《赋谱》释要

On Some Key Issues in Fu Pu

《赋谱》是一部失传已久的唐代赋格,20世纪80年代由日本回传至中国,主要内容包括律赋赋句论、律赋结构论、赋题论三方面。其总体思路与后世的赋格颇为相似,与赋话则差别很大。《赋谱》中最有特色的内容是对律赋赋句种类的划分和分析,对赋句组合规则的探讨说明,它在这方面的成就远远超过了后世的同类著作。《赋谱》划分律赋结构时所用到的头、项、腹、尾等术语,在唐宋两朝曾广泛地运用于中日各种文体当中。《赋谱》所论带有人为规定的性质,其根本是出于科举考试的要求;也具有鲜明的时代特征,与中晚唐律赋的创作风习密切相关。

Introduced back to China from Japan in 1980 s,Fu Pu( A Guide to Fu Poetry) was originated from a Tang Dynasty book on fuge( the styles of fu prose or poetry),with the contents of lüfu( regulated prose or poetry) sentences,and views on both lüfu structures and fu titles. The intention of the book is similar to fuge of later ages,but different from fuhua( commentary on fu writings). The most distinctive part of Fu Pu lies in its meticulous classification and deep analysis of lüfu sentences and the rules of combining them. The book exceeds all the other similar works of later ages. Such terms as tou,xiang,fu and wei( literary,head,neck,belly and tail) used in Fu Pu to classify lüfu structures were used widely in various genres both in China and Japan during the Tang and the Song Dynasties. The rules in Fu Pu was made to satisfy the demands of imperial examinations,thus having its own time characteristic——a close connection to the literary trend of lüfu writing in the mid and late Tang Dynasty
