炫技、交游与唱和——清词中兴成因新探

Showing off,Making Friends and Chiming in with Others:A New Study on the Revival of Ci Poetry in the Qing Dynasty

关于清词中兴问题,学界前辈时贤多认为其与明清易代的政局相关,特别是与当时勃兴的文字狱关系密切。然而,考察清代文字狱研究史料可知其并未达到如此夸张残酷的地步,不足以直接引发词体文学之复兴。清词中兴应与文人间互相比拼才情、夸饰技艺的风尚有关。中国古典诗歌发展至清代,传统诗歌平仄格律已不能满足文人士子的需要,而格律音韵相对复杂的词则更能显示文人们的才情。由此,清人对词体文学产生了浓厚的兴趣,文学圈内的交流酬唱则直接促成了清代词体文学的复兴。

About the issue of the revival of Ci poetry in Qing dynasty,most academia seniors thought it associated with the political transition from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty, especially closely related to the writing prison. However, by examining the historical materials of the writing prison in the Qing dynasty, it was found to be not so exaggerating or cruel. Hence it might not directly lead to the revival of Ci poetry in the Qing dynasty. Instead, the revival of Ci poetry in the Qing dynasty might be brought on by the fashion of literati competition with each other and exaggerating accom- plishment. When Chinese classical poetry developed up to the Qing dynasty, pingze and rhythm couldn~ t meet the requirements of literati, but Ci poetr^s metrical phonology was relatively complex and could more commendably display the literati~ s artistic talents. Hence the literati in the Qing dy- nasty developed a strong interest in Ci poetry. And The communication and singing in literary circle directly facilitated the revival Ci poetry in the Qing dynasty.
