白话诗及新诗革命的政治背景

Political Background of Neopoetic Revolution and Free Verse in Vernacular

功能的改变带来文体的改变 ,19世纪末 2 0世纪初中国的政治革命改变了汉语 白 话 诗 及 新 诗 革 命 的 政 治 背 景 诗歌的应试、自娱功能 ,成为革命者“开启民智”的重要工具 ,形式谨严、格律呆板的古代汉诗还被革命者视为保守的象征 ,自然成为革命的对象。清末民初的历史形势及政治背景决定了汉语诗歌的特殊生态 ,使汉语诗歌的文体革命成为政治文化改革的先锋。新诗草创期的生态决定新诗是一个由非诗因素较多的政治及文化激进运动催生出来的“早产儿” ,因此新诗革命具有急功近利性和非诗化的诗体改革的极端性 ,决定了新诗的职能主要是为了政治革命和文化革命服务的 ,从而奠定了新诗的基本形态 :形式上松散自由 。

Change in function results in change in styles.During the late nineteenth century,at the beginning of the twentieth century,the political revolutions in China have changed the forms and functions of Chinese poetry in interview and recreation into vital means to enlighten populance by the revolutionists.The ancient Chinese poetry which is grave in form and in rhythm was once regarded as conservativeness,and naturally became the target of revolution.The historic situation of the late Qing Dynasty and the political background determined the peculiar ecology of Chinese poetry,making pioneers in political and cultural reform out of Chinese poetic style revolution.The ecology of neopoetic revolution decided that neopoetry was doomed to be a premature whose parturition was hastened by more non_poetic politics and culture Radical movement.Thus,neopoetic revolution bears the eagerness of quick success and instant benefit as well as the extremity of non_poetic style reform whose main function is to serve political revolution and cultural revolution,thereby lay the foundation for the basic forms of neopoetry:free and lax in form,monotonous and serious in content.
