再论元诗分期标准及有关问题──兼答门岿先生

Again on the Dividing of the Yuan Poetry

元诗的发展呈现着前衰后兴微妙的变化，而科举的废兴在其中起着重要作用。与此同时，在元代，传统诗歌和以杂剧为主体的戏曲存在着相互冲突、此消彼长的势头。"学宋"、"尊唐"在一定意义上反映了前后期诗歌创作的不同倾向。门岿论文所谓元诗说不上前兴后衰或前衰后兴，发展是处于一种平缓态势的观点是错误的。

Poetry in the Yuan dynasty experienced fall and rise in which imperial examination system plays an important role. Meanwhile, there were conflicts between traditional poetry and traditional operas which maintained poetic dramas as the main body. 'following the Song Poetry' and 'respecting the Tang Poetry' indicated different tendencies at different periods in poetry writing. So MenKui holds the wrong idea that there's no fall and rise in the development of the Yuan dynasty.
