“正始之音”究竟能否指“正始诗歌”?

On the Equation of Voice of Zhengshi with the Poetry of Zhengshi

"正始之音"一词含义甚丰、用法多样,其本义、引申义和比喻义皆不止一端;"正始之音"可以用来表达"魏晋玄学清谈"、"雅正的诗乐传统"等含义;在文学史上,"正始之音"可以用来指"正始诗歌",属于它的引申义之一,但是这一含义并非古已有之,而是有一个"渐进"的历史过程,又需辨其源流。

When people talk about＂the Voice of Zhengshi＂, they may refer to its original meaning, extended meaning or its analogy meaning. ＂The Voice of Zhengshi＂ is very rich in its meaning and usage, and its meaning is varied in different contexts. For example, ＂the Voice of Zhengshi＂ could be used to mean the empty talk about mysterious knowledge in Wei-Jin or the elegant and dignified traditions of ancient poetry and music. Sometimes in the history of Chinese literature, people say＂ the Voice of Zhengshi＂ instead of the poetry of Zhengshi, obviously it is also an extended meaning which is gradually formed by degrees. But, could＂ the Voice of Zhengshi＂ equate with the poetry of Zhengshi？ When and in what circumstances is it first used？ The author of this paper thinks it is very important to find out the truth.
