英华乍起的诗体──初盛唐七律论略

Peotry of A Galaxy of Talents －On Qilü Poems in Early and Mid Tang Dynasty

七言律诗是由以杜审言、沈期等人为代表的一个文学家群体完成的。七言律诗在“盛唐诸公”的手里得到初步发展。他们的创作在艺术上表现为注重锤锻字句、构思和特定情境，使诗歌从古体诗的直陈其意、达情务尽转向近体诗的含蓄凝炼、思致工巧；还表现为由应酬向抒情转变，以清新自然的艺术风格取代了典丽雍客的态貌。在题材领域，李颀的释梵类七律，既具备文学的意象美，又具备哲学的思辨性，尤其值得称道。

Qilu poems were brought to the literary stage by a group of highly accomplished scholars, with Du Shenyan and Shen Quanqi as their representative figures. Qilu poems embraced a prelimiary development in the hands of 'scholars of Mid Tang Dynasty', who attached a special importance to the diction, conception and the particular context of poems. As a result, poems were no longer straightforward and obvious as seen in ancient style poetry, and were transfered to the selfcontaining and exquist 'modern' style poetry. In this period of time, Qilu poems cast of the courtesy purposes and became an outlet of the poets' true feeling. The former over-elaborating style was also replaced by a simple and natural style. As for the subject matter, Liqi's Buddhist Qilu poems were the best examples displaying both artistic glory and philosophical depth, thus contributed a great literary value to Qilu poems.
