唐代叙事诗繁荣探微

A Probe into the Boom of Narrative Poetry in Tang Dynasty

唐代叙事诗的繁荣实质是乐府诗兴盛的结果,包括李白、杜甫、白居易等大量诗人创作了为数众多的经典乐府叙事诗。在中唐由白居易、元稹提倡,一大批优秀诗人积极参与,形成了乐府诗创作的高潮--新乐府运动。唐代乐府诗作多以反映社会现实的叙事诗为主。唐代诗文对六朝文风的反拨、向汉魏风骨学习的复古文学思潮以及歌行体的完善促进了乐府叙事诗的繁荣。

The boom of narrative poetry in Tang Dynasty is attributable to Yuefu Poetry, representative figures of which are Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and so on. In the middle of Tang Dynasty, Yuefu poetry exponents like Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen actively participated and did their part in the creation of such a style and brought it to its climax of development, which is termed the New Yuefu Movement. The Tang Dynasty narrative poems mainly reflect the realities of the society, and are opposed to the literary style of the Six Dynasties, advocating reinvigoration of poetry style of the Han and Wei Dynasty and perfection of the chanting poetry. The three main reasons make the Tang Dynasty narrative poems flourish.
