明代文人曲学“尊元”现象考论

A Study of Esteeming Yuan Qu In the Ming Dynasty

元代的曲家已形成对元曲成就的自我推尊,明初曲家在承袭元人推尊模式的同时,呈现出粗线条式尊奉元曲的面貌;到嘉靖——万历时期,曲学家改变了明初以来的"尊元"思维套路和格局,呈现出理性化及论争活跃的态势。同时,文辞、音律所代表的艺术性要素在戏曲审美构成中也占据核心位置,反映出明代文人曲家对元曲成就以及戏曲文体认识的深化与内化,并最终成为明人曲学建构的重要成就。

The Yuan Qu writters have formed a high self esteem.In the early Ming Dynasty,the Qu Litterateurs inherit the appraising mode from the Yuan Qu writters with a broad-brush and empty research of the Qu aesthetics.Till to the Qu Litterateurs of the JiaJing——WanLi time,they change the old mentality and mode of appraising the Yuan Qu into a new detailed and classical method.The new change brings an obvious rational theory construction of the Qu aesthetics during the JiaJing——WanLi time.In this construction,the artistic factors as literary grace and music regulation have taken the core roles in the Qu aesthetics system,that reflects a deeper realize to the Yuan Qu and the Qu literature the literati have.
