臧克家:现实主义与中国风格

ZANG Ke-jia: Realism and Chinese Style

臧克家是中国现实主义新诗的开山人之一。他从两个方面继承和发展了新诗的现实主义传统。其一,他推进了新诗对旧中国农民和农村的吟唱,在他之前,还没有一位诗人能够如此成功地抒写农民和农村。其二,他推进了中国现代叙事诗的建设,他的叙事诗是诗人内心世界与外在世界的交融。臧克家是一位中国韵味十足的诗人。他有意识地向中国古典诗歌汲取养分,予以现代化改造,铸造自己作品的中国风格。他的诗具有含蓄蕴藉的抒情方式,重"藏",诗在诗外,笔有藏锋;他的诗运用素朴精炼的言说方式,精炼,而又大巧若朴;他的诗追求谐和悦耳的音乐方式,"敲声音",是臧克家炼字的标准之一,他寻觅着音节和谐,铿锵动人,增加读者听觉上的美感。在新诗发展史上,像臧克家这样深刻的具有中国风格的现实主义诗人实在很少,值得学术界深入研究。
