论李白对七绝联章体制的创变——以《上皇西巡南京歌》《永王东巡歌》为例

Li Bai’s Innovations for Linked Seven-Character Quatrains as Exemplified by “Songs of the Emperor’s Excursion to the West” and “Songs of of Prince Yong’s Excursion to the East”

李白《上皇西巡南京歌》《永王东巡歌》两组诗歌,次第叙事,首尾完整,实际上开启了宋代七绝联章的纪事之法。其微言讽喻、以小见大的方式,继承了乐府精神,对王建等中唐诗人的宫词联章创作有一定影响。同时,这两组诗还是李白"自我作古"的新题乐府创作,体现出李白对于诗体创变的新尝试,体现出安史之乱后,李白面对社会巨变的现实,对国运及诗运转关的新思考。

Li Bai’s "Songs of the Emperor’s Excursion to the West" and "Songs of Prince Yong’s Excursion to the East" present a chronological and structurally complete narrative,and initiate the mode of writing chronicle with linked seven-character quatrains in the Song dynasty(960-1729).These examples,with their rhetoric of allegory and multum in parvo,inherits the spirit of the yuefu poetry and insert their influence on the practice of Palace poetry by such mid-Tang poets as Wang Jian.These two series of poems,as Li Bai’s creation of yuefu with new themes,not only exhibit Li Bai’s efforts to create a new poetic style,but also reflect his changed opinions about the future of the dynasty and poetry in the face of the unprecedented changes in the society after the "Turmoil of An-Shi in Tang Dynasty"(755-763).
