螃蟹诗词的文化景象

On the Cultural Phenomenon of Crab Poems

诗而专题咏蟹,始于唐,之后历代相继,延绵至清,丰富多彩,蔚为大观,成了咏物诗领域里的后起之秀,许许多多名篇名句为人称赏并传诵不已。这类特定题材的诗词散曲,有其自身的历史轨迹、独有的社会价值和艺术特色;此外,还有引人注意的可以称作为蟹句的现象,也是一份宝贵的文化遗产,值得继承和发扬。

Crab-eulogizing poems originated from the Tang Dynasty and this way of literary writing continued in the successive dynasties including the Qing Dynasty. Such rich, colorful and impressive poems became a new rising star in the field of object-chanting poetry. There appeared a great many well-known poems and even sentences that were widely read and extolled by people. This specific theme of poetry has its own historical track and unique social value and artistic features. In addition, there are also crab sentences, which are both extremely striking and a precious cultural heritage worthy to be inherited and carried forward.
