宋诗茶文化语词举例

The Annotations of Some Words of Tea Culture in the Song Poetry

诗歌语言颇接近口语,要构建宋代词汇史,系统地研究宋诗词汇是途径之一。前贤虽有考释宋诗词义之作,而全面、系统之研究,则未见其人。其原因是《全宋诗》结集于上世纪90年代末(由北京大学出版社于1999年出版),其数量又是《全唐诗》的五倍(大约是27万多首),故全面、系统研究宋诗语言一直滞后,《全宋诗》语言研究至今仍是等待开发的处女地。我们二人志同道合,研究《全宋诗》语言有年,有意填补此项空白。然而,这是一项大工程,真正做起来不是很容易,我们的研究工作也仅仅是开始,面临着许多具体困难,需要一个一个去解决。本文从《全宋诗》中选取若干与茶文化相关的语词,并考释其于宋时的意义,算是一项大型研究宋诗语言计划其中一个课题的证验之作。

People of the Song period, either the upper class or the lower class, were fond of drinking tea; hence a unique kind of tea culture and a category of words related to tea culture in the poetry of that era. The literal meanings of this category of words are different from and betray their actual meanings and pose great difficulties for reading the Song poetry.This article on the annotations of some words of tea culture in the Song poetry is a topic to be studied in a large research project on the Quan Song Shi.
