略论初唐应制诗

A General Picture of the Yingzhi Poem of early Tang Dynasty

应制诗通常被认为是无甚可观的诗歌类型。但考察一下从南朝至盛唐诗歌艺术逐步走向鼎盛的发展史,会发现凡是应制诗写作集中出现的时期,基本上也是整个诗坛创作彬彬大盛、诗歌创作技巧有明显进步的时期。初唐应制诗就是这一情形的典型代表。初唐太宗朝、武后朝和中宗朝应制诗因宫廷应制集会的形式和具体创作背景不同而各不相同,主要作品也呈现出不同的具体面貌。

Yingzhi Poem is usually considered to be part of a genre of meaningless poem. However, if you study the history of poem development from South - Dynasty to Sheng - Tang, you will find throughout every period in which the writing of Yingzhi Poem took its place as a center, the whole circle of poetry creation also became prosperous, and the artistic technique of poetry also made obvious progression. The Yingzhi Poem of early - Tang is just the typical representation of this state of affairs. The Yingzhi Poems of different terms of early Tang Dynasty are different because of different forms of palace gatherings and different background of poetry creation.
