论汉语诗歌语言的音乐性(上)——新诗音律研究

On Musicality of Chinese Poetic Language ( Part One)——tudy on Melody of New Poetry

这篇长文写于1980年夏秋季,即23岁时,当时我在成都大学中文系的学习即将结束。此文后来一直放在那里,未刊。时隔三十多年,今天看来,这篇东西还是有其意义的:旧体诗词的格律被打破以后,汉语诗歌的音乐性传统如何在新诗中重新得到发扬?这远不仅仅是关乎诗歌的问题,也不仅仅是关乎汉语的问题,而且是关乎民族文化传统的现代转化问题。如果我们今天已经不能"原教旨主义"式地照搬中国古代文化的某些具体形式,那么,我们的民族文化传统精神如何才能得到弘扬?本文对汉语诗歌的音乐性及其在现代新诗中的体现形式的探索,可以说是为这方面的探索提供了一个具体例证。现在把它整理出来,一仍其旧,以存原貌;只是加上了全文的副标题"新诗音律研究"及各节的小标题。

This long essay was written in the summer and autumn in 1980,when I was 23 years old,and was going to graduate from Department of Chinese Language of Chengdu University.This paper was later placed there,unpublished.After a lapse of 30 years,it still has its significance,that is,how can the musical tradition of Chinese poetry be carried forward again in new verse since the rules and forms of old poetry were broken? This is not an issue only concerned with poetry,nor an issue just related to the Chinese,but issue about the modern transformation of traditional national culture.If we could not copy the specific forms of ancient Chinese culture in a 'fundamentalist' way today,then,how could the traditional spirit of our national culture get carried forward? The exploration of the musicality of Chinese poetry and the form of its manifestation in modern poetry in this paper can be said as a specific example.Now it is before you,remains original and in its old appearance,and simply added with the subtitle 'Study on Melody of New Poetry',and the subheadings as well.
