20世纪散曲学史

History of Vernacular Song Scholarship of the 20 th Century

散曲,一种被历史遗忘了的诗体和学问,在“五四”白话诗文运动的召唤下突然苏醒,经过近百年的发展,至世纪末已蔚为一门与诗词和戏曲相平行的独立学科。描写散曲学几起几落的盛衰消长印迹,记录那些曾在这一倍受冷落的边缘地带辛苦耕耘的学者,采集品味他们所取得的丰硕成果,反思本学科的局限与不足,预测未来的发展走向,为新世纪有志修习此道者提供一个坚实的作业平台,已是世纪之交刻不容缓的学术期待。以此作为本文的设定内容与目标。

Vernacular Song (San Qu), as a poetic genre and a subject of study, had long been ignored. Awakened by the May Fourth Movement which advocates colloquialism, it has been an independent subject in nearly one hundred years. This article tells the history of vernacular song leaning, collecting achievement made by laborious scholars in the margin subject. The article also reflects the limit of the subject and predicates the direction of the future development. On the turning of the century, the subject has an urgent need of the basic foundation for the new researchers, which is the aim of the article.
