中国话剧的诗化传统——为纪念中国话剧110周年而作

The Poetic Tradition of Chinese Drama:In Commemoration of the 110th Anniversary of Chinese Drama

中国文学的传统与其说是抒情传统,不如说是诗化传统更确切。中国的戏曲最深刻也是最典型地反映出中国的诗歌传统的强大的辐射力量和渗透力量。中国现代的话剧作家以"情本体"传统改造了、创造性地转化了西方的话剧。田汉、郭沫若是中国话剧诗化传统的开拓者。曹禺不但是中国话剧诗化传统之集大成者,而且是中国话剧诗化之典范。夏衍的戏剧在中国话剧的诗化进程中,有着特殊的意义。宋之的和吴祖光都继承和扩展了这种话剧诗化的传统。中国文学的诗化传统制约着中国话剧文本的诗化进程,也自然影响到导演、表演艺术和舞台艺术的诗化追求。

The Chinese literary tradition is not so much a lyric as a poetic tradition, with Chinese opera reflecting most profoundly and typically the powerful impact of the Chinese poetic tradition. Writers of modern Chinese drama have transformed western drama with the ＂ lyric＂ tradition. Tian Han and Guo Moruo are pioneers of the poetic tradition in Chinese drama; Cao Yu is not only the synthesizer but also the model of poetic tradition in Chinese drama; Xia Yan＇s plays are of special significance in the poetic process of Chinese drama. Song Zhi and Wu Zuguang have inherited and expanded the poetic tradi- tion of this drama. The poetic tradition of Chinese literature governs the poetic process of Chinese dramatic texts and influences the poetic pursuit of directors and performing and stage arts.
