《诗经》的音响世界

The Sound World of Book of Songs

“诗富于声”是《诗经》的重要艺术特征。《诗经》音响的形态有自然之声、生活之声、音乐之声;其音响意象由于“比兴”手法而具有怀人、相会、求偶、礼贤、出嫁、归宁等话语蕴藉。《诗经》的繁复音响肇端于西周春秋时代隆盛的礼乐文化和人们表现生命体验时的模仿冲动,其音响赋予了诗经绘形绘声的意象美、时空合一的动态《》美、复沓回环的节奏美。

The fact that “poem lies in the sound”is the important artistic feature of Book of Songs. The sound form of Book of Songs includes the sound of nature, the sound of life, the sound of music. Its sound images contain such conversational temperance and refinedness as cherishing the memory of relatives and friends, meeting each other, seeking a spouse, treating worthy men with courtesy, getting married and visiting married women's parents and so on. The complicated sound of Book of Songs originated from thriving ritual music culture of the Spring and Autumn Period in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the imitation impulse when people expressed their personal life experiences. Its sound furnishes Book of Songs with lively imagery beauty, dynamic beauty combining the time and space and rhythmic beauty with repeated echoes.
