能“歌”的诗与“诗”性的歌——中国现代歌诗刍议

"Lyrical" Poems and "Poetic" Songs:A Discussion on Modern Chinese lyric-poems

在中国悠久的诗学传统中,诗与歌长期并称。但自近代文学革命中胡适"尝试"白话诗以来,中国新诗因有意摆脱格律束缚而与歌渐行渐远,诗与歌的剥离也似乎成为中国新诗的一个重要特征。将现代歌诗置于中国新诗视域中,从历史的角度深入考察现代歌诗在中国新诗发展过程中的基本脉络,能更好地展现其丰富多彩的审美空间。

Poems and songs have been synonyms in China＇s long history of poetry. However, since the ＂experiment＂ on free verse in China＇s modern literature revolution, China＇s new poetry features a widening detachment between poems and songs as the new poetry intends to remove the shackle of classical poetic composition such as rhymes and tonal patterns. We hold that more aesthetic dimensions of China＇s modern lyric-poems are perceptible when studied from an in-depth, historical perspective of evolution surrounding China＇s new poetry.
