元、白对杜甫新题乐府的认识与评价——兼论二人倡导新乐府运动的作用与贡献

Yuan Zhen′s and Bai Juyi′s Understanding and Appraisal of Du Fu′s New Title Yuefu

元稹和白居易对杜甫及其新题乐府的认识与评价,有相似与一致之处,"扬杜抑李"是他们的共同倾向,但也存在着明显差异。白居易重视乐府诗的现实内容与政治服务功能,因此对杜甫新题乐府虽然评价甚高,但明显存在保留;元稹从古今乐府诗歌的发生、发展、变化脉络判断其演变趋势,看到了杜甫新题乐府"即事名篇、无复依傍"的创新性突破及划时代进步意义,这不仅表现其认识评价杜甫新题乐府的高明与深刻之处,同时表明其对新乐府运动具有独特的理论建树,在元、白二人共同倡导新乐府运动过程中,发挥了不可取代的作用。

There are similarities and consistency between Yuan Zhen/s and Bai Juyils understanding and evalu- ation of Du Fu and his New Title Yuefu. Praise of Du Fu and criticism of Li Bai is their common tendency,but there are also significant differences. Bai Juyi stressed its reality content and political services and had a high o- pinion of New Title Yuefu, but had regrets about it. Yuan Zhen determined its evolution trend from the occur- rence,development and change of ancient Yuefu poetry and that of his time and saw its innovative break- throughs and epoch-making significance. This not only shows the sophistication and profoundness of his evalu- ation of Du Fu＇s New Title Yuefu,but also made a unique theoretical contribution to New Yuefu movement. Yuan Zhen played an irreplaceable role in their jointly initiated New Yuefu Movement.
