论中唐诗人自注其诗体现的读者意识——以白居易、元稹等诗人为中心

The Audience Awareness in the Self-Annotations among Mid-Tang Poets such as Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen

中唐时期,白居易、元稹等诗人频繁地在诗作中运用自注,这一衍伸性的创作行为是辅助他们诗歌传达情志的重要手段,体现出强烈的读者意识。这些诗人多数在编辑诗文集时自注过去的作品,使得他们的诗歌在传播后能够更恰切地被未知的无名读者理解。其中,白居易预设的读者知识储备较为浅薄,因此他自注的熟典极多。传统的"立言"观念可能是元白等诗人具有强烈读者意识的原因,他们的自注行为确实使诗歌更易被理解,却也对读者的创造性阅读造成妨碍,压缩了诗歌的阐释空间。

In Mid-Tang dynasty,self-annotations to poems were frequently practiced in Bai Juyi（ 772- 846）,Yuan Zhen（ 779- 831） and other poets. This act as an extension of literary creation became an important means to assist their poetic expression,and it showed strong audience awareness. This act was especially practiced when poets edited their works for an expected interpretation of their works in later reading. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen＇s desire to be memorized by later generations appeared to be stronger than other poets of their age. Bai Juyi assumed a relatively lower expectation of his readers,so he made many annotations to familiar literary allusions. The method of self-annotations,while facilitating the understanding of poems,narrowed down the space of interpretation.
