论吴梅村早期诗歌风格——兼考其早期作品编年

On the Style of Wu Meicun's Pomes in His Early Stage

关于吴梅村早期诗作的风格,自《四库全书总目提要》的评语问世,二百余年来,几乎已成定论。此论以明亡为界,将吴梅村前后期作品风格分为判然分明的两截。本文搜罗释析梅村早期之重要诗歌作品,揭示其忧心国事、诗风慷慨的本来面目,廓清清代中期以来诗论家对梅村早期诗歌风格评识的迷误,同时对梅村作于甲申之前的部分诗篇,加以翔实的考证,确定其创作编年。

A final conclusion on the quality of the style of Wu Meicun's pomes in his early stage was virtually reached two hundred years ago in the General Catalogue for the Complete Collection in Four Treasures. It distinguishes two different styles between Wu Meicun's earlier and later poems. This author collects and analyses Wu Meicun's earlier pomes in order to show their true colors. I argue that those pomes have a vehement style while demonstrating the poet's worry about the country. In this way, the critique about him since the Qing Dynasty will be put right. At the same time, I give a textual research on some of Wu meicun's pomes written before the year of jiashen, which helps to determine their chronicle.
