论汉语音乐性和词体起源

On the Musicality of Chinese Language and the Origin of Ci Genre

汉语音乐性是中国古典诗歌体式演变的基础。词体在近体诗基础上诞生,正是在汉语音乐性基础上,语言诗化与散文化之间的矛盾,诗歌节奏稳定性与诗意表达自由性之间的矛盾,和中唐后去律趋散文体革新的时代要求,这三股力量共同作用的结果。

In the evolution of the classical Chinese poetic style,the musicality of the Chinese language is the very basis,for the Ci genre came into existence based on modern style poetry. And just based on the musicality of the Chinese language can the contradiction between poetic language and prosaic language,between the stability of poetic rhythm and the freedom of poetic expression as well as the epochal request for the stylistic innovation from rhythmical prose style to prose style free from parallelism after the mid-Tang Dynasty be resolved—a result of the interaction of the abovementioned three factors.
