论“粤三家”词

On Three Ci Poets's Ci in Guangdong

清咸、同至光绪初年,“粤三家”沈世良、汪王泉、叶衍兰是岭南词坛成就最高的词人。他们同受浙西词派影响,但程度不同,词风并不相近。沈世良和汪王泉可归入浙派,但沈词凄楚蕴藉而汪词清虚悠远,汪氏另有不少绮丽之作。至于叶衍兰则词风靡丽,受浙派影响最小,实属常州词派。“粤三家”处于岭南词风由“浙”至“常”的转换期,通过三家之创作可以窥见当时岭南词演进的轨迹。

From Emperor Xianfeng and Emperor Tongzhi to the initial stages of Emperor Guangxu, the three ci poets Shen Shiliang, Wang quan and Ye Yanlan in Guangdong were viewed as the most excellent. Though their works were influenced by Zhen Xi ci school, the styles were different. Shen Shiliang and Wang quan belonged to Zhen Xi Ci School. Shen＇s ci was dismal and significant, and Wang＇s ci was pellucid, Wang also had some beautiful works. Ye＇s style was colorful, and he belonged to Chang Zhou Ci School. They were in the transition period from Zhen Xi Ci School to Chang Zhou Ci School of the style of Lingnan ci, their evolution route of Lingnan ci at that time was discussed through their works.
