诗史与叙事:论明末清初诗史观的自觉

Epic and Narrative:On the Late Ming and Early Qing Poets' Conscious Outlook on Poetic History

明末清初是中国古代叙事诗创作的高峰,而叙事诗的兴起与明末清初"诗史观"的自觉有重要关系。正是诗人对"诗史"自觉的体认,历史意识的增强,以诗史思维贯穿诗歌创作,"诗史"创作才成为诗坛主流风尚。自觉的诗史观源自史家之笔与诗人之诗的联合,被称作"诗史"的诗人一般都具有史家的身份。"诗史相通"的观念也成为诗人的共识,他们多采用"诗序结合"、"以人存史"的纪史方式来加强诗歌叙事功能。诗史观的自觉对清诗"叙事性"特色的形成起到了重要作用。

The late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties saw the peak of ancient Chinese epic,and the boom of epic was closely related to the poets＇ conscious outlook on epic.The poets consciously realized the importance of epic,and expressed their historical points through poetry writing,epic becoming the mainstream fashion of poetic circles at that time.Epic-consciousness probably originated from the combination of the pen of the historian and the poem of the poet,and played an important role as to the formation of the narrative characteristic of Qing poetry.
