临桂龙氏父子与晚清词坛

Long Father and Son of Lingui and the Ci Circles of the Late Qing Dynasty

龙启瑞、龙继栋父子在晚清词坛上占有一席之地。启瑞词工于小令,其词善于表达士大夫的闲雅生活,温婉蕴藉,自然清妙。继栋词秉承家学又有所变化,表现为小令与其父风格相似,慢词则将身世之感融入伤春悲秋之中,沉着苍凉;部分词更以气势胜,奇情四溢;善于用典,语言琢炼工致。龙氏父子词能独立于常州词派的牢笼之外,又与晚清临桂词派的形成有着密切的关系。

Long Qirui and and his son Long Jidong held a place in Ci circles of the late Qing Dynasty. Long Qirui was expert at Xiaoling, a type of Ci. His Ci was good at expressing the elegant lives of Scholar-bureaucrat and was euphemistic and natural. The Ci of Long Jidong followed the tradition of his father with some style of his own. His Xiaoling resembled with those by his father. His Manci, another type of ci, grieved over the coming and going of seasons to express the feelings of his life experience. These Ci were depressed and desolate. Part of Long Jidonges Ci were powerful and original. His Ci was good at using al- lusions and embellishing his language. The Ci of Long father and son was inde- pendent from the cover of Changzhou Ci school, and had close relations with the form of Lingui Ci school.
