As the illness experiences are irreplaceable and the disease poems expressing clear self-image of the poet, we attempt to explore the unique illness experiences to uncover the lyrical self＇ in Du Fu＇s poems. The perception of the world of the poets suffering from illness would be different from the past while they were healthy, and thus they were experiencing a new sense of ＂space＂ through replacing the ordinary sense of space. This paper is divided into three parts： the first part is to interpret the new sense of space that is exhibiting features of anxiety caused by the state of imprisoned and the lost of mobility in life that is experienced by Du Fu＇s while he was sick. The second part of this study attempts to switch the perspective of Du Fu＇s disease poems that constructed a new sense of space by the action of＂ascending＂ in order to inspect whether the patient was able to overcome his anxiety while standing on a higher plane. The third part of this paper is to study the posture of＂lying＂, examining Du Fu expression of space while suffering from illness and had to stay at a lower position, and his perception of the space while suffering from chronic illness.展开更多
