新诗的“有形”与“无形”——以林庚的诗歌格律探索为中心

“In form” or “Out of form” in Chinese Modern Poetry Department of Chinese Language and Literature

林庚是中国新诗格律探索中最坚韧的跋涉者之一。他从 1931 年以“自由诗”作者的姿态初涉诗坛始,至1935年前后转向“新格律诗”的实践,直至20 世纪 80、90 年代以论文方式继续诗歌格律问题的思考,林庚的诗歌格律探索由形式及本质,突破了以形式划分新诗和旧诗的简单化思路,深入涉及了“诗的内容”、“诗的本质”等诗歌内质问题的探究。同时,他的“九言诗”等创作尝试也在格律实践、融会民歌因素等多个层面上提供了有益的经验,对于今天的诗歌创作、批评、研究不无启发性和现实意义。

Lin geng has kept practicing and thinking about the rhythm of Chinese modern poetry for more than 60 years. He wrote new style poems without rhythm in the early 1930’s, and turned to the “new poem of rhythm” writing in 1935, carried on writing several important articles in 1990’s. Lin geng inquired not only the form but also the essence of the Chinese modern poetry. His creative writing such as “the poems of nine words” achieved a successful integration in the poem writing.
