杨士奇与明初台阁体研究述评

The Review of the Study of Yang Shiqi and Tai-ge Style

明初台阁体是研究明代文学史不可越过的一段,学术界对台阁体名称的由来、馆阁体与台阁体、台阁体的形成原因与存在时间、创作内容和艺术特征等方面进行了充分的研究。研究者对台阁体总体上持批评态度,普遍认为台阁体以歌功颂德为主要内容,以粉饰太平为功用,文风雍容典雅,并无太多可取之处。亦有研究者注意到台阁体在雍容气象下掩盖着"天趣之真"。台阁体的形成与明代的政治、社会状况等有着密切的联系,对于台阁体应该具体分析,不应轻作论断。

In the history of literature of the Ming Dynasty,the Tai-ge style should not be ignored. The origin of the name of the Tai-ge style,the relationship between the Guan-ge style and the Tai-ge style,the changes causing its arising and its duration,its creative content and artistic features and so on,all of these things have been well studied. Many researchers do not think very highly of the Tai-ge style,because its main focus consists of praising the achievements of the Emperor,while whitewashing the social situation,and the literary style as well is decorated by overly luxurious words and sentences. Yet some researchers have also pointed out that,even so,there are in the Tai-ge style some natural emotions displayed in the luxurious appearance and language. There was indeed a very close relationship between the formation of the Tai-ge style and those political and social conditions during the Ming Dynasty. For those researching and assessing the Tai-ge style,their analysis should be specific and historical,with a summary assessment more analytical and less general.
