“王维取嘉句”考论

A Textual Study on Wangwei Plagiarized Poems

王维《积雨辋川庄作》颈联"漠漠水田飞白鹭,阴阴夏木啭黄鹂"为世人所传唱的名句,但自从李肇在《唐国史补》中称王维乃窃用李嘉祐诗句,此两句诗的归属遂成为一件千古悬案。诗句的著作权如何归属,王维是否剽窃别人诗句?通过对大量史料的甄别梳理、诗人生平资料的比较、以及对诗句的全面分析,我们基本上可以得出结论:水田白鹭之联为王维诗句。所谓"王维取嘉句",缺乏事实根据,是李肇采信传闻所致,而王维人品的缺点成为剽窃诗句说的起因。

The second couplet of In My Lodge at Wangchuan after a Long Rain written by Wangwei"Over the quiet marsh-land flies a white egret,And mango-birds are singing in the full summer trees"is a rhesis intoned by people.But since Lizhao said in Tang Dynasty Supplement that Wangwei plagiarized poems from Li Jiayou,and this couplet had been an unsettled law case of one thousand years.How do attribute this couplet copyright to?Whether did Wangwei plagiarize poems from others?By discriminate and comb historical materials,compare data of both poets,and analyze the couplet totally,we can draw the conclusion basically that this couplet was written by Wangwei.What people called Wangwei plagiarizing poems that lacked of facts and proofs and that because Lizhao picked up rumors.Character defects of Wangwei was the cause of rumor that he plagiarized poems.
