failed to escape from the painful reality world. And his fairyland is only a temporary comfort for the intellectuals, including Soseki himself, who suffer from the collision of Modernization in Meiji Period.},
