《春江花月夜》被误解新探

On the Misunderstanding of A Night of Flowers and Moonlight by the Spring River

有人认为,张若虚《春江花月夜》之所以在问世之后数百年间受到冷遇,是因为它"与四杰共命运,随四杰而升沉"。然而,四杰歌行从唐迄明代有流传,该论断在逻辑上不能成立。近百年来,相继有人有意无意地忽略了《春江花月夜》那段漫长的冷遇史,对它在诗史上的影响力作了过于拔高失实的评估。基于唐至明初相关文献的仔细考察,该诗长期传播受滞的原因得以充分的揭示。

Some believed that the reason why A Night of Flowers and Moonlight by the Spring River got the cold shoulder for hundreds of years since it was created lies in sharing the same fate with the four great poets in the early Tang Dynasty. But their poems were spread from Tang to Ming Dynasty, thus the argument can not be established in logic. Nearly a hundred years, people one after another ignored the long reception history of A Night of Flowers and Moonlight by the Spring River either intentionally or unintentionally, and overestimated its effect in the history of poetry. On the basis of careful study of the related literature from Tang to early Ming Dynasty, the paper fully revealed the reasons that this poem was blocked.
