再论钟嵘《诗品》名次排序变例

Re-discussion on the irregularities of name order in Zhong Rong's Shipin

钟嵘《诗品》按诗人世代先后排列名次 ,是其正例 ;不按世代先后排列名次 ,是其变例。三品的许多变例与钟嵘判别诗人优劣高低有关 ,由这些变例可以窥见钟嵘对诗人真实的评价。有一种意见认为 ,中下品的变例只是出于《诗品》品评“结构”上的需要 ,与诗人的优劣完全无关。

The name order arranged according to poets' generations in Zhong Rong's Shipin is its regular order and the name order arranged without taking generations into account is its irregular order.Many irregularities of the three grades cannot be separated from Zhong Rong's judging poets' being good or bad,so Zhong Rong's true evaluation on poets can be seen from these irregularities.Some people hold the viewpoint that the irregular order of medium and low grades was to meet the requirement of the structure of the comment on poets in Shipin ,so it had nothing to do with poets' being good or bad.This paper does not agree with such an absolute conclusion.
