论《宋诗精华录》的编选宗旨与诗学思想

On principles of compilation and thoughts of poetic in Selection of the Song Poems

陈衍晚年编选《宋诗精华录》,鼓吹、宣传宋诗,表达其宗宋而不抑唐的诗学观,为同光体诗人乃至清初以来的宋诗派作了理论总结,也为后来读者阅读宋诗提供了一个高质量的范本。该书的评语与圈点,体现了较为丰富而积极的诗学思想:第一,注重避熟避俗,主张生新求变。第二,推崇吐属大方,感情真挚,不搬弄技巧的诗。第三,提倡论诗亦如乐,须音律协畅,方是好诗。但编者却相对忽略了诸如理、禅及以文为诗这些原本属于宋诗特色的内容。

In his old age,Chen Yan compiled Selection of the Song Poems which advocated and propagated Song poems,expressing his poetic tenet of taking Song poems as the model but not suppressing Tang poems,providing the theoretical summary for the school of Song poems from the early year of the Qing dynasty to the time of Tong Guang and offering a highly qualified collection of the poems for the readers.The comments and marks and dots in this book embodied the rich and optimistic poetic thoughts.Firstly,it emphasized evading the popular and the vulgar and advocated to initiate and change.Secondly,it praised highly of the tasteful,sincere and plain poems.Thirdly,it recommended the principle of good poems similar to the harmonious melody.But Chen Yan comparatively neglected such contents as the Li（Confucianism）,Chan（Buddhism） and turned prose to poem which were originally the features of Song poems.
