没有完成的文人化——曲学品貌的一个向度

Unfinished Scholarization —A Dimension of Chinese Drama Study

本文从中国传统曲学与诗学、词学比较的角度,通过对曲体(包括散曲和戏曲)创作历史的勾勒,指出自曲学诞生之日起虽然做出了种种向文人文学和诗学靠拢的努力,但由于曲体始终无法割断与民间通俗文艺的联系,以及由其先天特性所决定的对声调格律论和情节趣味的重视,曲学自始至终都极少提出诸如政教功用和精神超越等诗学方面的关键命题,因此,曲学也始终没有完成文人化。

This paper starts with the comparison of traditional Chinese drama and poetics, draws the sketch of the history of drama creation and argues that though the study of Chinese drama has made all kinds of efforts on approaching literature and poetics since its birth, it has not accomplished scholarization all along due to its inseparable connection with folk art and attention to tones, rhythms and plots.
