鼓子词与话本是“说唱”的吗?

Can Guzici and Huaben Be Classified as 'Talking and Singing'?

长期以来,学术界普遍认为鼓子词与话本都是有说有唱的说唱文学,而主要依据就是《元微之崔莺莺商调.蝶恋花》与《刎颈鸳鸯会》两篇作品。然而,这两篇作品是"合并而成"的,因此无论是从鼓子词与话本本身看,抑或是从众多的与之相关的文字记载看,鼓子词都是只唱不说的,而话本则都是只说不唱的。如果要笼统地说鼓子词与话本是说唱文学是可以的,但要说它们都是有说有唱的说唱文学,却是错误的。

For a long time, Guzici and Huaben are generally considered as talking and singing literature by academic community. And the main basis are ＂Yuan Weizhi Cui Yingying Shang Melody. Die Lian Hua＂ and ＂Wen Jing Yuan Yang Hui＂ which are both combined by two different works. So either from Guzici and Huaben itself or from other related written records, Guzici is only singing but no talking while Huaben is only talking but no singing. It is right to classify Guzici and Huaben as talking and singing literature, but it is wrong to consider them as talking and singing literature with both talking and singing.
