王建研究的全新里程碑——读王宗堂先生的《王建诗集校注》

A New Milestone for the Study of WANG Jian——While reading <The Collation and Annotation of the Collection of WANG Jian's Poems> by Mr. WANG Zong-tang

王建是唐代诗苑中一位才情富赡的诗人。其乐府诗与张籍齐名,世称"张王乐府",而百首宫词联章,更是王建首创,被誉为"宫词之祖",对五代以后的宫词创作影响很大。然而长期以来,不仅王建集的校勘笺释工作一直无人问津,而且由于两《唐书》无传,使得王建的生平仕履存在不少疑点。这些问题的存在,使得王建生平及其作品的整理研究与唐代其他著名诗人相比,明显涩后。而王宗堂先生的力作《王建诗集校注》一书的问世,不仅解决了王建研究的诸多缺憾,而且在许多方面将王建研究推向前沿,开创王建研究的全新里程碑。

WANG Jian was a poet full of talent and rich feeling in the poetry field of Tang dynasty. He was as famous as ZHANG Ji in the field of music bureau poems and went by the name of ＇ ZHANG - WANG music bureau poets＇. His writings much affected the creation of the palace poems in the period after the Five Dynasties. However, for a long time the collation and annotation works for his poems are seldom done, furthermore, there arise many questions about him because there is not any biography of him in 〈 The History of Tang Dynasty 〉. Such questions make the study of WANG Jian＇ s life story and writings quite lag behind in comparison with that of other well known poets then. But since the publication of 〈 The Collation and Annotation of the Collection of WANG Jian＇ s Poems 〉 by Mr. WANG Zong - tang, not only the questions mentioned above are solved, but the study works about WANG Jian also are pushed to the front in many respects and a new milestone is opened.
