诗骚与“文言”

Shi Sao and Classical Chinese

在先秦,文言不但发生在散文领域,亦发生在诗歌领域。《诗经》中的作品均经过文言,在组句上采用复叠手法是《诗经》文言上的一大特点。《楚辞》中的作品有更鲜明的文言特征,句式上的对偶和辞藻上的求丽是《楚辞》文言上的两大特点。《诗经》、《楚辞》,尤其是后者,对后世之文言有深远的影响。

In pre-Qin,classical Chinese was not only in the field of prose but also in the field of poem.The works in《shi jing》and Chu Ci had distinctive characteristics of classical Chinese.Both the two had deep influence on classical Chinese of later times.
