杜甫《赠花卿》诗意新说

New Theory on Poetry of a Present to General Hua by Du Fu

本文认为自明代以来形成的以为《赠花卿》是讥讽花敬定僭用天子礼乐的说法是错误的,因为从《赠花卿》一诗本身看,诗中音乐不一定指宫廷的音乐;从花敬定的功与过、他对朝廷的所持的态度及杜甫对他的看法判断,《赠花卿》不当暗含讥讽;从唐代宫廷音乐的状况看,花敬定也不可能使用朝廷礼乐。这种错误认识的产生,源于自宋代以来形成的学术方法和特定的学术背景,源于以史证诗研究方法的错误运用。

This article regards that it is wrong on the opinion which has been popular since the Ming Dynasty that a present to General Hua satirizes Hua Jing Ding of exceeding his responsibility of office and using the ceremonial rites, regulations and music that the Emperor should have used, as by only reading a present to General Hua, the music referred to in the poem may not necessarily refer to the palace music, a present to General Hua is not possible to imply the sarcasm through the judgment of Hua Jing Ding＇ s merits and faults, his attitude to the imperial court, and Du Fu＇s apprehension to Hua Jing Ding. From the inspection to the situation of the palace music in the Tang Dynasty, it was not probable for Hua Jing Diug to use the ceremonial rites, regulations, and music that should have been used by the imperial government. The wrong understanding of this opinion derives form the academic approach and the specific academic background which came into being in the Song and the Yuan dynasties. It comes from the incorrect adoption of the research method of using the history as the proof of a poem.
