《长生殿》与李白的《清平调》

The Palace of Eternal Youth and LI Bai＇s Qing Ping Verse

有些专家学者提出李白的《清平调词》三首为伪作，但《长生殿》作者洪昇本人并不持这种看法，他确认《清平调词》三首为李白作品，并在剧中一而再、再而三地予以了证明。如果他认为是伪作，肯定一笔不提了。《长生殿》从头开始，到第二十九出《闻铃》为止，基本上都有史实文献作为依据。后续部分戏不够,“神化凑”，说成是浪漫主义手法亦无不可。

A few scholars suggest that Qing Ping Verse was not written by LI Bai, but HONG Sheng, the author of The Palace of Eternal Youth, considered it otherwise, believing it was LI Bai that had written the three poems of Qing Ping Verse. Not once had HONG Sheng tried to justify his idea in the play. Hence, he would not have mentioned any word of it if he had doubted LI Bai＇s authorship. The Palace of Eternal Youth is based on historic facts from the beginning of the play to scene 29, Listening to ttze Bell.s. The play does not exhibit much emotion in the latter part, therefore, the part, ＂Help from goddesses ＂, may be called romantic.
