曲选:中国古代曲学的新视域——以《南音三籁》为例

Selections of Dramas: A New Perspective of Chinese Ancient Drama Research——A Case Study of Nanyin Sanlai

中国古代曲学包括散曲学与戏曲学两个方面,向来对这两个领域关注的焦点在曲学论著、曲作序跋及戏曲评点上,而对曲选则较为忽略。本文以凌濛初《南音三籁》为例,试从曲选这一角度为古代曲学提供新的视域。该书集曲论、曲选、曲评于一身,其本身即是一个独特的存在。由该书,我们可以知道凌氏的整体曲学观,即韵部从《中原音韵》,曲辞尚本色、新变,在全局的观照下评论曲作即重视曲作的整体性,传统与时俗兼顾。

Ancient Chinese drama research covers two fields including the studies of sanqu （a type of verse with tonal patterns modeled on tunes drawn from folk music） and traditional Chinese opera. However, the focus on these two fields is usually centered on drama theories, prefaces and post-scripts of drama works and comments on opera, selections of dramas are relatively neglected. This paper takes Ling Mengchu,s Nanyin Sanlai as an example, intending to provide a new insight for ancient drama research from the angle of drama selections. Ling, s book integrates drama theories, selections and comments, which is rather unique, and from this book we can understand Ling , s views of drama research as a whole.
