变风变雅与“礼崩乐坏”

On the transformation of style in "The Book of Songs

西周末年和春秋时期的社会大变革给思想文化领域带来了巨大变化,我国的第一部诗歌总集《诗经》在礼崩乐坏的社会现实下风格也发生了明显的转变,从雍容典重的雅、颂诗篇,到直抒胸臆、讽喻时政的变风变雅诗。在“变风变雅”的一些诗篇中,诗人以激愤的怨恨之情对天呼号。《诗经》再也不是传统风、雅中对现实半真实、半理想主义的讴歌了,而是体现出一种深沉的忧患意识。“变风变雅”可以说是一个更进步、更活跃、人类意识更加觉醒的时代的序曲。

In the last years of Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period,social changes exerted a great influence on the fields of ideology and culture,and brought about a fundamental change in style of 'The Book of Songs'.Some poems in it were no longer the songs singing the praises of reality,but the ones filled with the awareness about sufferings,which was a overture of a more progressive era.
