“馆下谈诗”探析

An Analysis of "Talks on Poetry in the Lodge

宋代诗话在存抄或传抄的过程中 ,往往产生由文字的歧异而衍生意义上出入的情况 ,并因而使常须悟读的精简文本论述重心异化。如《临汉隐居诗话》中“馆下谈诗”一则 ,便由文本转录的差异而分别带出韩愈诗评、论者诗观、以文为诗、诗味、宋代诗学原则及宋诗话诠释等问题 ;其中韩愈诗是否“押韵之文”的问题更是后世以文为诗诗学观念的滥觞 ,本篇试图由这则诗话的出处作一共时性的探讨 ,提出它与当时几种流传版本的差别 ,由不同文本所呈现的意义结构的变异 ,与宋代诗学发展的关系 ,及这则诗话在宋代诗学史上的深层意义。

In the process of recording and transmitting the Song shihua (poetry talks), different versions tend to convey different meanings. This has led to a shift of emphasis away from the intuitive readings of the succinct texts. The different interpretations emerging in the process of recording and transmitting the 'Guan Xia Tan Shi' ('Talks on Poetry in the Lodge') in Yinju Shihua have brought forth a series of controversial issues, such as HanYus poetry criticism, the critics view on poetry, prose as poetry, taste of poetry, principles of poetics in the Song dynasty and the hermeneutics of the Song shihua . The issue of whether Han Yus poetry is actually 'rhymed prose', among others, has stirred up heated debates on the issue of 'prose as poetry'. This paper attempts to investigate 'Guan Xia Tan Shi' from a synchronic perspective. Through collating different popular versions and examining the stuctures of meaings in different texts, the significance of this clause of shihua and its relation to the development of the Song poetics will be underscored.
