元代“歌诗”的繁荣与历史定位

Prosperity and Historical Position of Geshi in Yuan Dynasty

"歌诗"是对中国古代尤其是汉代以后入乐之诗、可歌之诗的泛称,元代是古代歌诗发展的重要时期。元代歌诗在受到汉文化影响的同时,亦与辽、金"歌诗"传统有所联系。此种背景下,"歌诗"概念在元代被普遍接受并使用,很多文人陆续创作了大量的歌诗作品,其热情不亚于杂剧和戏曲的创作。同时,元代"歌诗"理论也表现出了崇尚情性、崇尚自然声律的特征,这与时代主流的理学思想形成了对话关系,表现出二元性特征。整体而言,元代"歌诗"在整个中国音乐文学史上是十分必要的一环。
