“歌尽桃花扇底风”新释

A New Interpretation of “Ge Jin Tao Hua Shan Di Feng”

"歌尽桃花扇底风"写的是美妙歌声在赏歌听众群体中生成的审美效果,即"清凉"的入神化境。依此而论,句中所写的持扇者不是歌者,而是听众。此种写法为以"客笔"表现"主意"法。这个判断需从古代大量相关的诗词文等典籍的记载及晏几道本人的作品中加以印证。正确诠释此句词的准确意义,有助于认识晏几道词的部分审美特征。

The verse of ＂Ge Jin Tao Hua Shan Di Feng＂, or ＂the melody fades with the gentle breeze generated by the peach-blossoms fan＂, depicts the aesthetic effect caused by the melodious songs on the audience, that is, the ecstatic state of being ＂refreshing＂ . Judging from this perspective, the fan holder depicted in this verse is the audience rather than the singer. This writing style aims at expressing subjective feelings by depicting the objective ones, which need to be con- firmed by massive other relative records of Chinese ancient songs, poems, ci-poems, and the works by Yah Jidao himself. The correct interpretation of the meaning of this line is conducive to the appreciation of part of the aesthetic features of Yah Jidao＇s ci-poems.
