论初唐骈体诗序的艺术成就及其缺陷

On the Artistic Achievements and Defects of Poetical Prefaces in the Early Tang Literary Style

初唐诗序以四杰与陈子昂为代表,将六朝以来的骈体诗序推向了艺术高峰,取得了很高的艺术成就。主要表现为:写景整饬流丽、境界开阔;刻画人物肆意铺排、神采飞扬;大量抒发人生感慨,富于文人气息;注重文气,骈偶中融贯散文的流畅自然;诗文交融,使文序具有诗的意境。当然,也存在一些重大的缺陷,如"序重诗轻"、格式雷同、用典僵化等,成为骈体诗序继续发展的障碍。

The poetical prefaces in the early Tang dynasty mark the peak of the literary genre started in the Six Dynasties, as is demonstrated by the works of Chen Zi＇ang and other talented poets in the early Tang Dynasty. These works are featured with elegance, loftiness and vividness, full of scholarly integrity and the fluency of prose. However, they have some defects： ＂unbalance of the poem and the preface＂, sameness in format and using rigidity in quotations.
