近体诗声律的“镜像”效果及声律的本质特征

The Mirror Effect of Chinese Regulated Verse and the Nature of the Tonal Patterns

美国著名汉学家高友工在《中国律诗美学》一文中提出了"镜像"效果说,这对于重新理解传统的近体诗声律,提供了一个形象生动的西方批评式解释,因而对于美国当代的汉学研究产生了影响。但是高友工发现了一面镜子,却没有找出是谁放置了这面镜子,所以"镜像"论并没有揭示出声律的本质特性。中国的声律实际上体现了道的演化,它表现了律诗平仄的内在运动。

Yu-Kung Kao, a famous sinologist in American, discovered a mirror effect on tonal patterns of Chinese regulated verse, which provided a new perspective to understand the tonal patterns, and gave an important influence on contemporary American sinology. However, although Yu-Kung Kao found a mirror, he could not find out the man who placed it. So the mirror effect theory has not been diseov-ered the nature of the tonal patterns. The tonal patterns, in fact, emboy the evolution of Tao, and it is formed by inner force of tones movement.
