略论竹枝词的诗学传统

The Poetic Tradition of Zhuzhi Ci

诗乐同源的儒家审美标准,在礼乐崩坏的社会环境里,"正乐"的功能实际上一直由诗歌来承担,因此,竹枝词的诗学传统要比声乐传统更具有意义。诗教传统是文人拟作竹枝词的主要动因,历代作品中表现最突出的就是言志传统和乐府传统,而"声诗"的传统则延展了诗歌创作的社交功能和娱乐功能,"声诗"的娱乐功能使得竹枝词这样的传统诗歌在明清以后有转向满足大众文化需求的可能。

Confucian aesthetics holds that poetry and music share the same origin,but the disarray of society leads to the separation of poetry and music,and the function of'purifying music'is actually performed by poetry. The poetic tradition of the folk song zhuzhi ci is more significant than its musical tradition. The main impetus of writing zhuzhi ci is to teach tradition,and poems of ambitions expression and Yue- fu folk poems are the most outstanding ones. Shengshi or the musical poems extend the social and recreational function of poem creation,and the recreational function of Shengshi makes it possible that the traditional poems like zhuzhi ci turn to meet the demand of the mass culture after the Ming and Qing dynasties.
