歌辞总体观念及其学术意义——兼论“歌辞学”的构建

General Concept of Song and Lyrics and Its Academic Significance——On the construction of the “Study of Song and Lyrics”

当前对古代"歌"的研究面临困境,如条块分割、严齐杂言之辨、单线演进、身份模糊、以今例古等,主要是由于强调学科分类及学术研究的精细化所造成的。其实古人将歌、诗、词、曲视为"一统",认为它们代表了歌辞演进的不同阶段。任中敏先生则在现代学术视阈中提倡"歌辞总体观念",并通过对词、曲、敦煌歌辞、唐声诗的研究身体力行地践行了这一思想。为推动此项研究,应构建"歌辞学",着手开展歌辞作品的整理、歌辞型态学研究、撰写歌辞通史等各项工作。

The present studies of ancient Chinese＂songs＂are facing some difficulties such as fragmentation,strict differentiation between equaling distributed poems and unequally distributed ones,single line evolution,identity ambiguity,illustration of ancient poems from today＇s point of view and so on.This phenomenon is mainly due to the emphasis on disciplinary classification and the refinement of academic researches.In fact,the ancients regarded the songs,poems,lyrics,and music as belonging to the＂unified category＂representing the different stages in the evolution of song and lyrics.Professor Ren Zhongmin put forward the＂overall concept of song and lyrics＂from modern academic perspective and practiced this thought in his study of Ci,music,Dunhuang songs and lyrics,and the Tang poetry.In order to promote this study,we should construct the＂Study of Song and Lyrics,＂compiling the ancient songs and lyrics,studying their patterns,and writing the general history of the songs and lyrics.
