潘阆的词论及其词作评议

Equitable Comments on PAN Lang's Statement on Ci and His Work of Ci Poems

潘阆是宋初一位著名的文学家,但今人对其研究不多。其《逍遥词附记》提出了突破前人路径、以词代诗的文体观,促使词由“酒席文学”向“言志文学”过渡,并将诗学理论用于词的创作与品评,有利于词体地位的提高。其词作打破了唐五代以来以抒情为主、以“闺阁”、“画堂”为描述对象的传统,长于纪实和叙事,代之山水风光,进而由“阴柔美”向“阳刚美”过渡,其词风“句法清古,语带烟霞”,为豪放词之初萌。

PAN Lang was a prominent literati in the early Northern SONG Dynasty, but there have been fewer researches on him presently. His work ＂Attached Notes on Unfettered Ci＂ puts forward a view on the literature style, that is, to break through the way cherished by our forbearers to replace the poems with Ci, and to precipitate Ci to change from ＂banquet literature＂ to ＂expressing ambition literature＂. At the same tine, he applied the poetic theory to Ci composition and appreciation, which won advantages to enhance the Ci position. PAN Lang＇s work of Ci broke through the main trend of composing lyric poetry that had prevailed for five generations in the TANG Dynasty and the tradition of describing as the targets the ＂boudoir＂ and ＂brilliant courts＂. His work was skilled in keeping a record of events and narrating the happenings together with praising the mountain and water sceneries, which transferred the ＂feminine beauty＂ to ＂masculine handsome＂. His works of Ci was ＂antique in syntax＂ and ＂mist and cloud in the twilight in tones＂, and was a shoot forth of the bold and unconstrained Ci poems that later emerged.
