《诗经》三颂与颂体文学

Three Canticles of The Book of Songs and The Song

《诗经》三颂皆可配乐,《商颂》、《周颂》又因其"主告神"而被奉为《诗经》中颂之正体,《鲁颂》则因其理性因素的加强而被视为《诗经》中颂之变体。前者在后世流衍为乐府中的郊庙歌辞等,后者则为后世与音乐分离而成为纯文本形式的颂体文学所仿效,而后世颂体文学又在名称、体制、内容诸方面和《诗经》三颂有密切联系。

Both The Book of Songs and Three Canticles can be matched with music. Because of the ＂Zhu- gaoshen＂, Canticles of Zhou and Canticles of Shang are treated as the standard canticles in The Book of songs. And Canticles of Lu is regarded as the derivation of The Book of Songs owing to the strengthened rational factors. In the following centuries, Canticles of Zhou and Canticles of Shang become the songs for sacrificing in the folk poetry collection. While Canticles of Lu is imitated by the Song which is separated with music and in the form of plain text. Furthermore, the Song Later have close relationship with the Three Canticles in appellation, system and content.
