刘云若诗歌论

A Study of Liu Yunruo's Poems

民国通俗小说家刘云若本为京津地区有一定影响之诗人,惜其诗歌散见于当时报刊,生前从未结集,又为其小说之名所掩,以致时过境迁竟鲜为人知。通过探研其诗歌之来,认为刘云若诗歌主要是以竹枝体(打油体)来记录生活,讽刺现实,具有"诗史"品质,文献价值大于诗学价值,是研究民国诗歌和津沽文化的重要资料。

Known as a popular novelist during the Republic of China,Liu Yunruo used to be a famous poetacross Beijing and Tianjin.However,Liu’s poems became oblivious with time passage and circumstancechanges,because his poems scattered in the newspapers and magazines of the time and had never beencollected in an anthology,and his novelist fame surpassed the poet one.A study of the origins of Liu’spoems shows that his poems are mainly of a Zhuzhi style(doggerel),with which he recorded life andmocked reality,and embodied the quality of a“poetic history”.Therefore,the documentation value of thepoems overweighs the poetic value,and the works provide important literature for the study of the poetryduring the Republic of China,as well as the culture of Tianjin.
