文体规范下的艳情文学观──《玉台新咏序》和《花间集序》的选本批评

Viewpoint of Erotic Literature under Standard Regulated style——Criticism of Yu-Tai-Hsin-Yuang Preface and Hua-Chien-Chi Preface

从《玉台新咏序》与《花间集序》观之,《玉台新咏》与《花间集》的产生,既有"诗道不出乎变复"的历时性原因,二者以艳情主题、女性形象、情采诉求之"变"实现对正统文学的悖逆;也有"群体的选择与互动"的共时性时空背景,二者都产生于衰世乱局的宫廷与贵族文人的文艺沙龙里,相对于胡夷里巷歌谣或敦煌民间曲子词,是雅文学。《玉台新咏》与《花间集》娱乐、抒情、审美和重视读者的价值取向,丰富和发展了文学的功能。《花间集》对《玉台新咏》的接受,是艳情话语在特定时空中的影响效应,完成了对《玉台新咏》的反思和超越。《玉台新咏》和《花间集》文体本身的社会期许与历史定势,尤其是作品对审美愉悦和情感思想内涵追求的差异,是导致二序文学史地位及评价差异的主要原因。

From the editorial objective of Yu-Tai-Hsin-Yuang Preface and Hua-Chien-Chi Preface, we can see that their emergence was not only due to the historical cause that poem was nothing else but change, both rebelling against orthodox literature by erotic theme, female image and affection, but also due to the contemporary context of group choice and interaction, both originating from the literature salon of fallen aristocracy scholars and belonging to elegant literature compared to folksong and popular lyrics. Yu-Tai-Hsin-Yuang and Hua-Chien-Chi enriched and developed the function of literature by their entertaining, emotion expressing, esthetical and reader valuing orientation. The acceptance of Yu-Tai-Hsin-Yuang by Hua-Chien-Chi implied the influence of erotic discourse in a specific era, and the reassessment and transcendence of Yu-Tai-Hsin-Yuang. The social expectation and historical momentum of both literature style, especially, the intention discrepancy of esthetical delight and emotional ideology played the vital role in their historical position and evaluation. Consequently, the implication of transformation from aristocratic style to erotic style can be discovered.
