《文苑英华》对南朝艳诗的收录:态度、特征及影响

Inclusion of the Southern Dynasty Amorous Poetry in Wen Yuan Ying Hua:Attitude, Feature and Influence

南朝艳诗尤其是宫体诗历来多遭批判,而旨在发挥文教功能的官修总集《文苑英华》却收录了不少南朝艳诗,这说明宋初从官方层面接受了艳诗,但《文苑英华》并未旗帜鲜明地肯定艳诗地位,而是通过筛选宫体诗、改变诗歌类型等方式淡化艳诗色彩。这体现出宋初文臣对艳诗的谨慎态度,他们虽接纳艳诗但不主张艳诗以艳诗面目发挥教化功能。在艳诗题材向词体转移的背景下,宋初文臣的这种态度使得《文苑英华》收录艳诗未发挥范本作用,对艳诗的发展起不到实质性推动作用。

Although amorous poetry, especially the court-style poetry of the Southern Dynasty had always been criticized, the authorized literary collection of Hua included quite a few of such poems, which implied that the authorities of the early Song Dynasty had unpublicly accepted amorous poetry by selection and change of genre. The attitude to amorous poetry was meticulous and they thought it was not fit for teaching in the form of amorous poetry. In the background of the theme that shifted from amorous poetry to Ci, this attitude on the inclusion of amorous poetry in limited its effect of example and exerted no esssential influence on promotion.
