试论唐五代词雅俗流变的轨迹

Tracing the Evolution of the Ci Poetry from Low Brow to High Brow in the Tang and the Five Dynasties

唐五代词,是探究词体流变必然追溯的重要阶段。从词史发展的角度看,唐五代词从敦煌民间的“曲子词,”到中唐文人的“长短句之诗,”再到花间的“诗客曲子词”、南唐的“士大夫之词,”这一连串概念环环相生的演进,表明词体在原生态时期,经历了一个完整的雅俗流变过程:先天俗质——初始雅化——雅俗并存——去俗从雅。其中,雅与俗的分合消长,成为推进词体衍生、发展的主要驱动力。正是在这一过程中,词完成了由唐至宋的过渡。

The ci poetry in the Tang and the Five Dynasties was an important stage for tracing the evolution of ci poetry. The paper holds that ci poetry emerged from Dunhuang folk songs, went through a number of changes and eventually developed into literati＇s poetry in the Southern Tang. It argues that the interplay between low brow and high brow was the main driving force behind the development of ci poetry.
