Two Carriages in the Same Direction: On Dilemma and Revelations of Modern Poetry and Lyrics Development

古代诗歌分为可以入乐歌唱的诗和单纯作为阅读获取审美愉悦的诗这两种基本形式。歌词本是可以歌唱的诗,然而现代化以来,歌词和诗歌逐渐分离,这种分离非但没有在很大程度上提升各自的独立价值,反而为各自的发展带来困境。如何解决这种困境成为了当今文学界和艺术界共同面临的难题。在探索两者的关系和特色的过程中可以看出,歌词和现代诗并不是势同水火的剑拔弩张,而是可以并行不悖的共同发展。

Based on analysis of the relationship between them their own characteristics, this essay holds that modern poetry and lyrics are not mutually exclusive but complementary to each other and can develop together.
