元散曲发展分期研究述评

On the division of the Yuan Sanqu development

对元散曲发展分期的研究 ,历来是曲论家们最感兴趣的论题之一。其中主要有三种分法 :二分法、三分法和四分法。前二种分法比较流行 ,后一种分法尚未引起足够重视 ,但却在相当程度上反映了元散曲发展的本来面目。

To the traditional opera researchers, the study on the division of the Yuan Sanqu(a type of verse) development, is always one of the most interesting objects. There are three means of the division: dividing into two parts, dividing into three parts and dividing into four parts. The first two are prevalent, but to the last one people doesn't pay enongh attention, though it reflects the development of the Yuan Sanqu to great extents.
