“诗可以群”与律诗定型

“Poems Make a Sociable Person”and the Stereotype of Chinese Metrical Verse

"诗可以群"作为儒家诗教的四大功能之一,其所具有的"群居相切磋"的社会功能不断推动我国古典诗歌艺术的发展。"事君"的需要,促使律诗从古体诗中一步步分离出来并逐渐形成了律诗特有的创作规则和表现形式。特别是在初唐时期,在皇帝的大力扶持与文人学士的频繁唱和中,"诗可以群"在规模、范围、层次等方面都得到了快速的扩大,诗艺也不断提高,促进了律诗在理论与实践上的快速发展,最终实现了律诗的定型。

＂Poems Make a Sociable Person＂, as one of the traditional Confucian ＂four functions of poems＂, had greatly promoted the development of China＇ s classical poetic art by its function of ＂gathering people to exchange views on poems＂. The need to ＂serve the emperor＂ helped Chinese metrical verse to deviate from the archaic poems and gradually had its unique writing rules and forms of expression. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, with the strong support of the emperor and the vigorous responsory from scholars and literati, ＂Poems Make a Sociable Person＂ developed fast in size, scope, level and the art of poetry kept improving, which resulted in theoretical and practical development of metrical verse and its stereotype.
