亦诗亦词话《竹枝》

Zhuzhi are both poems and ci

《竹枝》原是巴歈民歌,经刘禹锡改造后盛传于晚唐五代,并成为教坊曲,演化为词牌名。《花间集》《尊前集》《全唐五代词》均收《竹枝》;《词律》、《词谱》开卷即见《竹枝》。但《全宋词》不收《竹枝》,苏轼、黄庭坚等人《竹枝》歌词不见于各自词集,而见于相关诗文别集中。然其创作经过,表现手法,演唱特点等又近“于曲子词”,故今人重编苏、黄等人词集时,不妨也收《竹枝》歌词,这有助于从音乐角度鉴赏作品。《竹枝》是诗也是词,无论编入诗集或词集,均不影响作品自身的美学价值。

Zhuzhi originally was folk songs in what is now Sichuan Province. They were popular in the late Tang dynasty after being revised by Liu Yuxi, and became the fiao Fang Tune, evolved for the Ci Pal Ming. Zhuzhi existed in Hua Jian Ji, Zun Qian Ji and Quantang Wudai Ci. The Ci Lv and Ci Pu are beginning with Zhuzhi, but they were not existing in Quan Song Ci, and Su Shi＇s and Huang Tingjian＇s Zhuzhi were not existing in their own ci collection, while in their related poem collections. However the creation process, the expression means, singing characteristic and so on of Zhuzhici are similar to ＂tune ci＂, so the author believes that when people of our time reconstitution Su＇s and Huang＇s ci collection, they might collect the lyrics of Zhuzhi, which is helpful to appreciate it from musical perspective. Zhuzhi are both poems and ci. It will not affect their own esthetics value, no matter we put them into poem collections or ci collections.
